“We finished a sweep of an area in the jungle looking for a weapons cache, ended up at Vung Tau playing in the ocean for a day or two. We were restricted to the beach area and town was off limits. So guess where I and a few others where?  They marched us hard to get there, a forced march in the sand.  I think the C.O. wanted us to work hard for the pleasure.”
