You are following your Sergeant out of the hatch of a submarine, a well equipped Raider about to attack a Japanese held Island and your assigned weapon is a Boys Rifle - poorly named as you have to be a real man to carry a Boys Rifle......
Than in the course of the raid you use your Boys Rifle to initiate an attack. You personally destroy an enemy troop carrying truck that allows your team mates to gun down the Troops destroying most of the Japanese soldiers on the island.
After that you and your Boys Rifle likely take down a Japanese Seaplane attempting to land and deploy reinforcing troops to the island.
As your small group begins to have "hard times" your efforts to return to the submarine result in your buddy getting eaten by a shark and you lose all your weapons and clothes...
Do you despair?
No you make it back to the sub wearing your enemies underwear and carrying his weapons whilst maintaining the same shit eating grin you left the sub with.....
Fucking Hard Corps! No cry babies allowed mother fucker!
