Lead, Follow, or Get Out of the Way
Pvt. Joe Bowers:
I don't want a new assignment.
I tell Sergeant Metsler that
every time. I'm good at this.
Sgt. Keller:
Good at what? Sittin' on ass?
No one ever comes in here.
Pvt. Joe Bowers:
Yeah, I know. It's perfect for me.
No one bothers me. I can't screw up.
If I can just stay in here another eight years,
I get my pension. I'm all set.
Why me? Every time Metsler
says, "Lead, follow, or
get out of the way,"
I get out of the way.
Sgt. Keller:
Yeah, when he says that,
you're not supposed to
choose "get out of the way."
It's supposed to embarrass you
into Leading - or at least Following.
Pvt. Joe Bowers:
That doesn't embarrass me.
[referring to his replacement]
Shouldn't I train this guy?
Sgt. Keller:
I think he can figure out how to sit
on his ass and watch TV all day.
