Sometimes we got our 1 cig but our DI was pissed and only gave it to us because the senoir told him to and make us smoke it by the whistle.

I've never smoked; nasty habit.

But I remember the drill:

All together:

"SIR, The smoking formation for platoon wun thousand and five is lit, for one cigarette, and one cigarette only SIR!"

Then the formation leader would say: "Light 'em up, privates!"

The group: "Aye, aye, private!"

After a few minutes the formation leader would bellow: "Take your last drag, privates!"

"Aye, aye, private!"

And they'd police up the butts and come back inside.
