as the ones of you in here that i have spoken with know I "lost" E4 twice while I was in the service.....with that in mind............................... We were sortied out early one morning....0530....and told to head for route pack 1. While we were in route the powers that be brought us up to speed on who were we after and where they were. It turned out a fast FAC had gone down near an area known as Bat lake. The on scene people had made contact and verified who was down. As we reached our orbit area we were listening on guard to the conversation between fly boys and the pilot on the ground. We could not go in because of heavy groundfire, he was begging for us to come and get him.( at this point i will have to say that we didnt get him they did) After we returned to Base, the ramp gunner,crew chief,and myself was walking to the ready shack for some coffee. ( at this point let me explain....to anyone who has seen combat you know what i mean by getting ramped up mentally). I couldnt un wind..... i was still dressed for the bush, war paint doo rag camos,weapons and M3 bag. iI was set upon by a butter bar because he noticed when i pulled my doo rag off that my hair was too long!
I told him that i had something in my bag that would explain it all,i reached in my bag and started to pull my hand out when he reached down to grab what i had in my hand.......... The dumb **** grabbed the frag grenade i had in my hand and before he could react i pulled the pin and threw it. ( at this point he has both hands wrapped around the greande).......... I wished 2nd LT "butter bar" a nice f__king day and walked into the ready shack. Im not sure what he did with it but about 5 minutes later 2 BIG SP's walked in and escorted me to the Co's office. Long story short , I lost E4 for the 2nd time but only for 90 days.
