Answer: He has a laceration on his left leg.

Owens was shot in the leg but that is not the answer. He has a lacerated artery. All Hawkeye has to do is patch it up, and send him back to Seoul to be returned to his unit.

2. How did Jack get his nickname?

Answer: He takes pictures of the wounded.

Jack loves to take pictures of the wounded. This annoys Frank who says he will put him and Lt Cathy King on report for allowing him and his camera into the OR. Jack does take a picture of Frank to cheer him up.

3. BJ and Hot Lips do their rounds and BJ picks up one of Owens' comics. What comic is BJ reading?

Answer: Superman

BJ is reading "Superman" which hit the stands in 1938. Frank then comes in and BJ teases Hot Lips about seeing her in her underwear.

Answer: He has been shot twice in the same leg and has two purple hearts.

Owens was shot twice in the same leg and has two purple hearts. Owens says he does not want to go back to the front because it will be number three. But after some advice from Radar he goes back. Let's hope they don't see him again.

Answer: He has a wound on his hand.

Potter notices a wound on Jack's hand, saying he patched it a month ago when Potter was at 121st Evac. Later Potter goes to the bar and Jack is using needles and an orange to do an impossible trick. Potter then pulls the needle out of the door and grounds Jack, and tells Hawkeye and BJ to give him a physical.

6. When Jack is given his physical what scary secret does he tell Hawkeye and BJ?

Answer: He's a diabetic.

Jack is a diabetic. Flying and diabetes don't mix. Jack could crash, he could forget his insulin, he could get tunnel vision, and he could blackout. Jack ignores the orders, and takes off in his chopper to go get four more.

7. When Jack arrives at Aide Station 12 what dangerous stunt does he do to get four wounded back to 'M*A*S*H'?

9. When Jack returns to 'M*A*S*H' Hawkeye and BJ pull him out of the chopper. When they dressed him down what did they take?

Answer: Everything

Hawkeye and BJ dressed Jack down to make sure he stays on the ground. They took his wings, his lieutenant bars, and his insulin. Despite winning Chopper Pilot of the Year, Dangerous Dan his rival beats him again and brings back four wounded in two trips. Jack is then loaded onto the bus and sent off to Seoul to be put in the brig.
