Part 1
Denied promotions at work, the girls resign and join the Army, expecting a new level of respect. The boot camp Sgt. is nice, but when assignments are given, they get Sgt. Alvinia Plout, a regular Army woman. Was joining the military a major mistake?
Part 2
The girls see the Army's not for them, and want out when assigned to a dangerous mission. The boys' idea to go AWOL makes no horse sense, so the girls decide on taking leave of their own senses. Will Alvinia believe their manias?
