Synopsis for Sgt. Rock: "Ice Cream Soldier!"
A new soldier named Phil has been taken into Easy Co. and he is proving to be a reluctant warrior. The members of Easy Co. begin calling Phil the "Ice Cream Soldier" due to the fact that he "melts" in battle. Wanting him to become a good soldier, Sgt. Rock is constantly coming to his rescue in the hopes of pushing him into being able to be there for his fellow soldiers.
However, each attempt ends in failure, and it doesn't look like the rest of the squad is going to let up when Phil gets severe frostbite in his feet. However, Phil proves himself in combat on an ice floe, manning a bazooka and fighting off enemy troops. After getting congratulations from his fellow soldiers, Phil is accepted into the group, and decides to keep his nickname.
