This is the first of ten M*A*S*H scripts by John Rappaport, who did one for The Bob Newhart Show, and the first of three by Jim Mulligan, who did one for What's Happening!!  It shows a nice sense of the history of the series, although I think Father Mulcahy made up the story of Radar being initially incompetent (for several months!) and Colonel Blake nurturing him along.  (The reverse is more likely.)  I also like the bromantic scene (as pictured) where BJ talks to Hawkeye about what he's going through, and Hawkeye is very sympathetic, even though BJ recently punched him.

Gwen Farrell (this time Able), Jan Jorden (Baker), Jeff Maxwell (Straminsky), Kellye Nakahara (Yamato), and Eileen Saki (Rosie) return.
