Beschreibung

40 ways to get killed without seeing combat came about when we lost two guys in boot camp. I thought at that time "Do the mother's of these guys get a flag?"
I quickly learned that you did not have to be on the battlefield to have a chance of getting killed. All you have to do is put on the uniform. I did two WesPac tours of duty during the "Nam" era. I found the repair ship, the U.S.S. Delta to present its own type of danger along with its crew. Love it as you may but, it is still an iron ship bobbing up and down in a big ocean. The hostile crews of the other ships that tied along side for repair presented their own danger to anyone who was not alert. Each port an adventure in itself. You have to learn quickly and be light on your feet at all times. Some of my rules: 1. Never take the last bus back to the base. 2. Never fall in love with whores. ,,,
