You are Troopers when I say you are Troopers. Not one moment before. And until I believe you fit to carry on that fine tradition¸ you are nothing. Less than nothing.'
"'I will break you and mangle you and grind you beneath my boots. You will beg to be released. You will beg for death - for anything that might save you from me. And I will let you go. Because I don't want you here. No one does. You think you have what it takes. We are about to find out.'
"'Welcome to Boot Camp.'
