John Winger (Bill Murray) is a cab driver in New York City who, in the span of a few hours, loses his job, his apartment, his car, and his girlfriend, Anita. Realizing that he is a 30 year old loser with no prospects, he decides to join the Army. He talks his best friend Russell Ziskey (Harold Ramis), a teacher of English as a second language, into joining him, and they go to a recruiting office and are soon sent off to basic training.
Upon arriving at Fort Arnold, they meet their fellow recruits, and their drill sergeant, Sergeant Hulka (Warren Oates). Moments after arriving, John angers Sergeant Hulka and is ordered out to do push-ups. He stands out as a slacker throughout basic training. John and Russell make friends with a platoon who are a bunch of misfits. Their commanding officer is the arrogant and incompetent Captain Stillman (John Larroquette). As basic training progresses, Russell and John become romantically linked to female MPs Louise Cooper and Stella Hansen. Not long before graduation, Hulka is injured when Stillman, trying to impress a visiting colonel, orders a mortar crew to fire without setting target coordinates.
