for a long time.

Now, the first

step, naturally,

is to unroll the mattress.

Then you take your first sheet

and you spread it out

evenly over the bed.

I don't want to make my bed,

I want to lie in it.

Sergeant:
Pay attention, you

two, this is important.

Now listen and watch

what the corporal does.

You'll notice he spreads

the first sheet

over the mattress

so he has an equal

distance at both ends.

You smooth the sheet and

tuck it under the mattress.

The second sheet

you spread out

to within 6 inches from

the head of the bed.

Then you smooth it

over the first sheet,

and tuck this under the mattress

at the foot of the bed.

Be careful there are no wrinkles

or no holes in the sheet.

Now, your first blanket

should be spread to cover

approximately 2/3 of your bed

from the head to the foot.

You smooth it and take

the second blanket,

double and cover the

remaining space of the bed.

The bed should be made

neat, tidy, and fast.

Then you tuck in the

corners of the bedding

and let it drop back,

that's all there is to it.

Cinch.

Sergeant:
All right,

men, get to work.

[Stretch]

Well, good night, men!

First man:
Good night.

Second man:
Get

him out of there!

[Men shout and laugh]

Ohh, what a day.

I feel as if I've been

in the army

a lot more than one day.

You know, fellas,

I've been making

a little investigation.

That doctor, the one that

gave us all the shots?

Just like I thought...

he's also in charge

of bayonet practice!

Ha ha ha!

I couldn't lift my arm

even if it was time to eat.

Say, I got a little

preparation here.

Out west, it's used

for snake bite,

guaranteed to take out

the sting and soreness,

and the beauty of it is,

you don't have to pay a

cent unless it works.

If it brings you quick relief,

you just look up old Mulvehill

first payday, and I guaran...

Sergeant:
Hey, you inside!

Lights out... 3 minutes.

Snap into it and get to bed.

[Grunts]

Say, if anybody needs any

sleeping pills, I happen...

Regimentation. Do

this, do that.

You'd think they'd want

us to preserve

our individual personalities.

You better wrap that

individual personality

and check it for the duration.

The army doesn't want any.

You know, we start

drill tomorrow.

Don't you know some

sweeter bedtime story?!

Well, I got an angle.

You know, there's a

few departments here

we might be interested in.

Special services,

public relations.

And I figure if we could swindle

ourselves some kind of a deal...

look. Mulvehill, as a

swindler, you're on your own.

I got a good look at

that guardhouse today,

and it made this barracks look

like the Waldorf-Astoria.

Oh, all right.

If you want to spend

the rest of your life
