* DrillSergeantNasty: Averted with Sergeant Loyce. Despite having to be mean like any drill sergeant, he takes a liking to Washington. Loyce looks him in the eye and even removes his hat to speak man to man with him. He also helps Washington when racist recruits harass him. The fact that Loyce is played by Creator/RLeeErmey will surprise fans of that [[Film/FullMetalJacket other]] Vietnam War movie with a famous drill sergeant.

Notable for featuring Creator/RLeeErmey in his first screen role as (what else?) a drill instructor.
