Just have one question.

That guy who holds all them records,

is he still alive?

Why do you ask?

I just thought you ought to let him know

I'm about to knock his name

off that board.

Really?

Why don't you let him know yourself?

He's standing right behind you

in the back of the room.

Class, turn around

and greet Senior Chief Ben Randall.

Senior Chief Randall will be your

lead instructor for the next 18 weeks.

Senior Chief Randall is one of

the most decorated rescue swimmers

in the history

of the United States Coast Guard.

Ben, would you care

to address the class?

No, I think there's been enough talk

for one day.

Chief Skinner, they're all yours.

Attention on deck.

- Carry on.

- Aye, Captain.

PT test begins at 0700 tomorrow.

Class dismissed.

You will file through the front door.

First row first, followed by the second.

Frank.

"When God rips houses

off the ground"?

I was rolling.

And I didn't mean

to put you on the spot up there.

And I was real sorry

to hear about your crew.

Come on. I'll show you around.

- So I hear you're staying in a single?

- Yeah.

Helen's got some family business

she's gotta take care of up there.

Mayday, mayday, mayday!

This is Ballmariner! Ballmariner!

We are on fire! We are on fire!

Go!

- Let's go, let's go, let's go!

- Let's go, logs.

Let's move it out! Let's move it out!

Work as a team! Work as a team!

- Two lines.

- Two lines.

- Two lines.

- Two lines.

Do you understand me?

Yes, Petty Officer Hall.

Very well, let's try it. Lean and rest!

Pop tall.

Oorah!

- What the hell was that?

- That was terrible.

That was the worst

I've ever seen.

That was terrible.

Let's try that again.

Twenty-two.

Come on!

- Up!

- Twenty-three.

Down. Up.

- Twenty-four.

- Get that ass down, Cable!

- Up!

- Twenty-five.

That is absolutely horrible.

Pop tall to the lone pine and back! Go!

Move your ass!

Let's move it! Get it going!

Let's go.

Let's go.

Bring them back.

- Circle back!

- Let's go! Get back here!

- Get back in line!

- Let's move!

- Back in formation.

- Let's move, move, move!

Back in formation.

Lean and rest. Senior Chief on deck.

Pop tall.

Oorah!

I don't care who you are,

where you are from

or where you are going.

I care about one thing

and one thing only.

That is the future victims

that you will be asked to save.

If I feel that you will fail them,

I will fail you, understood?

Yes, Senior Chief!

Hodge. Where are you from, Hodge?

I'm from Teaneck, New Jersey,

Senior Chief!

Hodge is our triple repeat.

Do you plan on making it this time,

threepeat?

I really hope to, Senior Chief.

Yeah, well, hope don't float, Hodge.

You better start to learn to swim
