At Ease is an American sitcom starring Jimmie Walker that aired for 14 episodes on ABC from March 4 to June 10, 1983.
The series, which has a similar premise to another classic show, Sgt. Bilko, follows the misadventures of a pair of conniving GIs – Sgt. Val Valentine and Pfc. Tony Baker – stationed at Camp Tar Creek, an Army base located in Texas. They attempt to outwit their by-the-books commander Major Hawkins and his informant Cpl. Wessel (who is derisively called "Weasel" by Baker and Valentine), and profit from their hitch in the army.
