Hard-nosed Marine Sgt. Sledge is riding everyone about procedures and how to properly salute with a weapon in hand. This is creating frustration (and fantasies) on the base. This is the loose framework that forms Live By the Sword. It features Marines and sailors in dress uniforms and civvies. This will please the uniform fetishists. It opens with a Marine staring at Sledge and imagining them both naked and whacking off.

The next scene between three jarheads complaining about the sergeant is just a routine threeway pairing that never moves into the nearby shower stall. The next offering is a sleeping Marine who gets sucked off by Jake, who also impales himself on this deep sleeper. The action is nice, but unbelievably one-sided. Cody Davidson and Austin Brooks build more heat as they maneuver with each other in a hotel room away from base. Finally, The heat gets turned on high as senior Naval officer Walt Walter orders lowly sailor Jake Cannon to please Sledge and himself.
