Vietnam Basic Training - Forrest Gump

What's your sole purpose in this army? To do whatever you tell me, Drill Sergeant! God damn it, Gump! You're a goddamn genius! That's the most outstanding answer I've ever heard! You must have a goddamn IQ of 160! You are goddamn gifted, Private Gump! Listen up, people! Now for some reason, I fit in the army like one of them round pegs. It's not really hard. You just make your bed real neat and remember to stand up straight. And always answer every question with, Yes, Drill Sergeant! Is that clear? Yes, Drill Sergeant! What you do is you just drag your nets along the buck. On a good day, you can catch over 100 pounds of shrimp. Everything goes all right. Two men, shrimp in ten hours. That's what you spend on gas. Done, Drill Sergeant! Gump! How did you put that weapon together so quickly, Gump? You told me to, Drill Sergeant. Jesus H. Christ! This is a new company record. If it wouldn't be a waste of such a damn fine enlisted men, I'd recommend you for OCS, Private Gump! You are going to be a general someday, Gump! Now, disassemble your weapon and continue! Like I was saying, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. These are shrimp kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo, pan-fried, deep-fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That's about it.
