#### Tuesday

The book starts with Greg having his 25th birthday in his house. However, a newspaper comes in the mail and he sees that World War III has happened. He gets angry and throws that thing in the trash. Greg continues his business in the house until he sleeps. A few hours later, he wakes up but isn't in his house. He is in an army camp. Greg was weirded out since he didn't go to the Spag Union to become a military officer. To his surprise, he finds Rowley, being ranked as Sergeant. Rowley tells him that an army officer puts people into a deep sleep while the people are sleeping when they throw out the newspaper. Then they send them to the military base. Greg tries to tell Rowley something, but during their conversation was interrupted by an Army general, which was Chirag Gupta, startling Greg and Rowley. Chirag remembers Greg being in the school about a few decades prior and welcomes Greg with a salute. Then he explains how the United States Army worked. He told him about a lot of ranks, and he decided to rank Greg as Sergeant, like Rowley. Rowley tells him that he is printing Zoo-Wee Mama comics at his office, and his army friends are laughing about the comic and begin screaming "ZOO-WEE MAMA!" Just as Rowley was going to send Greg to his office, Chirag stopped him and told Greg he needed training. He was good at the obstacles and climbing ropes, and he knew how to use the gun properly. After a few months, he went back to Rowley's office. Rowley wasn't there, only Chirag. Chirag told Greg that Rowley was in a "secret mission" to uncover the lost gold of the Mayans, and soon Greg decided to rent an office. He also took a TV and video game controller to play Twisted Wizard in his office.

#### Thursday

Greg waited for the day he would go and fight enemies. Just as he was going to stand up to get a soda outside, he stubbed his toe. He found a miniature figure of a soldier. He knew it was one of the pieces Frank Heffley used for his Civil War diorama. Before he could pick it up, two large hands threw him to the ground. Greg sees Rodrick Heffley standing there, smiling. Greg asks why he is in his office. Rodrick is a corporal. Rodrick tells Greg that he met a guy in Cambodia who suggested he do the "poop trick". He farts Greg, angering him, and Greg picks up the telephone to Chirag Gupta's office. Chirag Gupta goes to Greg's office and tells Rodrick to stop messing with his army friend. Rodrick's jaw drops and he says that Greg is not his army friend, he is his brother and he just wanted to go to the army. Greg calls Rodrick a ploopy and he tells Rodrick that his diary smells funny. Rodrick takes it to smell, but Greg slaps it on Rodrick by closing it on his face. Greg gets sent to army detention.

#### Saturday

Its day 3 of Greg's army detention. Rowley visits Greg and tells him that Abigail Brown and Holly Hills are in the Girls' Scout. Rowley and Greg have a short talk and Chirag calls Rowley to the training field. Greg fakes being ill and sneaks to Rodrick's office, which was empty since Rodrick was in the training field with Rowley. When he enters his office, he found that Rodrick had a stack of Spineticklers, Underpants Bandits and Preston Platypus books. He stole 3 of the books and shipped them back to his room. Soon after Rodrick's training, Rodrick comes back into his office and grabs a Preston Platypus book. Greg comes back to his office, but finds out that there was a gift assigned to him. It was just a letter signed by Slick (Rowley), saying that to find Holly Hills. Greg dashes out of his office and runs towards the forest to the Girls' Scout camp. He jumps over a fence and crashes into a snack table. Just before he could get chased by the Girls' Scouts, he ends up smack into Holly Hills, causing her to loose her footing and crash to the ground. Just then, Greg's phone starts ringing. It was Frank Heffley, going to see him. Greg told that he was in the Girls' Scout camp, but he ends the call. Holly Hills doesn't know Greg but Greg slaps her and runs back to the army camp. Chirag Gupta declares Greg Heffley missing in action as Greg dashes out of the forest. Chirag recognizes Greg and adds 1 day to detention.

#### Sunday

Now Greg was stuck in the detention room with no games. He had already had the time of his life—he points his trusty gun to his head to end his life. Greg pulls the trigger and...

**BANG!**

Just kidding. Greg didn't die. Greg got startled by Rowley and he accidentally pulled the trigger that almost went through his head. It crashed into a wall about 23 inches away. Rowley tells
