* CharacterDevelopment: Jack begins the story unable to pay attention and, by his own admission, painfully aware of it. Towards the end, Jack demonstrats to his mom he's able to tell the story about his day in great detail, as opposed to [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny losing interest in it]]. This is an indication how Rusty's titular game was a good experience for Jack to bring out the best in him.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In his narration, Jack's characterization is summed up in the span of half a minute. During his drive to his new school, he's demonstrated to be very fidgety, having forgotten his hat, and [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny have a rather short attention span]]. And when his sister wonders why he can't simply do as he's told, his haunted "I don't know" shows he also has a sober understanding he's not like other kids.

* ChopperOnStandby: Rusty's favorite part of playing army is calling for "dust-offs" (casualty evacuations), [[RuleOfDrama and then imagining]] that the chopper can't land and he and Jack will have to run to it. The prop they use to represent a helicopter is a peaceful treehouse nearby, in which the boys rest while admiring the scenery.

* SecretTest: Rusty asks Jack if he can follow orders, and Jack is in the middle of saying no when Rusty barks out commands, which a startled Jack [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre follows perfectly]]. Rusty concludes Jack's ready to be a soldier.
* ThroughHisStomach: Two platonic examples.
** Rusty's dad, who is a real soldier, brings back condensed milk [[note]]a very sweet condiment provided to soldiers to keep their energy levels up[[/note]] from his ration kit to give to Rusty.
** In turn, Rusty gives Jack the condensed milk his father gave him, showing how much he values his new friend.

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Played realistically. Jack has a very short attention span and an inability to either sit still or remember things. He thinks that it's because there's "something wrong with [him]" that he's unable to do as he's told. With Rusty's help, Jack learns to push himself to the limit and focus when needs be, to the point he's able to tell his mom this entire story without getting side-tracked.
