Fort Knox chronicles the life of a military family: Dad, Major Joe Knox; Mom, Jane Knox; and their two boys, Donald and Wesley. The family has picked up and moved — again — thousands of miles from family and friends to take up residence at Joe's new assignment at Fort Lincoln. Donald and Wesley have moved before, but that doesn't make it any easier on them. They must face down new bullies, master a new school system and new teachers, and navigate a new community. Added to these pressures is the distance the move puts between them and their beloved grandmother, who's a known troublemaker if not a known felon (yet). On top of all that, there's the strain that military life puts on their parents' otherwise happy marriage.

He’s a Major. He should just tell a Sergeant to take a detail over to the general’s house and take care of it.

Well you know what happens when you help somebody move, they give you stuff, and you just have to weed out the good stuff from the crap! Just got a TV and stereo system from somebody moving, working perfectly!

General Halftrack, er, Wickum is obviously a cheapskate and a half. On a General’s pay, he can certainly afford to have his junk moved professionally, if not by starving students.

I knew it was against policy from start to finish. It’s as though there are only five people at this post.
