Flashback to Basic: Window licker conversation
The Drill Sergeants in Basic liked to pick on the Platoon Guide, or PG, who was essentially a peer leader selected from among the trainees to play a leadership role to the platoon. One day right before lunch, outside the DFAC:
DS: "LOOK AT THAT WINDOW, PRIVATE."
PG: "Yes, Drill Sergeant."
DS: "DO YOU WANT TO LICK IT?"
PG: "Drill Sergeant?"
DS: "DO YOU WANT TO LICK THE WINDOW?"
PG: "Uh, no, Drill Sergeant."
DS: "THEN STOP ACTING LIKE A WINDOW LICKER AND ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS. DID YOU TAKE THE SHORT BUS TO SCHOOL?"
PG: "No, Drill Sergeant."
DS: "NO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO STOP ACTING LIKE A WINDOW LICKER OR NO YOU DIDN'T TAKE THE SHORT BUS?"
PG: "Uh, n-no I didn't take the short bus, Drill Sergeant."
DS: "CARRY ON. FILE THE PLATOON INTO THE DFAC, PRIVATE."
DS: "LOOK AT THAT WINDOW, PRIVATE."
PG: "Yes, Drill Sergeant."
DS: "DO YOU WANT TO LICK IT?"
PG: "Drill Sergeant?"
DS: "DO YOU WANT TO LICK THE WINDOW?"
PG: "Uh, no, Drill Sergeant."
DS: "THEN STOP ACTING LIKE A WINDOW LICKER AND ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS. DID YOU TAKE THE SHORT BUS TO SCHOOL?"
PG: "No, Drill Sergeant."
DS: "NO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO STOP ACTING LIKE A WINDOW LICKER OR NO YOU DIDN'T TAKE THE SHORT BUS?"
PG: "Uh, n-no I didn't take the short bus, Drill Sergeant."
DS: "CARRY ON. FILE THE PLATOON INTO THE DFAC, PRIVATE."
