--> '''Austin''': Nothing's too crazy for Marines.

During a training exercise, a missing member of a Marine company is found unconscious and buried in the sand, having evidently been there some time. Harm and Meg investigate and learn that he, like the other black troops, was commonly singled out by their commander, a [[BoomerangBigot black captain.]] Suspecting foul play, our heroes soon learn that the victim may have had ties to a local gang.
