The vote is over! I vote "In the Army Now" with Pauly Shore. The actors who played Drill Sergeants were great.

In The Army Now

Pauly Shore is definitely not one of the few good men Army recruitment has in mind for molding into a soldier. But that doesn't stop pacifist Pauly from sign...

Stripes is on my short list (top three favorited movies). It is a great movie to watch when you are in a bad mood. Hard to be in bad mood after watching Stripes. When I was a young Sergeant/Section Leader, I had a dude who was a mess, and whenever I tried to counsel him, he would respond (in character) with a line from Stripes or Caddy Shack...

Kelly Heroes is also worth seeing...

I noticed there aren't very many comedies depicting the Marines. Does that mean not very many people find the Marines funny?

Growing up I saw this old B&W movie with Francis the talking Mule a male 2LT and unit full of females on maneuvers with an all female unit. Francis of course was pretty much leading the unit and of course they our fox the red force. Don't recall the movie, but it was funny in a 1940's kind of way.

But allot of people forget about Operation Petticoat, Or Francis goes to Burma, or Francis goes to West point, or Abbot and Costello join the Navy or Abbot and Costello in the Army.

Down periscope does it for me. How do you like our boat Marty? I feel I need a tetanus shot just from looking at it. The only thing holding it together are the bird droppings.
