This Mumford & Wilcox episode is even worse written than the previous one, although the acting and direction are better here.  Nearly every line sounds arch and unlike human speech, not just those from Hawkeye and BJ but most notably from Potter.  And I think the thing of Mulcahy wanting a promotion has gotten stale.  You're a priest, move on!

G.W. Bailey (a nameless GI here but essentially playing his Rizzo character), Paul Cavonis (again playing a Greek, as he did the previous year), Sirri Murad (again playing a Turk, as he did in '74), Kellye Nakahara (Yamato), John Orchard (here MP Muldoon, but "Ugly John" back in the first season), Eileen Saki (Rosie), Joann Thompson (Nurse Jo Ann), and Momo Yashima (this time Suni) return, and Kellye even flirts a bit with Hawkeye.
