CPOs Sharkey, Robinson, and another man (an uncredited Bob Harks) are all tied in points for CPO of the Year. As a runoff, Capt. Buckner asks each to prepare a short speech on why they deserve the award. When Skolnick falls ill, Sharkey carries him to sick bay and throws his back out. Sharkey insists he can be cured with a rubdown at Ernie's Turkish Bath in town. He comically arrives hunched over and unknowingly makes another man there think he's gay. Finding it's run by bikini-clad girls that he doesn't trust, he leaves. Back at the base, his back straightens out until he shows how it happened in the first place. He is given muscle relaxers that he takes too many of, leaving him in a hilarious slurred stupor as his speech approaches.
The plot is a bit loose, but there are some nice laughs here. I personally found the ending disappointing, however.
