2013–2015 Afghanistan
Thirteen episodes. Two deployment cycles. The season opens with a green-on-blue attack at VSO Jalrez — objective camera, no score, just the truth — and ends with Jason on a HLZ at Bagram, coming home. Jason moves across ODA 3336 ("Knucks & Chucks"), 3335 ("Necessary Evil"), and 3334 ("Death Machine MC") — the connective tissue of three very different worlds.
Green-on-blue attack. Objective camera. No score. Jay arrives, reports to SGM, meets ODA 3336. The sandbag throne. The Mason story. The fire pit. He is home.
George Bannar KIA in Wardak. Chuck codes twice, survives. The Shank memorial.
Funeral detail. Lindsey: "Come back to me." The DUI story. The acid trip.
Abandoned airbase. Chinook insertion. First kill — handled with restraint.
"Fancy" by Iggy Azalea. Wrong-side insertion. Chuck shot. Danger-close 500lb bomb.
RPG ambush. JJ roof circus. The last fist pound with Mikey Cathcart.
Pitch Perfect — last pure lightness. CIB awarding. Civilian casualty. Moral center.
Thanksgiving. Equipment prep ritual. The contact. Blunt force. Sky spinning. Cut to black.
ISR: perfect L-shaped ambush. Airstrike denied. "Get off my fingers." "Treat yourself."
Lindsey's side of the call. Bear-style pressure cooker. Dan calls. Fort Bragg reunion.
Jay's dissociation at home. The boys still fighting in Nangarhar. "Jay… come back to me."
Jay absent entirely. Reggie's baptism by fire with 3335. Ray: "Welcome to the show, kid."
German transit. Bagram HLZ. JJ: "Why so serious?" He is home. He is whole.
