When the club is raided by MPs and police, Stella and Louise cover for John and Russell. The men go to a mud wrestling bar, where John convinces Dewey “Ox” Oxberger to wrestle a group of women. Hulka is injured when Stillman, trying to impress a visiting colonel, orders a mortar crew to fire without setting target coordinates. As basic training progresses, Russell and John become romantically linked to female MPs Louise Cooper and Stella Hansen. Their commanding officer is the arrogant and incompetent Captain Stillman. He stands out as a slacker throughout the rest of basic training. Upon arriving at Fort Arnold, they meet their fellow recruits, and their drill sergeant, Sergeant Hulka. Talking his best friend Russell Ziskey (a teacher of English as a second language) into joining with him, they go to a recruiting office and are soon sent off to basic training.

Their entire platoon is in jeopardy of not graduating. Two of their saving graces are Stella and Louise, two MPs who get them out of one scrape after another. However, it is still John that is constantly butting heads with their drill sergeant, Sergeant Hulka. In basic training, they are only two of a bunch of misfits that comprise their platoon. At the end of a very bad day when he realizes his life has gone and is going nowhere, John Winger is able to convince his best friend, Russell Ziskey, whose life is not much better, to enlist in the army, despite they not being obvious soldier material.
