G.I. Jane #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains two stories: In the first, G.I. Jane sings while performing various domestic chores and later encounters military personnel at what appears to be a gate, where she is stopped for an expired pass. In the second story, "PX Pete" (subtitled "The Sergeant with a Soul"), a sergeant in a yellow uniform distributes special cigarettes at an exchange, and later offers some to Private Whirly, who plans to retrieve his glasses from Captain Johnson's quarters. A separate story titled "Girl (Pvt.) Meets Boy (Lt.)" follows Private Jane Whirly as she visits a Captain's quarters and encounters a fire alarm that sends her fleeing the building.
Private Jane Whirly is stuck in the barracks washing floors while the rest of her unit heads to the service club for a visit from Van Handsome, the movie star pin-up—until a lucky break lands her escorting the celebrity herself. A comedy of military mishaps and star-struck soldiers, "The Pin-Up Boy" proves that the best-laid plans in the Army don't always go as expected.
Pvt. Katie Kay scores a coveted three-hour pass from M.Sgt. J. Blood and sets her sights on town—specifically to track down a certain good-looking MP she's had her eye on. But a careless mishap and some distracted daydreaming might just cost her the time she needs to make her plans work out.
When a wise-guy private tries to con his way out of fatigue duty, he lands K.P. under Mess Sergeant MacDonald—a "sergeant with a soul" who insists on personally demonstrating the finer points of stove-cleaning. What starts as a seemingly kind gesture turns into a masterclass in military irony as the private discovers that having heart doesn't mean making the work any easier.
Private Jane Whirly finds herself in a bind when she borrows Captain Johnson's uniform blouse and is mistaken for an officer by Lieutenant Hanley during a fire drill—a mix-up that leads to an unexpected date at the Officers Club and a lost shoe that threatens to expose her deception. When the good Lieutenant tracks her down the next morning to return her shoe, Jane realizes she's caught between her feelings for him and the strict military code against fraternizing across ranks. Determined to bridge the gap, Jane sets her sights on Officer Candidate School, but Lieutenant Hanley has his own idea about how to solve their problem.
