Sgt. Brennan's decision on whether or not to stay in


The first time I saw this movie many years back, I could swear it ended with his changing his mind at the last minute and deciding to stay in the Air Force but when I saw it on TV the other night that didn't happen. Maybe I'm thinking of another movie but has anyone else out there noticed the same discrepancy by chance?

In the version on TCM he tells his daughter to tell them he is too young to retire.

Yeah, that's what I thought--thanks for the update!

Oh yes, he did stay in. It's sort of a major part of the movies theme, to retain experience NCOs in SAC.

I think he tells Nat to hand the discharge papers back to his CO (and soon to be son-in-law) and do it double time, to which she replies, "Yes sir! LOL!🐭
