At War with the Army Page #3

That woman! She's so rank-

conscience.

How soon will you be ready to leave?

Why don't you go to the club and

wait. I have a lot of papers to sign.

-Can't someone else sign those?

- I'm the only one.

The United States Army has high

regard for my signature.

I wish The First National Bank did.

Where'd you get these clothes

Sergeant?

- Quarter master sir.

- Why didn't you get a shipping ticket

when you got these clothes?

I don't know sir. Maybe they weren't

paying attention when I drew the issue?

Then this is stolen goods.

No sir.

I think I'll have to have a look at

army regulations.

But Lt. Davenport, don't you trust me?

This is no way to run a business.

Carry on.

He's going to tell me how to run a

business.

He used to be a soda-jerk. He just

ran out of soda.

- I got to see the First Sergeant.

- Hi ya kid. I see you're still wearing your old hat.

You leave me alone. I got troubles.

In the army? You got troubles?

Yeah, and I gotta see the First

Sergeant right away! It's important.

Take it easy...

Don't tell me how to take it. I got to

get a three-day pass.

Last guy in the army that got a

three-day pass, was Sergeant York.

Yeah, well I don't care. I got to see

my wife. It's an emergency.

I've had emergencies, but could I

get a pass?

Bet you were never having a baby.

Kid, I've never even

had my appendics out.

- Corwin!

-Yes sir.

- Did you do those penalty tours?

-Yes Corporal.

- Did you report to the drill

Sergeant? - Yes Corporal.

- Did you report to the mess

Sergeant? - Yes Corporal.

Okay.

Boy, if I ever get overseas, the first

thing I'm gonna do is surrender.

Concentration camps have got to

be better than this.

What crumby coffee. Why I

wouldn't wash my......

Hey! It's here, the shipping order.

-Came while you were out.

-Now watch me get out of this hole.

- Hey Serg, I wanna....

- What do you want?

- Nothing. I just thought that maybe I....

- Get out of my way. Can't you see I'm busy?

Captain Caldwell, I've just seen the shipping

orders and I have just the man for you sir.

Good. Who is he?

Me! First Sergeant Victor

Puccinelli.

Don't be foolish Sergeant.

This call is only for Privates and PFC's. You'd

better make up your mind, you're staying here.

- I've seen.....

- I won't argue that point.

Now, about this shipment. We can't

be expected to cripple ourselves, so.....

....don't send anyone who is useful.

How about that kid that never

doesn anything right?

- You mean Corwin?

- That's the one.

He's right out here now sir.

Maybe Eisenhower can do

something with him.

Yes sir.

Corwin!

- I want to see you.

- I've been wanting to see you too Vic.
