Synopsis:
Easy Company is joined by a new replacement who quickly receives the nickname Babyface. Sgt. Rock discovers the kid is under seventeen and orders him back to headquarters. Babyface refuses to go and proves that he is a capable soldier.
Rock still is not convinced in Babyface's ability. He orders Bulldozer to escort Babyface away from the front. After Easy encounters a tank, Bulldozer and Babyface return. Bulldozer explains that they ran into two more tanks. Babyface destroyed one and rescued him.
Rock is still upset with Babyface, but is forced to deal with an enemy tank first. Babyface finally earns Rock's respect by taking out the tank. Despite his age Rock now considers Babyface a real soldier.
