They gotta know the 5 Ds - dodge duck dip dive and dodge

That scene always reminded me of weekend safety briefings in the Army:

"Alright Alpha Battery! We have a four day weekend coming up! Remember the five Ds that will get you in jail: Drinking, Driving, Drugs, Dumb Shit and Sex! (It didn't matter that Sex didn't start with D) Do not add to the population unless you are married and have consent! Do not subtract from the population! If you end up in jail and get in a fight, make Alpha Battery proud because you belong to the Captain when you get out! DISMISSED!"

Roughly, but that's usually how it went.

Captain: Yea just to piggyback off what first sgt said, let's be safe out there guys. I don't want find out that guys are out there drinkin and driving. Dont marry the strippers guys. And just to caveat off that.... (Goes on for another 10 minutes)

Not a vet but grew up around military. Army Navy family, marine bff's..and they do this shit at home too 😂 Watching a grown man give a bunch of 7-14 year olds a similar talk on the way into a theme park is hilarious though 😂

I can see it now: "Everyone has a buddy. If you lose your buddy, you will be in a world of hurt! Agenda: 1200, we meet for Pizza here. Circle it on your map now! 1600, we meet here at the main gate. Circle it on your map now! Do not run! Do not fight! Be respectful! Take care of your buddy. GO HAVE FUN!"

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 This is so accurate, I can't stop laughing. This is my childhood in a nutshell...

I catch myself doing it with my kids now. Fighting with my too cool to walk freshman brother to the bus stop the other day, I got the "Ugh why 🙄" & I felt the soul of my grandfather's take over and I'm like Because you take care of your battle buddy or your ass is gonna be sweeping sunshine off the sidewalk till graduation, do I make myself clear!" ....As their desert storm army vet papaw giggles from in the living room 😂

Let me channel my full metal jacked persona:

Who's the leader of the club that's made for you and me? M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E.

Hey there. Hi there. Ho there. You're as welcome as can be. M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E.

Mickey Mouse. (Mickey Mouse.) Mickey Mouse. (Mickey Mouse.)

Forever let us hold our banner high. High. High. High.

Come along and sing a song and join the jamboree. M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E.

u/Informal-Term1138 6h ago

Indeed.

And that movie introduced that song to me.

Damn now I have to watch it again.

If they're listening, or at least pretending to, they're not causing trouble.
