Battlefield Slang

[BILLY D.]

Did you guys have shortimers Ribbons. The ribbon came from a bottle of VO. At 90 days it simply ran through a button hole, at 60 days it was knotted and at 30 days it was made into a bow.

Charley=zipperhead. Dr. Pepper time, 10-2-4. usually when rocket attacks were scheduled by the VC at night. 10 we were getting drunk, 2 we were sleeping it off and 4 we were really torqued and hungover. VC never to my knowledge tried to over run an American Air Base if they did they would have run into a bunch of really ticked off drunks. Beside that we had a detatchmet of ROK'S defending the perimeters. I never seen one of them leave an NCO club sober. They were some mean SOB'S when fighting the VC.

How about "No Tickee, NO Lanlee".

How about the World famous P-38 and a Church Key. No way to live without those two great implements. Even though a Randall knife would open cans and such quite handily. Also seen Randalls used for field surgery. If God made anything better than a Randall and Women he kept it to Himself.

Best wishes, Bill
