The Importance of a Belt

A-ten-hut! You are now one of us. And that means that you follow our rules! Let's see, your haircut is okay and you look clean enough. Now let's look at the most important part - your uniform.

This won't do at all! Your hat's askew, and I can't even see my reflection in your boots. What a mess! And what is that belt you're wearing?! Where did you get that thing?

The belt is one of the most important parts of a soldiers uniform! You are ordered to find a suitable replacement for that thing you're wearing immediately.

The best belts are made from the skins of the snakes that live right outside our barracks. Go bring me a bunch and I'll help you fix your uniform. Now go to it and no back talk!

What are you, afraid of snakes? You would do better to be afraid of me - I can be quite merciless when I'm angry!

Give them here, let me count them. One, two... uh, looks like they're all here! I know how to count. They don't promote dimwits around here you know. Here's your new belt. Put it on. Now you're a true soldier!
