Cool Bless you...

From: "Red Storm Rising", by: Tom Clancy, page 252

"Move your ass, Lieutenant!", the sargeant's voice rasped at him.
The lieutenant shook his head clear and ran to the sound of the sargeant's voice, one hand holding his helmet in place on his head.
"Lights coming down!", he gasped.
"No shit. Be cool sir. People, let's get spread out. Find some good cover and freeze. And make Goddamned sure those weapons are on SAFE! You stay with me, sir."
The two privates moved left and right into tall weeds, disappearing from view as soon as they stopped movng. Edwards lay next to Sargeant Smith.
"You think they saw me?"
The darkness prevented him from seeing the angry expression accompanying Smith's reply: "Prob'ly not. Don't freeze in the road like that again, sir."
"I won't. Sorry. Sarge, this isn't exactly my thing."
"Just listen and learn what we tell ya', okay?" Smith whispered. "We're Marines. We'll take good care of you."
