That phrase you always hear when the good guys are faced with imminent danger that requires there participation in the defense of a particular strategic location. Of course, the big

slumber would probably say it even if it WAS a drill.
Manly Sergeant: Everybody out! This is not a drill!
Everybody Else: **Frantically puts
on gear**
