The first source is primary to the sentence that cites it, and the second one doesn't even mention whatever this is. Just because it was used in Full Metal Jacket doesn't notabilize it. Koridas (...Puerto Rico for statehood!) 17:48, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - Does not meet WP:GNG. There's an entry in Wiktionary, which is all we need.-- Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 19:20, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:GNG its just a name for a form of hazing/discipline. Mztourist (talk) 04:52, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep/merge per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE. As there are a variety of possible targets – basic training, bullying, peer pressure – I reckon it's simplest to leave it as is for improvement per WP:IMPERFECT. Andrew🐉(talk) 09:36, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * keep Searching gives lots of hits, most of them describing the practice. Two relevant federal sources are this and this, the first of which describes the practice. Both predate the movie, and I found another mention stating the practice occurred as far back as WW II. The article is never going to be much longer than this, but other than the sourcing I see no issues with it and its notability is inarguable from the sources I see.
