2. Our favorite M*A*S*H residents learn that Steele is 100% GI, meaning that the camp has to be cleaned up. Uniforms are to be pressed, haircuts and shaves are to be mandatory, and living quarters are to be 'ship-shape'.

6. Steele's final encounter during the inspection is with Klinger, who has selected a lovely blue checkered dress and a red hat for the occasion. Rather than demanding an explanation as to Klinger's attire, the general mistakes him for his wife. We learn that the general's wife is named...?

10. We next see Steele in the Officers' Club where he encounters Trapper having a drink with Warrant Officer Martin Williams, the chopper pilot.
