on the bounce

A military term used by Robert A. Heinlein in his first-rate novel Starship Troopers, it is synonymous with the more commonly used phrases of on the ball and on your toes. In other terms, it means being in a state of readiness and awareness, and usually involves thinking one step ahead.
Sarge was really cracking down this week, so our squad had to be on the bounce 24/7.

Boone, IA

Boone, Ia is one of the most boring/cold/desolate places you will find. The biggest place in town is Walmart. All the teenagers hang outside kum&go or Mac Don's. There is absolutely nothing to do but drink, or do meth. Unless you are a fan of corn, I wouldn't recommend going there.
I went to Boone, Ia and realized why people don't go there.
