After striking a superior officer, bona fide super-soldier Sgt. Pete Hill is reassigned from Afghanistan to a Rear Detachment Unit stateside where he is given the seemingly sisyphean task of whipping a platoon of misfits (which counts his two younger and clearly less gung-ho brothers among its members) into shape. While Pete’s time is spent trying to turn the dysfunctional band of oddballs into viable soldiers, their impact on him may turn out to be even more worthwhile.
While trying to impress the girl he likes, Derrick accidentally promises to bring her son’s father home from war. Randy helps plan the sort of tear-soaked soldier reunion that he never had with his own father. Meanwhile, Pete and Jill must set aside their differences to lead the platoon in a game of flag football against the athletically superior Marines.
Second Lieutenant Tyson Schneeberger tricks the platoon into being test dummies for his experimental automobile, “Mondo Spider,” causing its victims to run for the latrine. So Pete attempts to rescue them. Meanwhile, Sgt. Major Cody asks Derrick to take his self-portrait, but he turns out to be a very difficult subject.
Randy and Pete partake in Sgt. Major Cody's Army Ranger trials, reigniting their intense competition over everything. Things take a turn when Jill joins the trial and both brothers think they're in love with her. Meanwhile, Derrick feels emasculated by Erin's ex, and enlists the platoon to make him seem more capable of manly tasks than he really is
