The year is 1945 and Eugene Morris Jerome is far from home after being sent to basic training in Biloxi, Mississippi. Expecting the army to be dolls, doughnuts and USO dances, he instead encounters a tough drill sergeant and a platoon of often hostile recruits. Armed with only his sense of humor, Eugene is determined to leave camp with everything he came in with—except his virginity. © 1988 Universal Studios. All Rights Reserved.
