Dobie and Maynard are about to complete basic training. And the faster they get it all done --and successfully -- they can move on! It's also open to family, so Dobie invites his folks, and Herb is especially excited as he wants to compare his old Army basic training techniques with Dobies.
NOT a good idea. After carefully watching the guys go through the motions, Herb complains they're doing it all wrong. First of all, everybody should be afraid of their commanding officers --NO friends allowed. They should also work their tails off and
the food they eat should be not fit for man nor beast! In other words, NO MORE FUN.
Accordingly, by special arrangement, Herb volunteers to be a temp basic training commander and puts Dobie and Maynard through the REAL program. It's especially tough for Maynard.... however comes the traning exercise to jump out of a plane! Herb is invited to jump himself? Watch Herb SCREAM!!!
Hilarious stuff written by Ben Nye, who wrote 16 episodes. Good supporting cast with popular character actors Nesdon Booth as Sgt. Clum and Jack Grinnage as Lt. Meriwether.
Also a touch of the BOWERY BOYS at work here, which makes it all click. SEASON 2 EPISODE 36.
