Maj. Malcolm A. Powers:
Your DD 1348 forms are not filled out correctly.
Choozoo:
Yes, sir.
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers:
We're going to approach this exercise in an orderly proficiant manner, Sergeant Major. I want each round of ammunition counted and returned in the exact condition in which it was received.
Choozoo:
I'll personally dot the I's and cross the T's, sir.
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers:
Sloppiness breeds inefficiency.
[Ring and Highway approach]

Maj. Malcolm A. Powers:
Your outfit looks like it could use some cleaning up, Gunny.
Highway:
Sir, I'd like to issued my squad leader a set of night vision goggles.
Lieutenant M.R. Ring:
Darn, I should have thought of that.
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers:
That is not part of your TO&E.
Highway:
But, sir, I...
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers:
Fill out the proper request forms and send it through the chain of command!
Highway:
Request forms!
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers:
[Colonel gets out of car]
Atten-shun! Major Malcom Powers, sir. Annapolis class of '71.
Colonel Meyers:
How are your men doing, Major?
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers:
My men are ready to fight to the death to defend our country, sir.
Colonel Meyers:
Well, let's hope that won't be necessary.
[Looks at Highway]

Colonel Meyers:
Have we ever served together?
Highway:
I don't know, sir. Sergeant Major Choozoo and I were in the 2nd Battalion and 7th in '68.
Colonel Meyers:
I had a rifle company in the 1st Battalion and 7th in '68.
Highway:
Well, we sure as hell chewed some of the same dirt, sir.
Colonel Meyers:
That's for sure. What's your assessment of this exercise?
Highway:
It's a cluster fuck.
Colonel Meyers:
Say again?
Highway:
Marines are fighting men, sir. They shouldn't be sitting around on their sorry asses filling out request forms for equipment they should already have.
Colonel Meyers:
Interesting observation. Carry on, Major.
PA Announcer:
Now hear this. Now hear this.
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers:
This is it. We're going to war.
