USO Down... where a singer and his entourage's chopper is shot down and Myron's unit has to get the civilians to safety. I really like that the female dancers are more calm and collected than the guys in this one. Thanks to that, the girls survive. I love that Zeke apparently knows about Myron's family and he already doesn't like his old man one bit.
Under Siege... where Firebase Ladybird gets a new commander who lands them all in deep shit and it's only thanks to Myron's tactical genius that most of them survive. The scene where the captain gives up and decides the base is lost and Zeke corners Myron, telling him that they can't just roll over and die, and Myron assures him that they are not, is one of the best ever. You can almost see the wheels turning in Myron's head. And the way Zeke literally hangs on his every word! And then Myron comes up with a plan that saves their collective butt and the base, too. And does he get any recognition at all? Of course not, it's the captain who gets a commendation! Jesus on a cracker. If Zeke's look could kill, the captain would keel over right there.
