How it feels

This 1997 Taiwanese military training comedy follows a group of female college students as they undergo 19 days of boot camp at a military base during winter break. The film shows their experiences with drills, discipline, and a bit of friendly attention from a visiting official that briefly makes one trainee famous.

What happens

《報告班長5 女兵報到》是一部1997年台灣軍教片,總監金鰲勳,導演林博生,敘述1997年寒假大專院校女學生在成功嶺接受軍事訓練。陈鸿秀,《新时期以来喜剧电影发展研究》,上海三联书店,2016-09,第336页 1997年寒假,中華民國教育部辦理「大專女生軍事訓練營」,成功嶺兩個連共210名女學生兵穿著中華民國陸軍軍服接受19天的軍事訓練,是成功嶺唯一一批大專女生兵。教育部部長吳京視察大專女生軍事訓練營,見到學兵龐嘉綾時開玩笑稱「真想把她娶回家當媳婦」,而讓龐嘉綾爆紅。大專女生軍事訓練營結束後,龐嘉綾、天心、劉畊宏等人合演本片,但本片票房欠佳,1997至1998年龐嘉綾轉任三立衛星電視台新聞部記者。 此外,本片上映時異於《報告班長系列》其他集數,在標題上並未加註為第5集。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
