Get Some

Get some is the first episode of HBO's miniseries Generation Kill

Synopsis
In the northern desert of Kuwait, the elite, specially trained U.S. First Recon Marines prepare to invade Iraq as the "tip of the spear" for Operation Iraqi Freedom. Meet the battle-hungry USMC 1st Recon Battalion as they deal with the mundane issues of grooming standards, sand storms, a by-the-book CO and a lot of waiting. A variety of creative racist, homophobic and sexist slurs along with pizza relieve the tension. At the Camp Mathilda staging ground, Marines in First Recon's Bravo Company combat boredom, cramped tents, shortages of necessary supplies and armor, mustache protocol, officer ineptitude, a wind storm, an espresso machine fire and rumors of J-Lo's death while awaiting orders from Col. Stephen "Godfather" Ferrando, the raspy-throated Commander of First Recon. They also welcome a writer ("Scribe") from Rolling Stone magazine, who'll be embedded with Bravo's five-vehicle Platoon 2 unit, riding in a Humvee with Team Leader Brad "Iceman" Colbert, driver Ray Person and LCpl. James Trombley. After an unexpected and portentous mass delivery of pizza, the soldiers finally break camp, pack up their Humvees and cross the northern border into Iraq -- and into an uncertain future.

Trivia
The scenes of Iraqis surrendering and being turned away was filmed near Walvis Bay airport, and filming was constantly delayed due to interference from planes departing or arriving. The train track location was also much busier than the filmmakers had been led to believe.
