What is the main conflict in Biloxi Blues by Neil Simon?

Biloxi Blues is the second in a trilogy of semi-autobiographical plays by Neil Simon that cover the life of a writer growing up in 1930s New York City. The “Eugene Trilogy” begins with the play Brighton Beach Memoirs and ends with Broadway Bound. Eugene Morris Jerome is the title character and in Biloxi Blues; it is 1943 and he has just been drafted into the U.S. Army. The play covers the period of time that Eugene spends in basic training in Biloxi, Mississippi. Biloxi Blues opened in Los Angeles in 1984 and then in New York City in 1985. It won the Tony Award for Best Play in 1985 – the first of two times that Neil Simon was honored with that award.
