This is a classic (and still VERY funny) Andy Griffith comedy and personal
favorite of mine.

"No Time For Sergeants" (1958)

Andy Griffith burst to stardom with this surprisingly funny film
adaptation of the Broadway comedy. Griffith plays a hillbilly who is
drafted into the army where, among other things, he has to wear shoes
regularly for the first time. Griffith brings an engaging glee to the role
of this likable bumpkin, whose happy-go-lucky demeanor is impervious to
insult. Ask him to clean the latrines and he rigs the toilet seats to
stand up and salute. The film follows him through basic training and into
the paratroops, where he becomes an unlikely hero. A solid supporting cast
includes Griffith's future sidekick, Don Knotts; Nick Adams; and, most
notably, the hilariously sullen Myron McCormick
