Synopsis:
Throughout the life of Larry Rock, he always wanted to be like Vince Albie. First Larry wanted to be a college football star like Albie, then he followed Vince into the marines. Vince was also the first one into combat, leading a special raider group.

On one patrol, Lt. Rock and Lennie are ambushed by the Japanese and captured. Rock is forced to fight an unarmed martial arts master. The huge Japanese man seems unbeatable, but Rock does not give up. He eventually chokes his opponent using a necklace the fighter wears. The other Japanese then plan to kill Rock, but Vince Albie's unit arrives to save him. Albie then tells Larry that he has always tried to be like Rock's brother Frank, the famous Sgt. Rock of Easy Company.
