Main criticisms leveled against S. 2303 were that it did not go far enough. Thur man Arnold, flushed with power, called it "harmless but useful."

In the face of the drawbacks, the movie combines several harmless tunes with the purely physical efforts of Jack Oakie to be funny...
...enter the armed forces after graduation. They deserve a send-off. Morever these last exercises means a lot to some of us, and to our friends and relatives, even if it is only a chance to strut and be the center of attention for a few hours. Such is harmless and trivial, but very necessary and dear to men. Sincerely, George J. Grindle...
