I did watch An Officer and a Gentleman, but that was about 25 years ago. I only remember the woman (I think) quitting her job or otherwise leaving without permission to run back to the man (played by Richard Gere). It also had scenes that made me think Full Metal Jacket had drawn some inspiration from it, but I don't recall what those were. Probably drill instructor scenes or something.
Seemed like a good film for my 16 year old self, or whenever I watched it. I'll have to watch again someday.
