Having flunked out of college, Mike's lifelong buddy Boner (Andrew Koenig) decides that the time has come to redirect his life. As a result, he joins the Marines--and in so doing sparks a bitter quarrel between himself and Mike (Kirk Cameron). The problem isn't resolved until Jason (Alan Thicke) observes that at least Boner is planning for the future...more than he can say for Mike! This episode marks the final appearance of series regular Andrew Koenig. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
