And had some "fun" with him before he was returned home and the general noted that he was not pleased with the tu-tu. Since they were not informed of the hostilities, Rainbow Squad was relived of all charges and Triple M was place within the fifth. Triple M is 24 years of age and he weighs 170 pounds out of armor.

Episodes

;Episode 1: "Spriggs!"

The first episode mainly introduces the main characters and the Spriggs-Willy situation. Hammer becomes frustrated when Willy once again goes on a rampage to kill Spriggs and promotes Triple M from Specialist to Sergeant just to get out of "stopping his men". When Triple M has finally calms Willy down, Spriggs drives by and aggrivates him, prompting him to shoot a rocket at him, which misses and hits Hammer, critically wounding him. The episode ends with Triple M chuckling, "Well, at least you didn't hit anything important!"

;Episode 2: Housecall

Triple M and Willy drive the injured Hammer back to base (after him falling out twice) and Willy begins telling Triple M that he doesn't want to watch Hammer until the medic arrives as he has fear of "A cripple with special forces training." After complaining about his testicles being presumably missing and fainting chanting for his grandma and "Mr Fatpants" Hammer asks Willy which medic he called. Just after finding out it was his organ-harvesting ex-girlfrind, Meme, Hammer quickly changes his foul attitude towards Willy and begs him to stay in fear of what Meme would do to him. Willy leaves anyway and spots Spriggs outside. After thanking him for "his simple focus in the age of the spectacular, for keeping it real with his witty insights and comic insults, and for not asking him to take his pants off in front of his former girlfriend" he pulls out his rocket launcher and promises Spriggs that he will make his death quick and painless, right before being run over by Spriggs' Mongoose.
