Rear d? Those guys aren't even real soldiers.
All they do is wash tanks and mow lawns.

Wait a second.
Florida? Oh, hell, no.
This is so stupid.
We look like a couple of groupies At a one direction concert.

No, no.
Hand-head is how we've said "I love you" since we were kids, So give me this, because we haven't been together in a year And I'm happy pete didn't get blown up.
Well, I almost got blown up.
But you were never scared, right? I mean, I was scared for you, But I'd think about you not being scared, And then I wouldn't be so scared anymore.
There's been a lot of this.
Okay.
Randy? Uh-huh? People were shooting At me every day.
Of course I was scared.
I shouldn't have said that.
Now I have to reevaluate how I felt.
Yeah, I'm actually getting really scared again.
No, no, you can't retroactively be scared.
The human body doesn't work that way.
Mine does, okay? It's coming in a wave.

Enlisted S01E01 Pilot I served with your father for half my life.
When he died, I swore I'd look after you and your brothers.
Aw Don't "aw," damn it! You were the only hill brother that wasn't a screwup.
Derrick's got no respect, hates being a soldier.
Where's my motorcycle, boy?! Come on, where could I hide A bright yellow motorcycle? It was in the tree.
And randy loves being a soldier.
I can aim by sight alone.
Which is too bad.
Boo-ya! Do I have to pay for that? When do you get to the part about them being screwups? Shut up.
I didn't lose a foot in a land mine To hear you talk junk.
Have we ever talked without you Bringing up your fake foot? When your foot gets Blown off, you can bring it up whenever you like.
You get it's weird it's a white guy's foot.
My size only comes in white.
Okay, I can't be stuck in rear d.
It's for the guys who can't cut it.
I'm in rear d.
Let me back up.
Rear d maintains the base And supports the families of deployed soldiers.
It's an important job.
Totally agree.
Now, how do I get out of it? You don't.
I'm being wasted here! This is insane! How did it go from him yelling at me? I'm yelling at him.
This is me we're talking about, all right? 3.

specimen? In afghanistan, I led over 100 raids on insurgent camps.
I caught a grenade and threw it back at the guy.
You want to know who killed bin laden? Okay, it wasn't me, but it was a guy very much like me.
This is a little bell I ring When someone's being a total ass.
I'm just trying to make a point.
Oh, I get your point.
You're bruce willis in die hard.
Van damme in expendables 2.
Is that really the van damme movie you're gonna go with? You got timecop, kickboxer Your mission is here.
You got war games coming up with an italian platoon.
That is more like it.
More important, You gotta find this dog asap.

Name's bogie.
Belongs to one of the families on the base.
And this Is his favorite toy.
Come on, pete, we're giving you a tour of the base! Stop banging on the window, idiot.
Come on, I'm gonna show you where we eat.
Do you ever not shout? Can I please go back to war? ? ay, me gusta that booty This is the opposite of an army commercial.
Yeah, son! I don't know why I said that so excited, But it's pretty cool we're here together, right? Uh, that's a complicated answer, buddy.
Yeah.
I too am thrilled, pete.
I mean, to think just yesterday I was washing a tank Without getting your take on it.
Dude, the only thing that stinks is that we never get To drive these babies.
Someday.
I doubt it.
That should've been bolted on.

Yeah.
Yeah, mean.
Very well done.
Look, if cody wants you three idiots here, It's fine with me.
Just keep your unit out of my unit's way.
"unit.
" See, my platoon is full of bright, dedicated soldiers.
I'll put my privates up against your privates any old day.
seriously? That was my fault.
I'm sorry.
I'm not a huge fan of double entendres, But this has been a fun exchange.
Point is, I'm a dedicated soldier.
Got a little chip on your shoulder, huh? Uh, it's actually In my shoulder.
It's from a grenade-- hurts when it rains.
Also when I move my arm in any direction.
Ah Wow.
Well I think there's something here.
I'm feeling it.
There's not.

Boy, that never happens.
That's never happened as far as I know.
Let's go meet your platoon, huh? These guys? Bradley! Cooper! Bradley! Cooper! Did he say "bradley cooper"? I don't want to kill bradley cooper.
It's just a rhythm thing.
Bradley! Cooper! Bradley! Cooper! Yah! Bradley cooper! Bradley cooper! What is he What are you doing? Bradley cooper, bradley cooper He's actually gotten much better.
Do I have to pay for that? I am so screwed.

Yeah! Pete hill in the house! Stop being his hype man.
He just got back from war, And he's nervous.
In afghanistan, I led over 100 raids on insurgent camps.
If anyone can make you real soldiers, it's me.
Now, to start with, this unit doesn't even have a motto.
A motto embodies the spirit of the unit! Shh.
Ooh, how about, "give me back Those cds you borrowed, brian.
" That's not a motto.
But it does need to be said.
Let's talk about your appearance.
Now, we've got a weight issue In this general area here.
We do.
Yeah, we do! Stop.
Stop that.
What's your name? Corporal george chubowski.
Chubowski? Wow.
Okay, you can't change.
It'd be weird if you weren't big.
No one likes an ironic name! For the love of all things holy, Shut up, randy! Inside voice, boo-boo.
Listen up! Our mission is to find a dog.
But we can skip that, unless that dog has been trained By the taliban at a doggie madrasa.
hmm? It's an arabic learning institution.
You know what? Never mind.
What we're gonna do instead Is focus on war games, Which is way cooler than looking for a dog.
Now, let's go find a great soldier Inside of each one of you.
Two, three.
Seven! One, two, three.
Eight! One, two, three.
One! I don't even know what that is.
Three! One, two, three.
Four! One, two, three.
Five! One, two, three! Six! Why you throwing elbows, cindy?! I'm going through a divorce! let's go! I don't need your help! Your back's like memory foam! Your hand's inside of me.
Dear god.
How does that even happen? Actually, this is the furthest I've gotten.
Of course it is.
A little help.
So it turns out there was not a great soldier Inside of each of you.
Except for park, who I'm now afraid of.
Thank you.
'sup, grunts? You pete? I'm sergeant hill.

Take your ass back to kinko's, You 20-year-old bastard! I love being a dad.
What's up with him? He felt bad about letting you down, So he did an hour of jumping jacks.
I don't know if you've ever seen a grown man cry While doing jumping jacks.
It sounds funny; it's just sad.
All right, look.
I'm sorry I didn't keep In touch.
I guess I thought about what could happen, like with dad, And figured If I was distant it would be easier on you guys.
I was wrong.
Yeah, well, it felt like you didn't need us, you dick.
You know, I mean, we're all we've got, so Okay, this is way too heavy for randy to hear, but, uh You want to know how much I needed you guys? You see these? I put these on here.
And whenever I felt like I wasn't gonna make it, I'd look at them.
So you guys would be the last thing that I see.
You're right.
That's way too heavy for randy.
I'm sorry I disappointed you, pete.
Oh, god, that's even sadder than you said.
Well actually now-now it is kind of funny.
Everyone just relax.
That's too much.
Now, I owe you guys an apology.

A letdown.
A disappointment to everyone I know.
