Amusing at times lesson on how to prepare for service emotionally. Fellow has to man up, stop thinking of people back home, and just concentrate on the tasks at hand! Lots of giggly double entendres dot this film, most especially the scene where one finds out "what you can and can't do" while a man's butt is wriggling full force in front of someone.
