** -I met him back in spring of 69 when I took a 3 day in country r&r to come see Kilpatrick **

That would have been late 1968, Al. We were still in the old hooches. I don't remember the knife thing, but I wonder if he was that jackass who shot himself in the foot, early 1969? Jumping off a jeep with a locked and loaded M-16? Can't remember his name, maybe Davey can.

He fast-drew a .45 on me at guard one night, I tole him he does it again, he wishes he had not. He did it again and into it we got. Even today I cannot look up the bore of a gun.
