No Time for Sergeants
"No Time for Sergeants" is a comedic play written by I. I. Rabi that premiered in 1954. The story follows Will Stockdale, a naive and bumbling country boy who is drafted into the U.S. Air Force. His antics and misunderstandings create chaos as he navigates military life, often clashing with his superiors.
The play highlights themes of individuality and the absurdity of military bureaucracy. It was later adapted into a successful film in 1955, starring Andy Griffith as Will Stockdale, further popularizing the story and its humorous take on military service.
