If I understood you correctly, it's these 8 masks:
[*!][Ff]irstword11334[*!][Ss]econdword11334
[*!][Ff]irstword11334[*!][Ss]econdword43311
[*!][Ff]irstword43311[*!][Ss]econdword11334
[*!][Ff]irstword43311[*!][Ss]econdword43311
[*!][Ss]econdword11334[*!][Ff]irstword11334
[*!][Ss]econdword11334[*!][Ff]irstword43311
[*!][Ss]econdword43311[*!][Ff]irstword11334
[*!][Ss]econdword43311[*!][Ff]irstword43311
To use them with JtR, you can use this lengthy command-line in bash:
while read mask; do ./john --mask="$mask" passwd; done < masks.txt
or you can do the 8 invocations of JtR manually, substituting the
different masks in there (if so, use single quotes around the masks to
prevent the shell's processing of special characters in there).
You can also choose to optimize for fewer masks, given that the number
of different candidate passwords to test is low anyway (let the computer
waste some time, instead of wasting your own time):
./john --mask='[*!][Ff]irstword[14][13]3[31][41][*!][Ss]econdword[14][13]3[31][41]' passwd
./john --mask='[*!][Ss]econdword[14][13]3[31][41][*!][Ff]irstword[14][13]3[31][41]' passwd
This will test a total of 8192 candidate passwords instead of only 128,
but either is a low number for a computer.
