Synopsis/Details
The Army grants retiring Warrant Officer Gus Mabry "sanctuary" where he cannot be deployed so he can focus on closing out his military career… or so he thought. He finds himself assigned to an organization of misfits that makes the place seem more like an insane asylum than a sanctuary. He finds friendship in a kindred spirit, MSG Geno Baptiste, who quickly shows he is a master of surviving in this environment and mentors Mabry on how to survive too. Mabry quickly learns to navigate unbelievable situations and people while attempting to not become one of the "inmates". In time, and without realizing the change in themselves, the two do become more like their co-workers as they play games of one-upmanship with them. Each episode’s theme focuses on a new and difficult challenge that the situation and people create. In the end, it really is all about their own amusement.
