In the years before Joe Besser became the Stooge who replaced Shemp Howard, Joe worked for Columbia making short comedies. At least half of these shorts were remakes of previous Columbia short comedies. A few are even remakes of films Besser made for the studio!! In the case of "Army Daze", Columbia remade a Three Stooges film "Boobs in Arms" as "Aim, Fire, Scoot" as a solo film for Besser and then remade it with Besser just a few years later! So, you have a remake of a remake of a remake...and it's the poorest of the three mostly because much of this film is actually taken directly from "Aim, Fire, Scoot"...and I mean they didn't reshoot it...they just reused the old footage.
I scored "Aim, Fire, Scoot" a 4....though this might have been generous. I can't see giving "Army Daze" anything more than a 2 since it IS "Aim, Fire, Scoot"!
