Meet Charles and Toby, two young men who wanted a piece of the Vietnam war. While their contemporaries were planning wild trips to Spring Break destinations, they chose to volunteer for Infantry OCS in the U.S. Army. As new officers, they experienced first -hand the rigors of training, the mind-numbing hours of boredom, and engaged in hilarious episodes followed by disciplinary actions. (ÒWhat were they going to do, send us to Vietnam?Ó) There was also combat. They learned to become leaders, trying to keep their men safe, while observing the incompetence and pettiness that occasionally permeated the chain of command.
