Contains 5 stories
Rugged Rug-Cutters
8 pp · humor

Canteen Kate pulls out all the stops to bring some real American music to the troops in Japan, tracking down a juke box and rallying the soldiers to pool their cash for it—only to discover the motor's broken and spare parts prove harder to come by than expected. When Kate's resourcefulness lands everyone in hot water with the officers, a lucky turn of events might just get that music playing after all, though perhaps not quite in the way anyone imagined.

Screw Ball Strategy
6 pp · humor

When PFC Henry McGuffey—a screwball Marine recruit who somehow made it through boot camp—is tasked with rescuing a platoon trapped in a Korean rice paddy, he requisitions an bizarre assortment of supplies that leave everyone convinced he's lost his mind. His unorthodox "Screw Ball Strategy" unfolds through a wild chase and an improvised parachute drop, where McGuffey's seemingly insane plan begins to make a twisted kind of sense.

Scuttlebutt
2 pp · humor

When word spreads that the naval base is relocating, Canteen Kate seizes the moment by putting herself up for sale—and suddenly every sailor on base wants to bid. What starts as a clever scheme to capitalize on the chaos becomes a hilarious auction that spins wildly out of hand, leaving Kate to wonder if her plan was worth the trouble.

Bring 'em Back Alive
6 pp · humor

When Canteen Kate spots what she's convinced is a seven-foot monster raiding the mess hall, she grabs a rifle and sets out on the hunt—dragging along a reluctant Private Al, who'd much rather spend his day off anywhere but digging trap pits in the woods. As Kate and Al stake out their snare from a tree, they find themselves dodging hornets, befriending a curious monkey, and getting a lot closer than either of them expected before their trap finally springs.

Much Ado about Mushrooms
9 pp · humor

When Al tries to dodge a week-long bivouac by faking illness, he receives a prized package of mushroom soup from home—but Canteen Kate accidentally serves it to her new assistant, Hiya Joe, while Al daydreams about the meal. Desperate to replace it before Al discovers the mix-up, Kate and Hiya venture into a nearby field to pick fresh mushrooms, leading to an adventure neither of them quite expected. Al gets his soup, though not quite in the way he'd imagined—and learns a hard lesson about wishing to be sick.
