- I am now
at 31 and a wake-up! And the shorter I get, the longer it seems! Crap!
Soc Trang got shelled at about 0300 this morning, and it really got to
me! Of course, nothing came near the MACV House and Compound, but there
were a couple shells hit the city, and obviously, Charlie got away before
the choppers could spot him.
But, we were up on top the senior advisor's house in our alert position until 5. And, I am at that time when I am really worried about getting hit before going home. I really understand why the pilots flying me around the Delta after TET kept flying higher and higher, until they left.
Days are still boring!
Only "friend" I have left is Joel, and he pissed me off at dinner. Seems his DEROS is early enough, that he is going to get a few days drop, so he can be home before Christmas! Damn, why can't I get a drop, so I can be home for Chanukkah?
So, anyway, Joel is about finished. We go to Australia on R&R next week, and when we get back on the 19th or 20th, he heads for Saigon, and that big freedom bird!
Did I ever tell you life aint fair?
