A unit of 30-40 soldiers, usually commanded by a lieutenant asisted by an NCO. A platoon is formed by at least two sections or squads (usually 3 or 4) and is smaller than a company.

A platoon is the smallest military unit led by a commissioned officer

Get the platoon mug.the most knowledgeable part of a NAVY S.E.A.L.s career the moment he returns from his first deployment when he now knows everything about being a S.E.A.L. and needs zero fucking guidance from anybody at all regardless of their rank or experience level.
Thank god we got so many fucking one platoon wonders. telling us what we do. it is just impossible to think how we ever fought the war without them. Lets all grow beards never cut our hair and tell the C.O. to go fuck himself. It must be the right thing to do I mean thats what the one platoon wonders want.

Get the One platoon wonder mug.The hottest ocean party that happens each summer off the coast of Westbrook, Connecticut at Duck Island. Absolute craziness, hundreds of boats raft up to each other and the girls are sexy. If you aren't there, you're missing out. Basically, it's just a reason for everybody to get hammered.
