Storyline
Based loosely on the 1980 film of the same name, this series follows Private Judy Benjamin, a spoiled socialite, as she struggles through army life. Though she becomes popular with her fellow recruits, her lack of discipline earns the wrath of her superiors. Most of the humor in the series derived from Benjamin and her friends' attempts to evade the watchful eye of their captain. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher <rocher@fiberbit.net>

This series suffered from poor writing and Blah direction which probably explains why it has never shown up again since its demise.
Lorna patterson is passable as Private benjamin but nothing special...And none of the gags in any of the episodes were ever above par.....The show was sweet natured enough...but thats really about it
Oh and what ever happened to Lorna anyway???
