Mum!
Dad!
Bingo!
Bluey!
Mum!
Hey, Jack!
How was your first day at your new school?
Good.
Tell me all about it.
Well, we drove there in the car
and I couldn't sit still, as usual.
Come on, Jack. Can you sit still, mate?
Yes, Dad.
Did you remember your hat?
Um, my hat. Where's my hat?
Ooh, look, a goat!
Jack, your hat?
I forgot it.
Oh Jack, what are we going to do with you, mate?
Dad, Jack's still not sitting still!
Jack!
Sorry, I forgot.
Why can't you do as you're told?
I don't know.
Then we got to school
and I met my teacher, Calypso.
Well, hello.
You must be my new student.
I'm Jack.
Jack can't sit still or remember anything.
Well, I think you should go
and play with that red Kelpie down there.
Okay, bye Dad!
You have fun, mate!
I will!
And that's when I met Rusty.
What are you playing?
I'm playing army. I'm about to go on patrol.
Can I be in the army?
Well maybe.
Can you do as you're told?
No. I'm not good at doing what I'm...
Attention!
Ah!
On the left! Quick march!
Hup-hup-hup halt! On the right!
March! Hup-hup-hup halt! Salute!
Ah!
Yeah, you can play.
This episode of Bluey is called
Army.
You can't just start as a soldier.
You have to go to basic training,
well, you learn all the stuff from your Drill Sergeant.
That's me.
Oh, okay.
Where's your hat, Recruit Russell?
I forgot it, Sergeant.
You can use my spare.
But from now, keep track of your equipment.
Yes, Sergeant.
Hup!
Hup!
Rusty took me into the bush
to learn all the army stuff.
The first thing I had to learn was heaps of hand signals.
Stop!
This one means 'stop. '
This one means 'get down! '
This is 'move over there.'
Ha!
I'll get it!
Now Rusty and I can talk to each other without talking.
An important part
of the army stuff is doing push-ups.
Good push-ups, Recruit Russell.
Also, everything had a name.
Okay, that hill is called Hill Four.
That one is called Hill Six.
That blue gum is called Tango Seven. You got that?
Oh Sarge,
I'm not good at remembering numbers or words.
Well you better get good
if you want to be in the army, Recruit Russell.
You need to know these things if we call for a dust-off.
A dust-off?
A dust-off is when you call in a helicopter
to come and rescue you.
You have to tell the chopper where to land.
Rusty loved calling for a dust-off.
But the funnest bit was the sentry duty.
It's when you're a guard.
You have to be on the lookout
when the other soldiers sleep.
I loved it.
All the other soldiers are counting on you.
I was really good at sentry.
You're really good at sentry.
Thanks, Sarge.
Have some rations, Recruit Russell.
Rations is what they call food in the army.
How do you know so much about the army?
Cos my Dad's in the army.
Is he on patrol like us?
Yeah, but not for long.
Oh, that's good.
He said when he comes back,
he's going to bring me some condensed milk.
Ahh, I love condensed milk!
Then the scariest bit happened.
Contact!
What do we do?
Fall back!
Get down!
There's too many of them!
We have to call for a dust-off!
I told you he loved dust-offs.
Six-one, this is six-two! We are surrounded!
Request immediate dust-off.
Stand by for location, over!
Recruit Russell, what's our location?
It was all down to me.
I had to remember what that tree was called.
Tango five?
No, tango six?
Tango seven!
We're next to tango seven, over!
Great work, Recruit Russell.
Oh no!
Negatives on the dust-off, tango seven.
LZ is no good!
I think he was saying
the chopper had to land somewhere different.
Recruit Russell, we've got to get to that field!
How?
Run!
One thing I can do is run.
I'm a Jack Russell!
Whoa!
Get to the chopper!
Okay!
Good thing we did
all those push-ups!
We made it!
Great work, Recruit Russell!
I can see why Rusty
liked calling for dust-offs.
Why did you come to this school?
Was there something wrong with your old school?
No. There's something wrong with me.
I'm not good at doing what I'm told,
I can't sit still
and I can't remember anything,
like numbers or letters or my hat.
Well you're really good at playing army.
We're back from patrol, Calypso.
You're all safe.
Good boy, Rusty.
Congratulations, Recruit Russell.
You're not Private Russell.
I was in the army.
Come on, you can sit next to me.
And then it was pick-up time.
See you tomorrow, Rusty.
And now I'm here.
Wow, that was a lot of detail.
Yeah!
Good boy, Jack.
Oh, can I have my condensed milk now?
Where'd you get condensed milk from?
Rusty gave it to me.
See you, Jack!
Hey! Rusty!
His Dad brought it back from patrol.
