Steve, Eddie and Waldo on Family Matters did, on more than one occasion, I believe. I remember them trying to scrub the barracks floor with toothbrushes. :lol:

On Amen, Thelma joined the Army (in her wedding gown!!) after Rev. Gregory kept fainting at the altar. That story lasted several episodes. Of all characters in TV to join the Army, THELMA!? :rofl:
