Floss stood next to Gene knowing she was about to get bollocked for something random. Lt Sobel enjoyed making her life at Toccoa hell, he wanted her to quit, he didn't think she was good enough for his company and he took every opportunity to tell her. She looked forward at Winters and Nix and gave them both a smile and an eye roll, which made Nix almost burst out laughing while Winters gave her a hint of a smile back.

"You people are at the position
of attention!"

"Pvt. Perconte, did you blouse
your trousers like a paratrooper?"

- "No, sir."
- "Then explain the creases."

- "No excuse, sir."
- "Volunteering is one thing."

"You've got a long way
to prove you belong.

Your weekend pass is revoked.

- Name."
- "Luz, George."

"Dirt in the rear sight aperture.
Pass revoked."

"When did you sew on the chevron?"

"Yesterday, sir."

"Long enough to notice this. Revoked."

"Sir."

- "Name."
- "Malarkey, Donald G."

- "Isn't "malarkey" slang for bullshit?"
- "Yes, sir".

"Rust on the butt plate hinge spring,
Pvt. Bullshit. Revoked."

- "Name.
- Liebgott, Joseph D., sir."

"Rusty bayonet, Liebgott.
You wanna kill Germans?"

- "Yes, sir."
-" Not with this.

I wouldn't take this rusty piece
of shit to war...

...and I will not take you
in your condition.

For a minute Flo thought she had gotten away with it, when Sobel suddenly noticed her.

"Pvt Hilton open your medical satchel"

As Flo did, Sobel tipped all the contents of her satchel onto the dirt"

"How do expect to treat your men when your satchel isnt organized, and sort out your goddamn hair"

Flo was used to this and didn't bat an eyelid, the men around her when they could gave her sympathetic looks, but Flo just kept worrying about her Boys with this bully leading them into a war. She needed to be prepared.

"Thanks to these men
and their infractions, every man who had a weekend pass
has lost it. Change into your PT gear.
We're running Currahee."

"2nd platoon, fall out" Winters shouted.

"You have 2 minutes" Sobel added.

Floss immediately dropped to the ground and gathered all her medical supplies with gene helping her.

She ran into the barrack and quickly stripped off her uniform which had her PT gear on under it. Then while chucking her hair into a ponytail she ran towards the hill. As she passed Dog company there were still comments and whistles as she passed, but Captain Speirs soon put a stop to that with his death glares towards his men and with a nod towards Flo she ran past smiling at him.

"Where do we run?"
-" Currahee!"

-" What's Currahee mean?"
- "We stand alone"!

- "How far up? How far down?"
- "Three miles up, three down!"
