Laverne and Shirley - In the (2 part) episode We’re in the Army Now, the girls don’t get a promotion at work, so they quit and join the army, where they meet their drill sergeant played by Vicki Lawrence. Hilarity ensues.
Vicki Lawrence’s character utters the line (from memory): “I haven’t seen a mess like this since the night the lights went out in Georgia.”

Does induction count? There’s a Partridge Family where Danny gets a draft notice, and after several back and forths with the military, Ruben & Shirley determine the easiest course is for him to show up for induction. He gets DXed of course, but not for being 10 years old, nope–for not making the minimum height.

If induction counts, there was a Happy Days episode where Richie, Potsie, Ralph, and Fonzie get draft notices and have to show up for their Army physicals. Sergeant Bletchler (who everybody mispronounces as “Belcher”) is in charge, and does the “drop and give me twenty” routine every time his name is mispronounced. The nurse lieutenant who takes vitals outranks him, orders him to drop and give twenty, and ends up with Fonzie. Heyyyy!
Regarding “Crossover Episodes,” which we had a couple of prompts ago, I just noticed one. I’ve been watching the original “Fantasy Island” on YouTube, and in one (not sure what season or episode), Loni Anderson plays Kim Holland, a famous actress, whose fantasy is to be left alone. The name “Kim Holland” sounded familiar, and when she says something about “getting off the cruise ship,” I got looking.
Yep, Loni Anderson played famous actress Kim Holland on an episode of “The Love Boat,” where she just wanted to be left alone. That wasn’t easy, so she adopted a persona as Holland’s mousy secretary. I guess that Anderson, as Holland, was giving “I want to be alone” another shot on “Fantasy Island.”

Yes, induction counts; hell some kind of quasi-military training example counts (viz my examples). Tropes are flexible.
