FILM DESCRIPTION:
Maj. Benson Payne (Damon Wayans) lives, breathes and sleeps war. But after being honorably discharged from the Marines due to a lack of wars, Payne, the natural-born killer, has absolutely no idea how to cope in everyday civilian life. Fortunately, before he completely breaks down, Payne finds his way back into a military capacity at Madison Preparatory School, leading a group of misfit JROTC students who don't want to be led. Whipping these kids into shape might be his toughest battle yet.

@@ouroboroushd4788 I learned the entire routine he did within a couple months in ROTC and it is muscle memory. You have to practice to get the speed. But we did it kneeling with our backs lowered to the ground like a helicopter and we called it such. Alot of other cadets could do it. But the drill team I was on was a silent drill team. No commands just rifle butts hitting the deck to notify you what was next. I went on to another high school and became the drill team armed and unarmed and color guard commander. They didnt even do formations smh.
