-[Music stops] -[All] Bluey!
Mom!
Hey, Chuck, ooh!
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. -[Goat bleats]
-Jack, your hat? -I forgot it.
Uh, Jack, what are we gonna do with you, mate?
Dad, Jack's still not sitting still.
-Jack. -Sorry. I forgot.
Why can't you do what 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 students. -I'm Jack.
Jack can't sit still or remember anything.
[Growls]
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 no good at doing...
-Attention! -Hut!
-On the left! -Hut!
Quick, march.
Hut, hut, hut! Hold!
On the right! March!
Hut, hut, hut! Hold!
-Salute! -Huh!
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,
where you learn all this 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 on keep track of your equipment.
Yes, Sergeant.
-Hut! -Hut!
[Both laughing]
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 means "get down."
This is "move over there."
♪♪
Hut!
I'll get it!
Hmm?
Now Rusty and I can talk to each other without talking.
An important part of the army stuff is doing pushups.
Good pushups, 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? -Aw, Sarge...
I'm not good at remembering numbers or words.
Well, you better get good
if you wanna be in the army, Recruit Russell.
You need to know these things if we call for a dustoff.
A dustoff?
A dustoff 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 dustoff.
[Grunting]
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?
'Cause my dad's in the army.
Is he on patrol like us?
Yeah, but not for long.
Well, that's good.
Except when he comes back,
he's gotta bring me some condensed milk.
Ah! I love condensed milk.
Then the scariest bit happens.

-Contact! -What do we do?
Fall back!
[Both screaming]
Get down!
-Aah! -Ooh!
There's too many of them!
We have to call for a dustoff.
I told you he loved dustoffs.
Six One, this is Six Two. We are surrounded.
Request immediate dustoff.
Stand by for location. Over.
Recruit Russell, what's our location.
It was all down to me.
I had to remember what that trail 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 dustoff, Tango Seven.
Owl's Head 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 pushups.
We made it!
Great work, Recruit Russell!

I can see why Rusty liked calling for dustoffs.
Why did you come to this school?
Was there something wrong with your old school?
No. There's something going on 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.
Oh.
♪♪
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 now Private Russell.
I was in the Army.
Come on. You can sit next to me.
And then it was pickup time.
See ya 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.
