Staff Sergeant!

Sounds good.

Could I have my...

You know what?

I got a better idea.

You play any instruments?

I played the trumpet

in third grade,

Staff Sergeant.

Played the trumpet

in third grade? Good.

You still play?

A little,

for small holiday concerts

and festivals.

Good. You ain't gotta be

Chuck Mangione.

All I need is a bugler.

Somebody to play Taps,

Reveille, Battle March...

that type of sh*t,

raise the morale.

Does that interest you?

Oh, yeah.

Good! Parade field, 0600.

All right, thank you,

Staff Sergeant!

My pleasure.

Can I get my book?

[Trash can rattling]

There's 60 of you.

I only need eight.

That means 52 of you

will perish. Do the math.

There's no possible way

that all of you can make it.

If you think

you're worth some sh*t...

Staff Sergeant Sykes!

Private Swofford

reporting for bugle tryout!

Indoc! Atten-hut!

I don't give out

too many special treats...

but this morning,

we have a very special treat.

Private Swofford here

is going to play Reveille

for us.

Okay, Swofford,

play Reveille.

[Whispering]

I don't have a bugle,

Staff Sergeant.

[Whispering]

You don't have a what?

I don't have a bugle.

Oh, no. No, no.

Damn, damn.

You better play

with your mouth.

What?

I said, play it

with your goddamn mouth.

##[Imitating bugle]

F***.

##[Imitating bugle]

I love that tone.

Sounds good to me.

My morale is lifted.

You know

any Stevie Wonder?

You know You Are

The Sunshine Of My Life?

Yes, Staff Sergeant.

Good, that's a classic.

[Clears throat]

##[Imitating bugle]

[Sykes snapping fingers]

Will you shut the f*** up?

There is no bugle program.

You sizzle-dick motherf***er.

Who do you think you are,

some kind of Kenny G

or some sh*t?

No, Staff Sergeant.

Good.

Now to the rest of you,

do you have what it takes...

to be the meanest,

the cruelest,

the most savage...

unforgiving motherfuckers

in God's cruel kingdom?

(all)

Yes, Staff Sergeant!

Will you be able to one day

say, "Yea, though I walk...

"through the valley

of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil...

"because I am

the baddest motherf***er

in the goddamn valley"?

(all)

Yes, Staff Sergeant!

We shall f***ing see!

You still here?

Yes, Staff Sergeant!

Yes, what?

Yes, I am still here,

Staff Sergeant.

So f***ing be it. Fall in!

One mile!

(all)

One mile!

Ain't sh*t!

(all)

Ain't sh*t!

Two miles!

Two miles!

(Sykes)

Your mission is to kill me.

My mission

is to kill you first,

and I'm good.

Them paintball bullets,

they hurt?

[Groaning]

Oh, sh*t! F***, I can't see!

Back to the grunts, dick face!

(Sykes)

In order to

engage your target...

you must see your target,

but your target
