Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is Lt. Col. Meechum's nickname?

Answer: Bull

Bull uses the term Grit for any southerner. Tex is a common nickname in the military. Top is what you would call a Master Sergeant.
2. What song did the Lt. Col. refuse to sing with his family?

Answer: Dixie

Of course he wouldn't sing a "losers" song. Bull is actually a very good singer, with a beautiful voice (when he wants it to be).
3. What does Ben get for his 18th birthday?

Answer: All of the above

Bull woke him up very early to give him the jacket and tell him about the day that he was born. He reads the letter about being a man, at school. It seems to be an "Old Corps" tradition to get your son drunk for the first time.
4. What is the squadron's mascot?

Answer: Werewolves

He did fly with the Tigers in China and the Cobras in Korea. He was part of Boyington's Black Sheep Squadron between wars. This extra information is actually in the book.
5. What name does Toomer call his horse?

Answer: Manowar

Ben replys that, "This here is Rin Tin Tin, star of stage, screen, and TV.". He was referring to his scraggly looking dog.
6. They expect to be in combat soon, what international conflict is heating up during the movie.

Answer: Cuba

Bull was looking forward to chasing Castro down the streets of Havanna in his plane.
7. What does Bull say about Anabelle Smalls?

Answer: "She's my kind of woman."

An amazing statement from him, considering that he's very racist and sexist.
8. What branch of military service is the movie set?

Answer: Marine Corps

Interesting tidbit here, there is nothing louder than a theater full of Marines when the National Anthem starts playing, NOTHING!
9. What is Bull's real first name?

Answer: Wilbur

Verne is his buddy, Matt is his youngest son, and Jerry is my father (MSGT.,USMC.,RET.)
10. What do his hogs actually eat?

Answer: Soup

It was a can of cream of mushroon soup. In the book it was half soup and half creamed corn. And yes that IS the Marine Corps legend, but it's still gross.
