      • R. Lee Ermey: What a rush! There's nothing like starting off your day with some big guns a crew of hard charging sailors who know how to use 'em! Ooh-Ra! Edit
      • R. Lee Ermey: (has a plate of worms in front of him) If it was good enough for Capt. O'Grady, then it's good enough for me. (eats one) Somebody got some steak sauce, I'm gonna have the rest of these. Edit
      • R. Lee Ermey: By the way, I hear up from the QT that the AVLB is slated to be replaced in a couple of years by what they call the Wolverine. Ooh-Ra! But, according to the Army brass, if I tell ya anymore, I'll have to kill ya. That might screw up our ratings. Edit
