Storyline

1989. The Berlin Wall is about to fall, and the world is about to be made safe for the new world order. But outside of Stuttgart, West Germany, at Theodore Roosevelt Army Base, Specialist Ray Elwood of the 317th Supply Battalion is about to find his own cold war turn white hot. Elwood's a lovable rogue, a conscript who's managed to turn his military servitude into a blossoming network of black market deals, more out of boredom than ambition. Officially, there's his day job as battalion secretary to the inept but caring Commander Wallace Berman. On the side, there's everything from selling the locals stolen Mop'N'Glo to cooking heroin for the base's ruthless head of Military Police, Sgt. Saad. When a new top sergeant arrives, with the avowed intention of cleaning the base up, Elwood thinks the new blood is nothing he can't handle, especially after he lays eyes on the top's daughter...

Quotes

Colonel Berman: Heroin, cocaine, marijuana, lysergic acid, deithyl... whatever the hell that is; amphetamines, traces of barbiturates, estrogen. Estrogen? McCovey was on the pill?... How could this be possible?
Ray Elwood: He might have taken it by mistake, sir.
Colonel Berman: What?
Ray Elwood: Birth control pill. He might've thought it was something ele.
Colonel Berman: Well, fine. But he didn't take heroin, speed and cocaine by mistake, did he?
Ray Elwood: It seems unlikely, sir.
