What is the full name of the person the company inspector threatens with Permanent Latrine Orderly?
Will Stockdale is a backwoods rube from Georgia, who is drafted into the United States Air Force. Other draftees being transported to basic training include the equally dim Ben Whitledge and an obnoxious bully Irving S. Blanchard. The unhappy Whitledge wants to be assigned to the infantry where his six brothers served.
At boot camp, Stockdale proceeds to make life miserable for the man in charge, Master Sergeant Orville C. King, who likes his barracks to be quiet and calm. In exasperation, the sergeant places Stockdale on full-time latrine duty. Stockdale believes his new position of "P.L.O." (Permanent Latrine Orderly) to be a promotion. A company inspection takes a surprising turn when Stockdale's immaculately clean latrine impresses King's company commander. King gets into hot water, however, when Stockdale reveals that the sergeant kept him on permanent bathroom duty while neglecting to have the recruit complete all the required military exams. The company commander orders King to help Stockdale through his training in one week, or else he will be demoted and made "P. L. O." himself.
Rushing him through testing, King bribes Stockdale by promising to give him his wristwatch if he can pass. Stockdale takes a manual dexterity test from Corporal John C. Brown, a psychiatric test from Maj. Royal B. Demming, and an eye exam, amazingly managing to get by after driving them all crazy. Stockdale gets the wristwatch as a reward.
