A production assistant, also known as a PA, is a member of the film crew and is a job title used in filmmaking and television for a person responsible for various aspects of a production. The job of a PA can vary greatly depending on the budget and specific requirements of a production as well as whether or not the production is unionized.
Production assistants on films are sometimes attached to individual actors or filmmakers.
In unionized television and feature film, production assistants are usually divided into different categories: "Set PA", "Truck PA", "Locations PA", "Office PA", or "Set Runner" and "Extra PA or Daily" - Variations exist depending on a show's structure or region of the United States or Canada.
Office PAs usually spend most hours in the respective show's production office handling such tasks as phones, deliveries, script copies, lunch pick-ups, and related tasks in coordination with the production manager and production coordinator.
Combat Academy (also known as Combat High) is a 1986 American comedy television film directed by Neal Israel. The film also features (a then-unknown) George Clooney in his film debut.
Best friends Max Mendelsson (Keith Gordon) and Perry Barnett (Wally Ward) are a pair of misfit high school teenagers who always cause trouble at school. After starting the first day by setting a large amount of destructive pranks, the duo are suspended from school. They later get themselves into more trouble when they intentionally misdirect several construction workers into drilling on the wrong area, ultimately causing roadside damage and getting themselves arrested by the police. For their mischief, the judge sentences them to serve a year in Kirkland Military School to teach them discipline.
Upon arriving in military school, the duo meets Cadet Major Biff Woods (George Clooney), Cadet Captain Kevin, and Cadet Sergeant Andrea Pritchett (Dana Hill) who constantly punish Max for his bad conduct and behavior. Max finds the time in military school unbearable and vows to find a way to get himself out. During a war game, Perry meets a fellow cadet named Mary-Beth (Tina Caspary) and falls in love with her. Meanwhile, Max again sets up another series of destructive pranks in the military school, hoping to get himself removed from the school. However, the principal and Biff's father, General Ed Woods (Robert Culp), refuses to expel them, instead giving the two of them more punishments. Although Max is still unrepentant, Perry decides that he wants to straighten up his life, and breaks off his friendship with Max.

The greatest Swordmasters of cinema history have also been competitive fencers and coaches. Fred Cavins, Ralph Faulkner, Robert "Bob" Anderson and William "Bill" Hobbs. Not everyone can mix competition fencing with theatrical combat. Tim Weske is able to make that transition just like the great swordmasters before him. Beware the person who tells you that competitive fencing has nothing to do with theatrical combat. Or people that teach theatrical combat and don't fence.

[Verse 1]
I'd like to take a minute to apologize
For not taking advantage of you
Through all the years you've passed me by
Honestly I really wanted to be mad at you, yes
For so many hours waiting, yeah
I finally know what it means to be patient
And everything has its place, yeah
And reason and I've learned that
[Chorus]
Time waits for nothing
And everything is gonna take its time for it to happen
Time waits for nothing
And everything is gonna take its time
Time waits for nothing and no one
Cause everything has its time
[Verse 2]
I used to think that if I tried
Then maybe I could change the things that
I regretted in my past life
But through all the lessons that you taught me
I have learned my experiences enhanced my character, yes
Now as I look back with what I know now
I can say that I wouldn't change a thing
Cause I love who I became, yeah
And when it's all said and done
I can only live for today
Cause I've learned that
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I used to find it hard to believe
And almost impossible to conceive, yeah
Everything I do revolves around you
And knowing that, its kind crazy to me
Now if I had a dollar for every moment
That I spent watching my days go by
Doing, doing, doing nothing
I probably never be penniless or hopeless.
[Verse 3]
So for a while now, I've kept in mind
Cause what they say is true
That you are of the essence
Down to the very last second
And I'm so glad that I've grown to
Respect you
[Chorus 4x]
