The Officer

Synopsis: Arthur Graham saw the Army as the perfect career choice for an aspiring leader like himself, but upon entering he begins to find that it is not all he thought it would be. What it means to be in the military is a lot weirder, funnier and more confusing than you'd expect. Check your preconceived notions at the door for this one. Also, cadences and a plethora of acronyms are included.
