I love the brief but noticeable pause when he says "You will remain in this man's army until you are...510 years old" as if he's quickly checking his math because he'll be damned before he uses the wrong number while roasting some private to hell and back.
Soldiers are supposed to know all kinds of stupid useless shit about their equipment. If you're an officer/NCO you get to not only berate those below you for not knowing this, but also come up OBSCURE useless shit to berate them for not knowing.
@@ChadVulpes 100% factual, yo. Do _not_ piss off your CO, because they'll make you do the absolute worst shit that they can think of as punishment, all the while screaming at you like you're an idiot child.
@@josephschultz3301 Nah, some are pieces of shit, incompetent, or just plain stupid. When that happens, no one cares when they get upset. But I get the point.
I did the math this assumes that a bottle cap is 1usd so and the average pay rate for soliders is 30,572(per year) and i multipled by 500 and it is 15,286,000 edit this blew up more than i expected edit 2 enough with the taxes mein gott
@@lehchok6309it’s supposed to be R Lee Ermey, the drill instructor from Full Metal Jacket. Legit guy who started acting because he sent in a tape, he didn’t have an actual part until Fallout Tactics though, this was just a guy imitating him
Drill Instructors are scary when they scream. They become terrifying when they calmly speak to you, especially when the occasion for doing so should have them puking out their lungs from yelling so hard.
I like to think that Dornan didn't just threw a random number of years to scare Chosen One but he actually calculated the time needed to pay for the armor because some privates really manage to lose 7ft power armor
given that he's a seargent, and not from personal experience but a friend who was in the marines, seargents tend to be the most creative with insulting you with facts. It's not a longshot that Dornan actually did the calculations for how long it would take a marine to pay off that suit with their average paycheck
Comentario después de un año pero ... Podríamos simplemente decirlo cuando salga un juego donde cronológicamente 510 años después de fallout 2 para que por lo menos estemos vivos O bueno como tardan los juegos para que mis nietos estén vivos
Sneaking into enemy bases: Fallout 3: "A spy! Shoot him!" New Vegas: _the guards are able to see through your disguise_ Fallout 4: "must've been the jet..." Fallout 2: *_"YOU ARE OUT OF UNIFORM SOLDIER WHERE IS YOUR POWER ARMOR?!"_*
@@sovietdoggo43 Now, to get this out of the way, I don't personally play Fallout, but know somethings of its lore, I thought the longevity was some project ongoing before the bombs dropped, that had something to do with the F.E.V.?
I’d love if they set a sequel 510 years after this and you stumble onto an enclave branch with one withered old ghoul doing push ups near the latrines with dialogue options.
Pretty sure he bashed harder at you if you are a low intelligent, as he called you "MO-RONNNNNNNNN!!!" The one you talk about is the guard i think because he is the one who told you to go away instead of straight up putting rant on your ass
woah had to look this up to see it's true. even goes on to say "i have a brother just like you" so he talks slower and tries not to show he is aggravated.
@@FriendlyGoblinWasTaken”I AM NOT A SIR! I WORK FOR A LIVING YOU MORON!!!!!! YOU WILL CALL ME SARGENT OR SARGENT DORNAN DO YOU HEAR ME?!?! If I like you,You can call me sarge but guess what? I DONT LIKE YOU!!!!!”
"He was a drill instructor I knew. He was also the meanest bastard I've ever known. Once, he caught this private out of uniform and old Dornan went off on the most ear-blistering rant known to man. It was inspiring."
"After serving with the lad for a few months we realized he wasn't even from our army. But he got on the brass' good side so we couldn't kick him out" (I made this up, it sounded funny in my head)
@@woppiejoppie6728 lmfao, that's why i humbly rejected his offer to join the minutemen, once you conquered those settlements and realize you have to micro manage every single one of them, spending your own supplies doing so that ruined my fun.
I love how well this aged over the years and that no matter what you tell him he thinks you are a private who lost their armor cause he believes everything is an excuse
There is one thing you can tell him that will convince him it's not your fault... when you first meet him, you can tell him the base told you the power armor would be issued here, and he'll rant about paper shuffling jackasses at HQ instead of scolding you.
Fun fact if you talk to Dornan while wearing T-51B instead of APA or no PA at all, he continues to yell but not directly at the player. Instead venting about "paper-shuffling jackasses short changing me on supplies", before directing you to the armory in a raised tone. If you talk to the Quartermaster in T-51B as well, he says "No wonder you came here, need to upgrade from your tin-suit then?" And he lets you just snatch it from the armory lockers. This also fits what you see in the Oil Rig, the cadet barracks is full of T-51B wearing soldiers with weaker gear than the APA ones.
