"GUMP!! Why did you put that weapon together so quickly Gump?
"...You told me to, Drill Sargent."
"Jesus H. Christ. This is a new company record (looking at stop watch).If it wouldn't be a waste of such a damn fine enlisted man, I'd recommended you for O.C.S., Private Gump. You are gonna be a General some day, Gump! Now, disassemble your weapon and continue!

Drill Sergeant: Gump! What's your sole purpose in this army?
Forrest Gump: To do whatever you tell me, drill sergeant!
Drill Sergeant: God damn it, Gump! You're a god damn genius! This is the most outstanding answer I have ever heard. You must have a goddamn I.Q. of 160. You are goddamn gifted, Private Gump.

Because a recruiter signed him up at his graduation.  You don't automatically become an officer just because you have a degree.  I know lots of degreed enlisted guys.

I understand that. Just one of those things I've wondered about. During his trip to DC he has the rank of Sergeant on his uniform, but the guy that gives him his discharge papers calls him Pvt Gump.

I watched it, once.  I thought it was one of the stupidest movies of all time.  I like a lot of oddball movies too, and most of Tom Hanks work, but for some reason that movie is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
