When the devastating Kocaeli earthquake occurs , the Turkish government passes a special law allowing people to complete their military service in a month . Many make use of this law including Murat ( a factory owner ) , Ömer ( a factory worker ) , Gökhan Özoğuz ( frontman of the ska-punk band Athena ) , Nihat ( who lost his family in the earthquake ) , Can ( who was rejected by the army for being overweight ) , Levent ( a thespian ) , Australian Turk Hüseyin and his son Seyfi Paul , Laptop Recep . They join those who are already at the base : Captain Volkan Ateş ( the commanding officer ) and Karlıdağ ( who is on extended service due to indiscipline )
