In my early career as an A1C, I found myself in SEA assigned to the 18th SOS, TDY to Bien Hoa AB, out of NKP in support of the Easter Offensive as an Aerial Gunner. We kept fairly busy flying stories against An Loc & against the Trail. When we not flying, drinking or sleeping. Seems that drinking was my favorite past-time. So, one afternoon, several of us young, tired, hung-over Airmen thought we would practice our knife throwing skills against a small building outside our hootch. We were having a pretty good time drinking JD Black and throwing k-bars and every now & then sticking one. When all of a sudden some old grumpy person yells out, “Hey!!! Jim Bowie!!! Hold It Down. We’re Trying to Sleep!!!” On that note we just gathered up our liquor and went to bed, we were flying later that night.
