** Foley pushing for Zack to drop out all through the TrainingFromHell is brutal, but tellingly he relents and backs off the second Zack admits he has nowhere to go, and even seems a little amused by the intervention from Zack's friends.

This is wrong, watch the movie. Foley did not initiate the salute to Seegar until she was standing directly in front of him and he'd put away the coin she'


* When all of the newly commissioned naval ensigns are lining up to get their first salute from their former Sergeant Instructor, and Foley's salute of Seegar begins before she's even on the platform in front of him, acknowledging the fact that he's proud that she made it when no one thought she could.
** That whole scene deserves some further elaboration: it is naval tradition for new ensigns to give a silver dollar to their drill instructor for their first salute, and also a tradition for that drill instructor, when given a silver dollar from someone they felt was an exceptional cadet, to place that dollar in their right pocket instead of their left. Mayo's silver goes into Foley's right pocket.

* Near the end of his TrainingFromHell, Zack is forced to do some exercises with Foley near the ocean. After the instructor finally begins to let up, Paula, Syd, and Lynette drive past past the spot on their boat, mooning Foley and shouting words of encouragement to Zack.
