Margaret replied "Because there's no room in officers' country." My question is, why wasn't the V.I.P. tent available for Colonel Reese?

MASH has some super one-time characters and Colonel Reese was one of them. When she was unpacking, didn't she unpack one of spring resistance exercise things? How hilarious.

I wonder if you've noticed that Mary Wickes really didn't age a great deal from White Christmas (1954) to this MASH episode (1973ish) to the Sister Act movies (1993ish). I'm sure this was discussed on at least one other thread on this site, but MASH really had some top notch actors doing some really top notch one episode characters - Mary Wickes, Ned Beatty, Patrick Swazey (spelling?), Ron Howard, Pat Hingle, just to name a few.
