Just months from the big Boxing match and Echo Company has a new prospect, ROBERT E. LEE PREWITT, 24, transfers over from Fort Shafter. He finds an old romance in LORENE, 22 who lives a double life and is reluctant to let him in her life again. Prew heads on over to the Chow hall where he runs into RED, 26, and old friend from the Bugle Corps to help him get settled into his new Company, yet finds out that he was requested only to box and any other ideas will lead to the infamous "Treatment" by CAPTAIN "DYNAMITE" HOLMES, 34 the company commander and regimental Boxing coach. His First Sergeant MILT WARDEN, 35, who encourages Prew to change his mind, but must overcome his own dilemma. An affair with with the Commander's wife, KAREN HOLMES, 32. His stubborn resistance lands him at the Flagpole helping ANGELO MAGGIO, 26, a rough Brooklyn native with the labor. He and Maggio become good friends as they both court young women LORENE, 22, and MACY, 26, from the local gentlemen's club. SGT GALOVITCH, 32, puts maggio on detail in order to go out and find Macy and have his way with her, so Maggio skips out on detail to find Galovitch's truck, yet unbeknown to him, the SGT. is up in the hills raping Macy with the boys. He steals their whiskey and crashes the truck. He then finds a bench in Haleiwa where Prew would eventually run into him. Two trucks arrive one damaged. Maggio stays and Prew ducks out behind the bushes. Galovitch would admit to raping Macy, that provokes a swing and lands Angelo in the Stockade under the brutal hands of JUDSON, 42, who would later kill an inmate and become a real threat to Maggio's life, as well. Knowing the stakes, Prewitt kills Judson and is forced to hide out with Lorene. They make plans to go to Oregon, but early the next morning The Japanese Imperial Fleet would attack Pearl Harbor. The late word of amnesty by Warden would send him back to the barracks, but he is intercepted by Holmes who has him executed on the spot. Maggio is released on a Section 8 and notices Prew's coffin aligned with the soldiers of the December 7th attacks. Maggio gives his final salute to his loyal savior, as he exits the Gates and the Army forever.
