Its funny now, but at the time I was scared shitless. The gas alarm spread far and wide and soon I think I had everyone in southern Iraq in gas masks. Now remember, this was before we knew the chemical weapons was just a bunch of BS. It burned my eyes and tasted like bleach. Anyways, I was sitting by the door in our OPs tent when some white dust came in over the flap.
#MAN OF WAR VIETNAM OFFICER HUT MISSION 2 SKIN#
A lot of very drunk Marines proceeded to skin it in someones shower and run around with different body parts and rubbing blood on our faces like some kind of drunken sacrifice. We once had a guy shoot a deer with a bow on base (not legal where he was at) and bring it back to the barracks. OCDforMeĪny night in infantry barracks is the craziest story. The next thing we know, the prostitute starts screaming “My EYE! MY EYE! YOU CUM IN MY EYE!” and she peels out of the room running down the hall with her hand over her eye yelling “It burns! IT BURNS!” Classic Okinawa. We were out in the “waiting area” and he was taken to a room RIGHT NEXT to where we were sitting. We got him liquored up, took him out to the place and he got a woman. A few guys pitched in money to get him laid in a whore house. NSFW – Had a new guy join the unit a week before we left for six months in Okinawa. Subsequent to a warning that all Marines must wear flak and kevlar when outdoors, one Marine strode around the barracks wearing nothing but said flak and kevlar.Īll of this was happening in broad daylight, at about 4 in the afternoon.Another Marine wake-boarding along a retention pond while being towed by a truck driving along the edge.
#MAN OF WAR VIETNAM OFFICER HUT MISSION 2 DRIVER#
I have a bad habit of running my mouth and I didn’t think spending alot of time with the Lt was a good idea so I declined saying, “I would sir, but I hear your driver is so bad that he voids my life insurance policy and my folks would really need the money.” He laughed and walked away.
A couple of hours before we go on mission the Lt asks me if I’d like to fill in for my friend and be his gunner. A few months into our tour my friend gets two weeks leave, he was assigned as the gunner on my Lt’s Humvee.
