A United States navy man gets stationed at the Subic Naval Base Post Office for his last tour of duty and happens to meet out in town, in his rented home, General Osmea, immediately after she and her parents return from a funeral in Mindanao after the death of a very close cousin. They are locked out of their house, and he happens to be present as they attempt to get in. Soon, she goes down to Mindanao to battle with the insurgents who caused the death of her cousin. Later, she is promoted to the rank of four stars in the Philippine Marine Corp and is placed in command of coalition forces to battle with Islamic extremists in the nation of Somalia. While the ship on which she is serving is deployed, Mike works in the Subic Naval Station Post Office, handling mail for much of the coalition forces. As her command ship returns to the Philippines, crossing the Indian Ocean, she is involved in a shellback initiation, and soon after her return to Subic, Mike and her get married.
