01:02 Hargrove, I don't mind telling you that when you first joined this battery, my first impulse was to resign and join the Navy.
01:08 Yes, sir.
01:09 Weren't you late falling out for Reveille this morning?
01:11 Well, I...
01:12 Weren't your leggings on backwards?
01:13 Yes, but...
01:14 Yeah, I know, you went back to fix them. When you came back, you didn't have your field hat on.
01:16 Yes, sir.
01:17 Do you mean to say that you don't know about Hargrove?
01:20 We thought you knew.
01:22 What happened?
