This anthology issue contains multiple military humor stories. "Hup Bradley" follows a soldier frustrated by waiting for a furlough promised long ago, only to have it arrive while he's on duty, leading him to attempt cancellation. "Dowdy's Psychosis" depicts a soldier pranking his comrade with dynamite, causing the victim to seek relief at the post library. A third story involves a female servicemember named Gwen managing multiple blind dates lined up by her fellow Marines, humorously meeting them in succession at the mess hall.

The Case of the Missing Dog-Tags
7 pp · War

Monty Hall finds himself in hot water when his dog tags—left behind during a surprise enemy attack—end up in the possession of a captured government scientist, making both their names appear on a Red prisoner-of-war list. Tasked with infiltrating a prison camp on the island of Samu to retrieve the tags and rescue the scientist, Monty and his companions must navigate enemy guards, discover an underground tunnel system, and decide how far they're willing to go to help the other prisoners still held captive. It's a high-stakes mission where a simple swim break and a forgotten jacket could cost everything.

Dowdy's Psychosis

Bat Bentley digs up a psychiatry textbook and hatches a scheme to drive his prankster buddy Spike crazy by feeding him manufactured symptoms of mental illness—starting with accusations from other soldiers and escalating through a pair of fake sweepstakes letters. As Spike spirals from paranoid rage to delusions of wealth to crushing despair, Bat watches his plan succeed almost too well, and the practical joke begins to blur the line between fiction and reality in ways he never anticipated.
