Yes. Infantry drills, too, with call and response:

their jobs, in a steel fabrication factory where the heroine, a musician
(played by Bjork), operates a punch press.

Well, my sledge hammer is smaller than Kevin's. ;-) But you should've
seen me de-framing antique windows with a pry bar, when I owned the stained
glass studio.
