and that's to marry themselves

a naval aviator.

A Puget Deb will tell you,

"Don't you worry

about contraceptives.

"I've got that all taken care of."

Don't believe it, sweet pea.

A Puget Deb will do anything

and say anything to trap you.

I know this sounds silly,

especially in this

so-called modern age,

but you scuzzy college pukes should

watch out, because they're out there,

and you, sweet peas,

are the answer to their dream!

Hurry up! On the double!

You lard asses, I'm going to fix you!

Get up in there!

Quick! On the double, Mayonnaise!

Come on, Seeger.

Little girl poopies to the left,

boys to the right!

Come on, let's go!

What a motley bunch! Get in there!

All right, quick! On the double!

OK, here we go.

How's it going?

You got to be kidding.

How do they expect me

to get down there?

One of you guys want to switch bunks?

- They're assigned bunks, man.

- I don't think we can.

Hey, Daniels, you're in there.

Who the hell is that guy?

That's your mom and dad

for the next 13 weeks.

Fall out! Get outside!

On the double! Come on out here!

Quick! Out the door! On the double!

Quick! Quick! Quick!

More! More! More! More!

Give me 50.

Give me 50. Count them!

Think there's any truth to what he

said about those girls, Puget Debs?

- Sure.

- Still?

Yeah. Should have warned you scuzzy

female types about the Puget Dudes.

They say they're wearing rubbers, but

there's a hole bitten in the bottom.

Very funny, Mayo...

Seeger, Mayo, Worley!

Got enough energy to run them sewers,

get over there and give me 50!

On the double! Right now!

All right, poopie asses,

get your faces on down there!

You women better not expect

special privileges!

You think flying a plane is just

sitting on a chair pushing buttons?

Looks like you need a little

upper-body strength, Seeger!

All right, all right, get up.

Get up!

Step out!

Get back in line! You watch!

Pilots off the Lexington should be

getting to the Officers Club now.

You sure got the timetable down,

Lynette.

After three years,

you learn all the tricks.

Did you see

that bodacious set of tatas?

I brought the records

the social committee asked for.

You didn't come all this way...

You're pissing me off, boys!

The Blue Angels will be in soon.

I'll introduce you if you like.

- Bye for now.

- Bye, bye.

Far f***ing out!

I've been wanting to meet

one of those Blue Angels!

Look at those poopies.

Those poor guys.

See you when you get liberty!

It grows out about an inch by then!

Ain't gonna be no liberty for you.

You'll be going home before then.

Start from one again!

Flyin' low and feelin' mean!

Spot a family by the stream!

Pickle a pair and hear 'em scream!

Cos napalm sticks to kids!

- That's disgusting!

- What are you doing here?

Am I threatening you?

Send you to war,

you'll get your ass shot down.

Wouldn't mind being the first woman

to fly fighters in combat.

- Go in my place. Jets?

- All the way.

- Mayo?

- Jets.

Only two go to jets.

Who's going with me?

- Me!

- Me!

Talking in the ranks again.

You three just added 2 miles

to this little hike...for everybody.

Come on! Let's go!

Family of gooks

are sittin' in a ditch!

Little baby suckin'

on his mama's tit!

Chemical firms don't give a sh*t!

That napalm sticks to kids!

Get up here! Up those stairs!

Let's go! Come on!

Move, move, move!

Move it up here!

Come on, let's go!

Come on, let's go! Go!

Get up here! Move!

Get up here!

Move it, candy pants!

Double it up! Double it up! Move on!

All right, everybody, up!

Up on your feet!

I don't want to see nothing

coming out your mouths either!

Let's get in shape around here!

Stand straight up!

Get out of the way!

Lift your head and hold it high!

The best in the regiment

is runnin' on by!

That could be you at the end of

You don't deserve to look at them!

Della Serra, turn you back!

You are without a doubt

the most pathetic class

I've ever been assigned to!

You big chump. Four weeks, and you

still can't shine a damn buckle.

Shoot me a Kotex, buddy.

Be careful where you stick that.

- Five minutes to inspection, Mayo.

- Where's your money?

Boonies.

You better hope Foley

never finds out about that.

Hey, Perryman.

Look what I got here, man.

Look at that. Look at them buckles.

Look good, huh?

Who's got 10 bucks?

I spend every penny keeping

my old lady and kid in that motel.

You're breaking my heart, Perryman.

Who's doing this for you?

Some enlisted guy, right?

- Hey, tell me something.

- Watch the sheets, man.

Is that piss-ass piece of change

you're making

worth all of us getting kicked out

of here on an honors violation?

I don't see anybody else

complaining about it, Perryman.

Excuse me.

Ready? Go!

Look out, Worley, coming through.

- The hell you say, son.

- Here I come.

I'm putting my name on that wall.

Underneath mine.

F***!

Give me the rope!

Sh*t!

God damn, Mayonnaise!

Piece of cake.

Let's go! Come on, Schneider!

Come on, Schneider!

Let's go! Let's go!

Let's go! Let's go!

Kick ass!

Let's go!

You guys are bringing up the rear!

You ain't getting out of here

till you get over that wall, Seeger!

- I'll make it, sir!

- Hurry up!

Come on. Get over there!

You really want to be a man, Seeger?

You one of those girls didn't

get enough of daddy's attention

cos he really wanted a son, Seeger?

That's it. That's what'll

beat you every time, Seeger...

your mental attitude

is that of a female.

Deep down under all that bullshit

you're still thinking like

a second-class citizen, aren't you?

You can never give orders to men!

Walk around.

Walk around, sugar britches.

Bernoulli's equation gives us

the total amount of energy

contained in the air flow.

"P" is static pressure

in pounds per square foot.

"RHO" is air density

in slugs per cubic foot,

and velocity is in feet per second.

Let's see them.

What about the buckles?

OK. All right. 20 bucks, right?

Hey, bud.

Beat it.

What are you laughing about?

- I thought that's how you did it.

- Did what?

Come on, Santy Claus.

You won't tell anybody, will you?

Not if you make it worth my while.

Free boonies for the duration.

That's fair.

Tell you what...

you get me through aerodynamics,

you can write your own ticket,

my friend.

You got a deal.

George Jones, where are you

when we need you most?

Hey, 2:
00. Moving in. Della Serra.

Radar's up. Scoping the target area.

Zero in. Slick it back.

Who'll be the lucky Deb?

Is it the blonde? The brunette?

Score! He got her.

My God, check Perryman.

Five years of marriage,

still in love.

That's what life's all about.

Hey, Seeger!

Remember those bodacious tatas

and her pal?

Right there they are, bud.

We ought to do something about it.

Captain Graves, so nice to meet you.

The boys speak so highly of you.

Lynette,

he has several people to meet.

- I'm so sorry.

- Captain Rufferwell.

Mrs Rufferwell!

Hello, Captain.

How are you? Nice to meet you.

Could you introduce us
