Synopsis

Three recruits land in Navy boot camp in San Diego: Potter from Kansas, wealthy Benson (who has experience with yachts),and dirt-poor Dan. Kansas gets in trouble for not having his cover. Dan has color-vision problems. The company is sent on a training mission to Hawaii, though Dan is sent instead to the Medical Officer, apparently to be discharged, which plunges him into despair. But the Navy isn't quite done with Dan.
