Drill Sergeant Dina Manzo and her party planning troops invade Homeowners Kim and John Fio Rito's home to throw a military-themed 40th birthday party for John, a military veteran and graduate of West Point. Dina joins John for an insider's visit to the famous military academy to glean inspiration and ideas for the old-fashioned military ball. Dina and her team accept the added challenge of turning John's home office into a replica of the Academy's historic mess hall and surprise the couple with space-saving storage benches in their kids' playroom.
