Any one counted how many times the word *beep* was used?


Scriptwriters must have a fetish for it.

As I (22 yr. Naval Reserve) watched this with my Step-Dad, brother (4 yr. Army), husband (24 yr. AD Navy) over Christmas, I noticed the usage... had I only been with my husband, or a group of Sailors I probably wouldn't have. I mentioned that it was probably mild for the situation the crew was in. In many peacetime military settings stress can be an issue because of undermanning or underfunding - and 'salty language' is one way to let off the steam.
