That's like the new sergeant, reading from the roll call list his corporal had  given him; he was going through, one by one, getting the chorus of "Here, Sir." as expected, one at a time, until he got tot he last name on the page, & he  repeated "Sibak?" getting angrier & angrier that one of his privates should not have showed up.

Finally his corporal came up to him, flipped the page for him, & the sarge was  able to finish roll call with hardly a titter in front of him. (they weren't  stupid, these new grunts)

Bonus topical punny because I can:

Drill Sergeant: I didnĘt see you at the camouflage drill today Soldier: Sir! Thank You, Sir!
