Plot[edit]
The series centered on Nick Chase, a 42-year old former drill instructor who has retired from the U.S. Marine Corps and is now taking advantage of the GI Bill to attend Saginaw University. He gets assigned to room with Matthew Wiggins, 14-year old "boy genius", who has also enrolled at Saginaw to study marine biology. Nick does not like this arrangement at first, but when he sees Matthew is serious about his studies, he appreciates avoiding the stereotypical raunchiness and zaniness associated with college students and sees the same discipline in Matthew that he saw in his recruits, and the two form a partnership, trying to help each other out.[2] Among those shown were a trio of 'Singing Freshman' who sang through the hallways.

Trivia[edit]
Burt Young himself served in the U. S. Marine Corps from 1957 to 1959. The "recruits" he was marching in the opening credits were real Marines from the Marine Barracks at the Seal Beach Naval Weapon Station.
