This episode we take a break from our regular Joe missions as Clutch returns home for furlough.  Home.... friends, family, Cobra free?  Right?

Then at 54 minutes in to the show, we look at the eighth  episode of the regular cartoon with "Satellite Down" written by Ted Pedersen.
This episode first aired September 25, 1985.

Then at an hour and twenty minutes, I bring you Postbox: The Pit!
And I award a brand new award... The Solider of the Month!

This month, the honor of the very first Solider of the Month award, goes to Mark Storm....  Why?  What did Mark do to deserve this honor?  Listen in and find out.
