New Year’s Eve
1969
I’m leaving tomorrow for Okinawa for FAC school. I didn’t get any mail today so I guess it’ll be about two weeks before I get any more mail.
We just found out today that we have to be there by 1300 on the 3rd, so we have to leave here tomorrow to be sure of getting there on time. We will go to Danang for further transportation.
I flew twice today. Once with the pilot who got shot down last Sunday. I flew the hop before he was shot down with him, and now I’ve flown the next hop afterwards. I’m glad I missed the one in the middle!! Both of those guys will get Purple Hearts. I flew tonight with O.J.
We’re supposed to have a big New Year’s celebration tonight at the club. A combo from the Americal Division was playing, but they were so bad I left to go take a shower. I’ll go back over there after awhile, I suppose, to see in the New Year.
A truce is in effect, now, from 1800 tonight until 1800 tomorrow night. During that time we’ll fly no combat missions in South Vietnam.
