The only time I had a real run-in with any of your buddies was in Vung Tau, Nam, and there again someone was looking out for me. On my second tour I had gone down there for a five day 0H-58 transition course. A classmate and I were in a bar after curfew. The two MPs who grabbed us took us to the MP station in the back of a 3/4 ton truck. They must have told the desk sergeant that we had not given them a hard time and they just drove us back to our quarters. Thought sure we were going under the jail that night.
A lot of my problems, or close to problems were around motorcycles,wine and the Post Commander's(2 Star)18 yr old daughter.
By the way we are all still friends to this day. So I might have had someone looking out for me. All this was between 76-78.
