Battle of the Stripes!

Story featuring Sgt. Rock

Battle of the Stripes

Story featuring Sgt. Rock

Storyline: A big GI named Bulldozer wants Rock's stripes, half-joking that he's too old to keep up. As Easy Company advances, Rock shepherds the soldiers through dangers while Bulldozer charges ahead like a hero. Young Mickey Sloan wonders why Rock doesn't pin back Bulldozer's ears. Rock lets him run - until the heat is on. Even wounded, Rock hauls barbed wire aside and covers the guys. "If you want my stripes, earn 'em!" Bulldozer saves the day, but admits he'd never be a topkick like Sarge. "It ain't easy, but that's the way it is in Easy!"

Topsy-Turvy Fighters!

Storyline: As kids, one boy wanted to be a tanker, the other a sub commander. Come WW2, they get the opposite commands. But the sub commander gets stranded by low tide and fights a "tank battle" with a Japanese tank ashore, finally "sinking" the tank. Meanwhile, the tank commander has a bridge torpedoed out from under his tank. Sunk, he uses a bazooka to blow up the Nazi sub. Each writes to the other of his experience, and both think they have "battle fatigue"!

3 Tanks to Tangu!

Storyline: In Korea, a squad of GIs have only "grenades and Garands" to oppose three hidden tanks. They sink the first one by blowing up a dam. For the second they shoot electric lines to drop atop. The third, they paste mud over the view ports so it topples off a cliff. And they finally reach Tangu.

Letter Column featuring Sgt. Rock's Combat Corner

Storyline: Rock thanks many readers by name for writing, then answers questions on how many bombs to sink a sub, and the armament of a F6F-5 Hellcat and a PBM-5 Mariner.
