Now an adult, Zack, a college graduate, reports to Port Rainier, an <a href="/wiki/Officer_Candidate_School_(U.S._Navy)#AOCS" class="mw-redirect" title="Officer Candidate School (U.S. Navy)">Aviation Officer Candidate School</a> (AOCS), located near Port Townsend, Washington. Zack surprises Byron by announcing his intention to become a Navy jet pilot. </p><p>Upon arrival, Zack and his fellow recruits meet <a href="/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps" title="United States Marine Corps">Marine</a> Gunnery Sergeant Emil Foley, their stern, no-nonsense <a href="/wiki/Drill_instructor" title="Drill instructor">drill instructor</a>. Foley warns that mentally or physically unfit Naval officer candidates will be dismissed. Male candidates are also warned about "Puget Sound Debs", local girls aspiring to marry a <a href="/wiki/United_States_Naval_Aviator" class="mw-redirect" title="United States Naval Aviator">Naval Aviator</a>. Soon after, Zack and fellow candidate, Sid Worley, meet two young factory workers, Paula Pokrifki and Lynette Pomeroy, at a Navy dance. Zack begins a relationship with Paula, while Sid dates Lynette. </p><p>Zack is eventually caught peddling contraband uniform accessories to cash-strapped candidates so they can pass inspections. Foley punishes Zack with a weekend of rigorous hazing to force his resignation, saying he lacks the character to be an officer. When Zack refuses to quit, Foley dismisses him from the program. Zack breaks down and admits to having no options in civilian life. Foley relents and assigns Zack to cleaning work. </p><p>Paula's mother and younger sister appear enchanted with Zack but her stepfather is somewhat hostile. Zack later learns that Paula's absent biological father was an officer candidate who abandoned Paula's mother when she became pregnant. As it nears time to transfer to another base for the next training phase, Zack ends his and Paula's relationship. </p><p>During the final obstacle-course run, rather than break the base's course record, Zack stops to encourage his teammate, Casey Seeger, to complete the run so she can graduate. Zack learns that, after Sid is commissioned, he is expected to marry his late brother's fiancée. Meanwhile, Lynette tells Sid she may be pregnant. </p><p>After a severe <a href="/wiki/Anxiety_attack" class="mw-redirect" title="Anxiety attack">anxiety attack</a> during a high-altitude simulation in a <a href="/wiki/Hypobaric_chamber" title="Hypobaric chamber">pressure chamber</a>, Sid quits the program. He proposes to Lynette, saying that he never wanted a military career and was only assuming his deceased brother's role to please his family. Lynette is thrilled until she hears he quit the training. She tells him the pregnancy was a false alarm. Sid still wants them to marry and move back to Oklahoma where he can resume his old <a href="/wiki/JCPenney" title="JCPenney">JC Penney</a>'s job. A stunned Lynnette rejects Sid, saying she wanted to marry a naval aviator and live overseas. A dejected Sid leaves. Zack and Paula arrive soon after, looking for Sid. Zack accuses Lynette of faking being pregnant, which she denies. </p><p>Zack and Paula find Sid at a motel where he has <a href="/wiki/Suicide_by_hanging" title="Suicide by hanging">hanged himself</a>. Blaming himself, Zack heads back to the base, intending to quit. He angrily confronts Foley, who refuses Zack's resignation and challenges him to settle their differences in martial arts combat. Zack lands several blows on a surprised Foley before the latter incapacitates Zack; he says it is Zack's choice to quit. </p><p>Zack completes his training and is commissioned as an officer. Following tradition, he and the other graduates receive their first salute from Foley. Zack thanks Foley for not giving up on him. Before Zack departs, he sees Foley greeting the new recruits. </p><p>Zack then surprises Paula at her workplace.

The main difference is that the nudity and a majority of the foul language are edited out when the film airs on regular television. However, the group marching song near the beginning of the film and Mayo's solo marching song are not voiceover edits; they are reshoots of those scenes for television. Also, the sex scene between Mayo and Paula is cut in half, and the scene where Mayo finds Sid's naked body hanging in the shower is also edited. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Home_media">Home media</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=An_Officer_and_a_Gentleman&amp;action=edit&amp;section=10" title="Edit section: Home media"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The film has been available on various formats, first on VHS and also DVD.
