Boot Camp Buddies - Recap

🎖️ Boot Camp Buddies – Recap

The final march... and a whole lot of heart!

It’s the last day at Camp Follow-You, and Chester Romeo Hunkalunk is up at the crack of dawn—shouting commands, waking the troops, and declaring he’s ready to be a forever bootcamper! In this laugh-out-loud yet deeply touching finale, the recruits look back on everything they’ve learned: love, trust, prayer, and obedience—and how each one brings them closer to serving the General with all their hearts.

There’s marching, singing, fried egg sandwiches, and a whole lot of Goose Feathers wisdom.

Michaels, Adams, Sarge, and Lieutenant come running onto stage, pulling on shirts as though they just got out of bed.

Lieutenant: What in tarnation is all the caterwallerin’ out here?
Sarge: Sounds like 7,000 hyenas chased by 8,000 coyotes!
Adams: Look, it’s just Hunkalunk, all by himself!
Michaels: Could that be?... Could one guy make that much noise?
Sarge: Hunkalunk, what are you doing?
Hunkalunk: Oh, morning there Sarge, Lieuie, secret people...
Sarge: How dare you do all that screamin’ and wake me up at this hour?
Hunkalunk (proudly): I been practicin’ to be a sarge just like you, Sarge!
Sarge: You practicing to be what?
Hunkalunk: Well, fact is, Sarge, I had so much fun here at Camp Follow-You that I figure to become a forever bootcamper!
Sarge: A forever bootcamper?
Lieutenant: Wow Hunkalunk, for sure the General will be some happy to hear that!
Hunkalunk: Well, like, forever I’ve been hearin’ how great it is to be in the General’s army, to come to bootcamp, learn more about what servin’ the General is all about...
But see, until I came here to Camp Follow-You, that was all just, like, words...
But watchin’ the Sarge and how much he shows respect and love for all the guys here, and how much the guys love and respect him right back...
well, it’s just... I want what you got, Sarge!
Lieutenant (rubs a tear from his eye): That’s just flat out pretty, is what that is, Hunkalunk! And Sarge, must make a lump in your throat too, is my guess.
Sarge: Fact is, it does do, Lieutenant.
Hunkalunk: Well I was just thinkin’... all that us guys has learned here at Camp Follow-You!
Adams: For a fact it is somethin’ all right, Hunkalunk!
Michaels: I remember the first day at Camp Follow-You...
Learning about “love.”

All march and sing:

We’ll follow the Gen-ral wherever he wants to go
He is the one we know, fit to defeat the foe
We’re here at this boot camp, learning more ev’ry day
Learning His love, and learning to work and play.

Here at this boot camp, fun boot camp
A camp where we find the way we ought to live.

And we’re so proud to serve the greatest of them all
For the Gen-er-al’s there whenever we need call!

Hunkalunk: That right there is why I want to be a lifetime bootcamper, be just like you, Sarge!
Sarge: Makes me proud to be a part of your bootcamp experience here at Camp Follow-You, for sure.
