…Corps Morale…

McHale’s Log… SD: 10307.08

(plot add)

 

 

McHale walks into Holodeck 3… just at that time a squad of Marines go running by….  Led by Gunnery Sergeant Piper, they were dressed in brown t-shirts and camouflage fatigue pants with running shoes.  The Gunny, doing what he does best, was whipping those boys back into good feelings…. Rather than being down and moping from lacking morale.  McHale noticed a barrage of Grunts coming from deep in the gunny’s throat… and oddly enough he understood every one of em.  

 

 

-Steel- Leah- righ-leyahhhh…. (squad chants back)  Leh- righ- Leyahhhh,  Lefty- riiigh leyaaahhh….Looo- Righ-Leyaahhh!! I love to double time!! (squad chants back)  Now, Lift ya head and a hold it hiiiiiigh!! (squad chants)... The best damn squad is a passin on byyyyy! (squad chants) Lookin gooood and a feelin fiiiiiine! (squad chants.)

 

 

McHale looks on while leaning against the archway of the holodeck, proud of his marines… They really are shaping up… Not that he didn’t have faith in the Gunny…

Its more of a statement that squad Beta will be shining brighter than the others on this ship.  Just then, Gunny backs off…. This got McHales attention… then SSgt. Hollingsworth takes over (who, when he grunts, sounds 10xs more horse) , and the gunny falls in behind him….

 

 

-Popeye- They Dropped me on a Battle Field!! (squad chants)  They gave me a rifle and they told me to kiiiiill !!!! (squad chants) A-Loooo-riiigh-Leeyahhh… A Leh-righa-leyahh…. If I should Die in the Combat ZONE!!!! (squad chants)  Box me up and ship me home!!!!!

 

The marines continue to drill, in a Paris Island representation on the holodeck… as McHale walks out happy with the status of his soldiers.  He wouldn’t expect anything less.  

McHale has yet to meet this new Lieutenant, he’s eager to welcome him aboard the Arc….

“The more Marines on a ‘fleet’ ship, the better it runs, OORAH!”

 

Though McHale is still rather upset that the order was given to gas sickbay… He can see that his marines are starting to get over it, or maybe that’s just what they’re saying so the gunny doesn’t chew their head off…
