Yeah, the 4-5 Quonset huts that I moved through in 1970 (I lost count). I remember the DI quietly pronouncing “platoon 1034 on the road” in a conversational tone and everyone in the huts was supposed to hear that from their bunks and begin scrambling into formation. Not responding would get exactly the reaction shown on the video.

The quonsets we lived in at ITR on Pendleton were later used to house the Vietnamese refugees in 75. All of the quonsets and concrete washracks dated from the 20s and 30s and were used by almost 50 years of recruits.
