The Ambush

Today we were put on "ambush duty" Perry and I were covering the back, when they first cong showed himself, he was turning a claymor around. Fortunately Perry was an idiot and put it backwards

Fought A Cong

I went into the hooch to try to find me comb, there was a little fellow sitting in there, I assumed he was a friendly....... I was wrong, he asked me for a smoke, so I gave him one, and we sat there talking for a while. Suddenly the little guy jumped on me and started reaching for my piece. I managed to hold him off just long enough for the Sgt. to come in and get him off me. They took him away, I don't know where......

First Loss

Today we lost our first man, we were out on rounds just checking things out, everything went fine until we were returning to base. The fool stepped on a landmine and got blown to pieces, I feel kinda bad for the poor guy, but I'm sure glad it wasn't me...... I'd hate to die before I killed me some Congs

The Trip In

On the trip in we stopped in Alaska for a bit, I was ready for some action but it was just more waiting around. We then flew into Japan, and guess what..... more waiting, we finally got flown into Nam where we spent forever standing around waiting some more. On the bright side, I met a guy named Perry, he seems alright, a little scared to be here though.....then again, we all are.
