Hahaha... You are so right. A very funny scene indeed.Stephanie Elizabeth wrote: ↑02 Nov 2019, 07:02 When he played slapsies with the chief was probably the funniest part. It seemed like such a ridiculous game, but the chief obviously took it very seriously!

I had forgotten it as well! Palmer was an interesting character anyway; always doing his job well but waiting impatiently to fight the Marines.

I second that, finding the name of the game quite funny. In elementary school, I remember children playing the same game under the title of "Slaps." The mentioning of all the strategies that went into the scene brought back memories, and the way the captain took the game so seriously, it give the characters a charming quality befitting of children. It's an excellent contrasting of an environment full of soldiers that haven't seen war to the inevitable horrors they will soon encounter.Stephanie Elizabeth wrote: ↑02 Nov 2019, 07:02 When he played slapsies with the chief was probably the funniest part.

I also thought that the initiation was pretty mild, much more so than I expected it to be!cpru68 wrote: ↑12 Nov 2019, 16:22 I thought it wasn’t too bad of an initiation, really. It could have been a lot worse. My dad was a sergeant in the Army way back when and the jokes they pulled on new people were out there. I thought he got off quite easily except maybe his hand slap game and a few curse words thrown at him.
