Never Wave at a WAC

Spoiled Washington socialite Jo McBain joins to WACs to be near her boyfriend, Colonel Fairchild, certain that her daddy will pull strings to land her a soft commission in the officer's corps. Instead, father plans to teach the girl a lesson, leaving the horrified Jo to withstand the rigors of basic training on her own. She is convinced things can get no worse when her ex-husband Andrew appears on base in charge of a secret testing unit and determined to win Jo back. When Jo gets assigned to Andrew's test group, he tightens the screws to undermine and destroy any possibility of romance between her and the Colonel.
