Because you were slow this morning, the smoking lamp will not be lit after morning chow. Now if you people don't show me anything today, if I keep getting this slow deal- we're gonna get together tonight and bust that sound barrier! DO YOU HEAR ME?!"

"I have told you people time and again! Your rifle is your best friend! You let it down and it'll sure let you down!"

"To their faces, he called the recruits "clowns," "little girls," "maggots," "turds," and worse. Behind their backs, he called them wonderful."

"It's hard to be a man when you've never had to be."

"The recruits: strong, cocky, undisciplined. But they won't be United States Marines...until somebody stronger and cockier - and, above all, disciplined - gets done with them. Somebody like Jim Moore."
