Description
In the episode Concrete Jungle Survival Skipper laughs at a classified file but forbids Private from reading it because of his low rank. Private then asks for a promotion, not because he wants a higher rank or anything, but because he wants to read the file and understand the joke because everyone else does, he clearly feels isolated or displaced by his teammates. This didn't happen just once either, Private is constantly being informed by others of previous stories or experiences as he wasn't there when they happened.

The saddest part is that at the end of the episode Private achieves the rank of First Class Private gaining the right to the classified file and even then... he doesn't understand the joke. Nobody explains it to him, nor Skipper, nor Kowalski, nor Rico, he went to hell and back to be part of the team and even when victorious nobody actually explained him the joke. It is unclear if this is because he didn't understand Kowalski's doodles, it was an "adult joke" or it simply wasn't funny for Private but in any case... sad.

Also, because of the comic I've done some research on penguins (?) and female penguins can only lay one egg every two years, having in mind the movie and how Rico, Kowalski and Skipper seemed really about the same age I'll be assuming they are not real brothers in canon either.