@@requiemagent3014 maybe if people stopped buying the poorly written games he’d actually give a damn and be forced to stop meanwhile he’s releasing Skyrim again and is about to implode everybody’s mod folder
when you think about it... soldiers loosing their APA must be common given that the Sgt took the time to memorize how long it would take for a privates salary to pay of for one
Or he is just a Hot damned genius, and a skilled shark attack lyricist, that he didnt even need to try. Hell i came up with a doozy a time or two myself so...sometimes you just got it.
@@Ja1sc3L113r I bet there is a calculator in those helmets, and this being -America- the enclave they probably have to disclose it on public record how much they cost
Maybe even more disturbing is the implication that Enclave Soldiers are only paid a little over 3 caps per month. A suit of advanced power armor is worth 20,000 caps, according to the wiki. 20,000 caps/500 years = 40 caps per year/12 = 3.33 caps per month.
I don’t know what’s funnier, the idea that Dornan did the mental arithmetic for the amount of years it’d take to pay off a suit, or the idea that he just has that already calculated on his desk or something and was itching for a moment to use it.
people say the enclave is evil, but when Dornan thinks you are a civilian....what does he do? just has you escorted off base without harm. That's nicer than if you are caught on a military base now or even prewar
Sergeant Dornan is unironically a true badass. He may be very strict and even aggressive at times, but deep down you know he takes his values very seriously and cares about his work.
Let me tell you guys, the first time I met this guy, my heart was thumping so hard because I thought I get discovered. And my last save was right inside this whole Enclave division. Turn out he's a good drill, tho I killed him afterward.
As someone who played Fallout 2 twice already, it felt like he wasn't speaking to the chosen one, It felt like he was speaking directly to me across the screen, screaming at me for not wearing power armor
A current us army E-2 private gets paid $2,000.70 a month (we'll round that to $2k) or in other words about $24,000 a year. We can therefore deduce, that a suit of power armor costs about $12,000,000 (24,000 x 500) which is substantially more that the cost of a US M1 Abrams at $8.92 million. This means that it is almost 3x cheaper to buy a brand new top of the line tank than it is to buy a suit of power armor. And for those fallout 4 fans who have a whole stash of like 16 power armor suits at red rocket, a US Navy frigate costs $870 million or in other words, about 73 suits of power armor.
Then just go to the closest tank factory, buy a brand new top of the line tank, and give it to the enclave. I'm sure they'll forgive you for "losing" the suit.
Player: ''Sir, I am only 20 years old'' Sergeant Arch Dornan: ''Oh, my mistake, you won't work here until you're 510 years old'' Player: ''Well I guess that's good'' Sergeant Arch Dornan: ''You will Instead be here until you are *530 YEARS OLD!''* Player: ''Well shit''
Wait, he assumes you "lost" your power armor? How the hell does he envision that happening? Whoops, I set this massive fusion-powered metal shell down on the table while I was making my morning toast, and then I was in a hurry so I ran out the door without realizing that I wasn't seven feet tall and encased in titanium.
This is a speech many youngins have had to listen to when they "lost" their rifles. Similar anyway. Truth is, they didnt actually lose them in the context of, put it down and it just vanished, like my friggin car keys, lighter, and occasionally my sanity... But in the context of...private left his rifle unattended. NCOs found it, and took it. Then made the poor bastards push until the Commander was tired... Or clean until their souls were sanitized... Or low crawl for so long, they actually started to believe theh were the sugar cookies they were being called... Among other things. So... The "lost" bit...does. ot surprise me at all.
(Failed) Dornan "you expect me to take bottle caps from your collection of useless crap!? And trying to bribe me with them?! Do I look like I'm some blind mo-ron like your sorry ass!? YOU WILL REMAIN IN THIS MANS ARMY, UNTIL YOU DROP DEAD, YOU CHEAP MAGGOT! NOW GO TO THE ARMORY AND DON'T LET ME CATCH YOU DOING THAT TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT!? DISMISSED!
I mean... "Many a deuce, have i dropped, that were greater, than the steaming pile of dog shit, you amount to currently private"....isnt too far off. I cracked a smile. Was getting roasted anyways. In another instance, I was told to drop and keep pushing til they came back. What seemed lke am eternity later, they came back and legit said they forgot i was there...and yes. I kept pushing. I paused a few times sure, but never dropped to my knees, and kept going to the best of my ability up until that point. So yeah...guess apocalypse was here 5 plus years ago. Either that, or i was just lucky enough to be blessed with an old salt.
