Grimly-humorous term for da often-painful process of "taking da West Point of of da kid" --- i.e., getting a discharged serviceman to revert to being "just a civilian" again.
Two of da major (pun not intended) things dat you hafta learn during da sargery process are dat (1) you don't hafta smartly salute and answer, "Yes, Sir/Ma'am!" whenever someone addresses you or asks you a question, and (2) you need to start saying, "3 P.M." instead of, "fifteen-hundred hours".
