EPISODE J-315

TUTTLE - by Bruce Shelly and David Ketchum

Hawkeye tells Sister Theresa that the truckload of goods sent to her orphanage is all from Captain Tuttle. Actually, Tuttle is the imaginary friend Hawkeye had as a child who did all the bad things. Soon, Tuttles grows in dimension as Tuttle signs requisitions for more supplies for the orphans. When Blake asks about Tuttle, Radar reminds him that the pair had breakfast together the other day. Hot Lips and Frank are soon wondering about him, with Hot Lips more interested since Tuttle's personnel file says he is six feet four with hazel eyes and auburn hair. Radar overhears Hot Lips tell Frank she plans to call the General about Tuttle. When she does, Radar has the call patched by Sparky — his friend at headquarters — so Hawkeye can double for the General on the phone. Deciding to get to the bottom of this, Blake tells Radar to summon Tuttle, Hawkeye and Trapper. Suddenly Tuttle is spotted in many places, in OR, in X-ray, with Hot Lips or anywhere but where he can be seen. Soon Hawkeye remembers Tuttle hasn’t been paid and a requisition is put in for 14 months back pay. The Finance Officer comes for Tuttle’s signature only to find Hawkeye in cap and mask ready to sign the form as Tuttle. He donates the back pay to the orphanage. Her gratitude brings the General to camp to decorate Tuttle only to learn from Hawkeye, with a parachute and dog tags in hand, that Tuttle went out to surgery in the field and jumped with everything but his parachute. Hawkeye pays a moving tribute to Tuttle, adding that he's left his G.I. Insurance to Sister Theresa.
