Lol, I was a Navy LTJG when it was released, working in and around Miramar AIR & SD Naval Stations. I can't recall if I was on a date or what, when I saw it, but it was a heck of a weird feeling having just gone through what this movie had been about. It felt like every eyeball in that theater was somehow on me. Seemed at the time that Navy guys (officers, at least) all had the same haircut, same civies, same brief case, etc., and most had an "Ensign-mobile", i.e. some kind of hot new car they bought with their first paychecks. Everyone knew who we were, which was ... ah... kinda problematic overseas (i.e. foreign terror threats, etc.).

I thought to myself, "It was such a difficult time, many things went so far sideways, men were hurt, and as an old man, I wish I had happier memories to recall." Oh, I had many good ones and invaribly the happy memories are based on the good things that happened for my men. However, for me at least, it's the negatives that keep coming back. Character flaw, I suppose, i.e. can't just focus on the positives in the experience. However, I don't regret that privilege of serving my country, and doing it as a comissioned officer in the US Navy.

That's the point -- Mayo didn't care about his shipmates at this point in the movie, which is what led to the rest of the movie. Also, Perryman didn't snitch him out - Foley has ways of knowing - Mayo probably wasn't the first hustler to go through AOCS.

This movie has some very important and quite unexpected lessons, that illuminate some illogical things that take place in employment. For that reason, this movie should be required viewing for all college and high school students. This movie demonstrates the concept that: when an employer wants to get rid of an unwanted employee, they do not terminate them. Rather, they get that unwanted employee to quit. Additionally, this situation may turn into a battle of wits and wills. as clearly shown in this movie. I know this from many experiences. In fact, I am considering writing a book on this subject.

I LOVE the next-to-last scene where Sylvester acts like an asshole, then sees what Mayo did for him!!!
