More Information
<p>Eugene Morris Jerome has joined the Army and is on his way to Biloxi for basic training. It is 1943….WWII is raging. Eugene and the other guys in the platoon want to make the most of it before they shove off. Drill Sergeant Merwin J. Toomey is in charge. Toomey’s job is to take this rag tag bunch and turn them into fighting men. This takes much longer than anyone thought. Finally a weekend pass… Most of the guys head for town, and the local brothel. Eugene feels he needs to experience actual sex for the first time, so he goes with them. He meets up with kindly Rowena… A married hooker with a heart who sells her body along with perfume and nylons on the side. Later at a USO dance, Eugene meets Daisy…a beautiful southern belle. She is sweet, Catholic and virginal… Eugene falls in love during their first dance. From Rowena to Daisy all in the same day…..his head is spinning. The other guys like Wykowski, Seldridge and Carney sling plenty of “bull” around the barracks. They spend their time drinking beer, fighting and in general being too loud and rowdy. Toomy finally flips out, gets piss drunk and pulls a loaded gun on Epstein. Arnold has a helluva time talking his way out of this situation…but he manages. Later when Eugene writes about Biloxi and these guys … He remembers them as the best damn friends a guy could have.</p>