@@Ja1sc3L113r That drill Sargeant is getting sued for harassment soon Welcome to the army, snowflakes slowly infesting it now. Most won't even survive conflict against a civilized nation
@@commisaryarreck3974 @Commisar Yarreck i hope not, both of those NCOs ended up being my favorite. Then again, hated the stress card idea when it was brought up. I felt it was better to be faced with high levels of stress, so that way i developed a means to cope with it. In my last counseling, i was told i didnt "embody the full soldier profile" The guy who with a hole in his main bronchus, still walked to the ER, and even argued with the wheelchair folks cause i had made it all but two steps from being inside and just wanted to walk the last two steps... Who did a Fitness Test Diagnostic, even though i had what at the time was classified as "Unknown Upper respiratory infection", and didnt just let myself get walked over. Also, i am glad i didnt tell anyone. Hopefully no one got butt hurt and reported them for being too mean... *sigh* It will probably happen anyway. I saw the recruitment videos of the US versus Russia, versus China. We are a laughing joke atm....
That's supposed to be the bad guys honestly America is dead in fallout do not look to the past look to the Future move on from one world to another beginning new culture new religion new enemies to start war on.
@@noahdean9685 I am fully aware they are the bad guys, personally I just find the faction as a whole to be cool, armor design is sick. Plus playing as the bad guys is cool sometimes.
Ik it would be wrong and all that since they're the bad guys, but c'mon game lemme have fun with the funny Sargeant and do sum shit. I'm hoping they remaster fallout 1 & 2, and give us some more options 🙏
well, he is not worse than otherdrills. if you want to hear them shout louder than jets just drop your rifle, their hearing is soo trained on that noise they can hear it from several miles.
So drill instructors are actually Oblivion guards, but instead of hive-mind sense random crime they hone in on the sound of dropped rifles? That is oddly terrifying.
@@joshuakim5240 *Drops rifle* *Drill sergeant materializes onto the range from behind, his eyes firmly locked into the offender.* "STOP RIGHT THERE, PRIVATE SCUM!"
Again, it’s amazing how he knows the exact amount of Pay a low-Level guard makes, and how much a suit cost, and does some maths on the spot and then works it into his rant
I'm late, but I feel like it's, somehow, not the first time someone lost a suit of power armor. Some private probably took it off to pee, thought "eh, no one will notice I'm gone if I just let it stand here for a while, right?" and returning later only to see it gone.
@@BoldTintI remember when my uncle told me about a time in Nam when a private and a commanding officer some how lost a jeep a few miles outside of the base. A encalve soldier losing his power armor because of a pee break would be accurate to real soldiers
Honestly the black outlines on his visor just makes him even scarier than he is normally and thats even funnier because you can really see the anger under the armor from it.
This reminds me of when I played the fallout SS13 server and made the mistake of picking NCR recruit. The military larping was so hard. I picked a nickname instead of a boring name, which was perfectly normal, but a guy called me a snowflake and made me do RP push ups for it lol. Pretty ironic because in fallout, many people have nicknames even civilians. It just shows that alot of people just wanna RP the US army in fallout.
It isn't his job to search for intruders. Not to mention a civilian sneaking into the compound is far less likely than a new recruit being sent, with all of the patrols. And let us not forget he talks about being out of uniform only after you have given a password to the guard at the gate and established yourself as a new recruit.
I think he's exaggerating about the price, but I don't doubt for a second that the market cost for that Power Armor must be through the goddamn roof if you're looking at pre-War money. Even if you're not accounting for the utterly insane inflation that the pre-War states went through.
En realidad no , digo a un soldado estadounidense le pagan 24.000 dólares al año Eso es nada comparado con lo que puede costar tecnología militar . Y bueno ya después de la guerra es prácticamente irremplazable
I wonder what the economy and market would be like for the Enclave at that time. Superior: "Here's your salary for this last year." Soldier: "Yay" Superior: "...oh, and we cut any and all valid commercial industry, so you will have little to no places to spend it." Soldier: "..." (Something like that, I guess)
Yea, but when they don’t find it, Special Agent Frank Horrigan will be called in to fill in for Dornan as he would have to go to the med bay due to him yelling so much.
Imagine how cool it would have been if the Vault Dweller left behind their T51B PA for the Arroyo tribe, and the Chosen One could obtain it by passing through a harder version of the tutorial area
