I suspect they did that because at Dix a "warm" day was below freezing. The Commanding General also demanded that soldiers be allowed to eat dessert because he wanted us to have the calories in it to keep our energy levels high, and there was no problem with that.

Lighten up, Francis

I enlisted in the Army during my senior year of high school and left for basic training on June 16th. I was an M1A1 gunner (19K) and at the time the U.S. Army Armor center was at Ft. Knox where this was filmed. I got off the bus where they did. While standing at attention the weed (what our drill sergeants called us) next to me fainted and landed face first onto the pavement. Then we met our drill sergeants in the same room we did. I spent my first night in a one of those old white barracks. I ran the same obstacle course that John Candy goes off into the woods several times and when BM is trying to sneak away that was my tank motor pool. Basic and AIT was 16 weeks of fun for a kid like me. Like summer camp with weapons and really grumpy counselors. So many good memories. Now, all these years later I'm a licensed drone operator who's been accepted by the Ukrainians to come and teach new operators how to fly drones. Time to go make some more memories. Slava Ukraini! Update: The Ukrainian government isn't letting foreigners teach at the drone academies. So, I've applied to join the International Legion. My fingers are crossed. When I enlisted the USSR was always swinging their nuclear peckers around. I've always wanted to kill some Russians. God willing, I'll get my chance. I'll be sure to post a special message from Ukraine just for Colin, the BF2, CoD, I mean EOD puke.

I wouldn’t describe Stripes as being clean unless of course you watched it on TV where it was certainly much cleaner. But it is a great movie no debate there.

I love Elmo sitting behind Winger trying not to bust out laughing. .

Thanks, I was trying to remember his name. Judd didn't sound right.

I completely forgot that Night Court's Dan Fielding and Miami Vice's Zito was in this movie. And Stripes preceded both of those shows by three years.

Love this movie. It reminds me of my initial Indic in Fort Knox in the 70s. Same memories.

Interesting. I've heard Stephen Fry talk about how cockyness is a prominent component in American comedy, whereas English comedy is more likely to favor more underdog-ish embarrassment, that sort of thing.

Funny note, director Ivan Reitman didn't tell the cast that real Army barbers would do their haircuts so their reactions of disbelief are genuine. Because they were top billed, Murray and Ramis avoided being buzzed.

I'll never forget that first haircut the barbers had a lot of jokes they asked one recruit a black kid with a huge Afro how much hair he wanted to keep he answered "all of it" the barber took his time very carefully cut the Guy's hair when he was done he very carefully lifted the whole Afro off the recruit's head an d laid the whole head of hair in the recruit's lap he said he wanted to keep al his hair and he did. In the end his head was cleanly shorn it's a good memory.

I miss John Candy

I was in this very room for 19K OSUT basic training at Fort Knox, Kentucky in October of 1992, a little over 10 years after this filming. We'd just arrived by bus, from Louisville, at about 4 in the morning. This was the "what the hell have I gotten myself into?" moment.

This and Private Benjamin were classic army comedies I love to this day! 💙

I went to OSUT at Fort Knox in 1991 and it was crazy being in the same exact area that this movie was filmed at. The barber shop, the small PX shopette, and the phone booths were exactly the same.

I remember I had to get refitted for my dress uniform because I lost more weight then I wanted. I went from a 36 to a 34 almost a 32. The tailor said “You’re back.” I said yes ma’am, my body seems to think I need to loose more weight. We talked about it and we agreed to stop at 34.” I went in at 205 came out 189. (Started at, before boot, 230)

I went through Army basic at 35 years old.Its the best thing I ever did it reinvigorated with a can do attitude.It changed me for the better.

I was 12 when this movie came out. My dad was a Vietnam vet and wasn’t too keen on it. It was my favorite movie. 6 years later I joined the Army and went to basic training at Ft Knox, where stripes was filmed. Sat in that very room day one.

Timeless classic

With this cast, it had to be great.

I joined the Army at 24 and was called Grand Pa by the DS in 1990. The average age of these recruits look 30 to 35. 😮

@@W.Stryker I was a student at the time, 12th grade In 'Nam we have obligatory military training for everyone around 17-19yo. You know, just in case when you have to throw a few millions conscripts at a war, just like last time. Around 4 semesters of regular theory classes at high school/university, and 1-2 months of field training. I have broken my arm in an accident prior to that, so normally I am spared when we were out the field, but then I pissed off an instructor, so, well, that's bad.

Actually quite a few comedians in that room. What a great cast.

3:11 John Candy walking out with his shaved hair in his hands always slays me😂

And this comic platoon is still better than the entire Russian army...

Sgt. Hulka was easily respected, right off the bat. Yes, it's a comedy, but no way would I have disrespected Hulka, like Winger does.

I was among the last in the army to be issued that olive drab fatigues. After basic and infantry school at exotic Ft Benning, I went to Germany and soon had to buy the camouflage BDU’s, so we could go to the field and cover them up with olive drab chemical suits. Good memories.

I like the drill parade scene Army Training Sir!

Gen Barnecke he owes me money😂😂😂

I always found it interesting that the two principal actors didn't get a real military haircut, just a short one. I think a military haircut would have been too extreme and would have taken focus away from the comedy part of it.
