I want to be with those guys. I mean, they were my family, right? I loved them more than I ever loved a lot of mine. I mean, we were closer, even though it was just a month. So he said, okay. And he... He signed off. And the day that my orders come through to leave for the next day, a payroll record showed up. A payroll record showed up. And so he said, go off base. Enjoy yourself.

They might have given me $700, $800. I don't know how much they gave me. Might as well have been, you know, $20,000. You know, Okinawa beer was a dollar. You know, it's just do anything you want. I mean, it's just a lot of money. So I take in—you might have figured it out by now. I'm never much of a rule follower. Yeah, you figured that out? I'm figuring that out. Okay. All right. So I go off base.

I'm supposed to be back at midnight. It's about three in the morning. And I'm walking down the street. And it's raining like hell. It's almost coming down sideways. And there's a guy walking back up the other way, coming right towards me. It's Blackwell. It's that guy I saved during the first night. Are you serious? That serious. And he told me that was his third heart.

And he didn't have to go back. So he was in G2, which is orders and all that sort of stuff, intelligence. And he said, I can get you. The guy that runs this little printing press and goes back and forth and delivers orders, I can get you that job. He says, because the company Gunny and I are tight. And he said, and by then, I think he was staff sergeant. And... He says, I'll get it done.

And he says, when do you go back? And I said, I'm at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. And this is like 3 in the morning. He says, I don't think I can get it done that soon. And I said, brother, that's okay. That's okay, because I was kind of looking forward to seeing the guys anyhow. So... You know, we part. I tell him where I'm at, so forth. We part, and he goes this way. I go mine.

And he's going, why can't you be Packer? And I said, I'm going back. I just was in Vietnam. And I was wondering, I got to go back tomorrow. And I lost track of time.

And he goes, get him the fuck out of here. So they take me back. And I fall asleep. I slept for maybe an hour. And then I fall asleep, fall out with the hangover from B. Jesus L., And I had orders stationed on me. Blackwall got it done.
