I had 335 confirmed NVA and Viet Cong kills in Nam using nothing but my grandfather's Scrimshaw bone handled straight razor. I would sneak into their barracks at night and slit every throat while they were sleeping.

HMMM....that story is hard to believe because you were an Air Force Medic....now if you had been a Navy Hospital Corpsman maybe....


I have it on good authority that you were in charge of handing out basketballs at the Da Nang base gym....

I only went in the gym once when I was over there.

It was either at Cam Rahn or DaNang, I forget.

I was thinking about maybe lifting some weights.

When I got there there were four or five big black dudes taking turns bench pressing 300 plus lbs.

I thought about asking them "Hey guys, would you mind if we took off a couple of hundred lbs so I can do a set?

But I decided not to.

I never went back.
