Storyline

- TriviaIn the scene where Homer is trying to sign up for the Naval Reserve, he questions an officer about a question that was scratched out. This was a reference to the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy that Bill Clinton proposed where he would allow gays in the Armed Forces, as long as they were not openly gay in the military. Consequently, the Armed Forces were no longer allowed to "ask" soldiers if they were gay (hence the question now being crossed out and the officer trying to avoid hearing Homer answer the question).
- GoofsWhen the drill sergeant was announcing who was accepted into the Navy, his hands are yellow for a few frames, while he is usually dark-skinned.
- Quotes
Kent Brockman: Could Homer Simpson be a communist? His father spoke out on his behalf.
Grampa Simpson: My Homer is not a communist. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a communist, but he is *not* a porn star!

Featured review
In the Navy
Homer sees a recruiting thing for the Naval Reserve (which isn't held in much of a light), so he and his buddies join. I just couldn't get very interested in it as Homer screws everything up, yet advances. Not a big favorite of mine.
