Yeah, it did. I had that. Did I get it all cut? So I go back. I get my hair cut. And then I go to where the fatigues are. And there's these two rear area guys who were in storage fatigues. And it's this big warehouse. And I said, I'm here to get some fatigues. And they said, well, you need a chit signed by the colonel. I said, well, where's the colonel?

He said, well, he's up in Dong Ha, which is hundreds of miles north. And I said, well, I got to go back to the bush. And, you know, his pants are all ripped up. So they said... You know, brother, they'll hang us if we give them to you. So we can't.

So finally after, you know, it was useless arguing with those guys, I start walking back, and I start walking back, and I go through this area where there's the Quonset huts. Well, it must have been there. One of them was there in one of the Quonset huts. I opened the door up, and I go in, and it's like fucking Candyland in there.

So I take and open one of the lockers and it's got a brand new set of fatigues in it. I try them on, they fit me. I take mine off, put them on a hanger, hang them in there. And then I go ahead and I look on one of the mattresses, it's a rubber lady and an air mattress. Not a rubber lady like you get at the pad shop. What the fuck? Just a rubber lady.

So I take all the air out of it and then put it under my arm and then I take and start with all my new pockets. I start stuffing Marlboros and Winstons in it because those motherfuckers would take all the Marlboros and Winstons and then send us out like L&Ms and Sins. and cans and nasty-ass cigarettes. All the shit. So I go back, and these guys are saying, where the fuck you get that?

I said, never mind, I just got it. So I gave him some cigarettes and so forth, and I blew that rubber lady up. And so I only had it for like two days, and then I got wounded. So I'm going away, and they say, hey, Parsons, who gets your rubber lady? I said, you guys decide.

All right, well, the thing I remember the most is these guys driving me with no headlights on through these dirt roads, right, to get to the field hospital. And they had some country-western music going. I remember that. They were singing. I thought they were fucking loaded. And I didn't really give a shit, but, you know, they were— As long as they were there taking me.
