Monty Hall agrees to a boxing match with Chuck Clark after a disagreement over Pete's military cap, with their respective platoons wagering on the outcome.

Tanks A Million
7 pp · War

In the mud-choked chaos behind enemy lines, Monty, Tex, and Canarsie are diverted from rejoining their unit when they stumble upon a stranded armored outfit whose tanks are buried in the mire. Forced into an unexpected role, they team up with a gruff tank sergeant to salvage working engines from wrecked vehicles, turning scrap into a makeshift, untested armored force. As they prepare for a risky trial run, rumors of enemy tanks approaching add urgency to their makeshift mission.

You're A Leatherneck Now

Monty Hall, a seasoned Marine drill instructor, pushes a group of raw recruits through grueling basic training, using discipline, humor, and physical challenges to forge them into hardened Leathernecks. Amid the strain, tensions flare between Pete Ford and Chuck Clark, two recruits with boxing backgrounds, setting the stage for a high-stakes fight that tests more than just skill.
