...time Roy succeeded remarkably well. Orders went out from the Secretary of the Army's office to the commanding general at Fort Dix that Private Dave Schine was to get night and weekend passes during his eight weeks of basic training. The word was passed down the line that Schine was a VIP, and every weekend a chauffeur-driven Cadillac would whisk him away from his comrades-in-arms (who get a weekend pass about four times in the eight weeks).

McCarthy's Senate subcommittee, was himself under investigation by the Army. At New Jersey's Fort Dix, where Schine had eight weeks' indoctrination, the commandant ordered some 200 of Schine's old barracks buddies to be quizzed on the question of just how basic Soldier Schine's basic training had been. Charges filled the air that Schine had goldbricked his way through his rookie days. Fellow draftees were quoted as saying...
