Sat June 27th our Tac Ops Center was told we had to send someone on outpost duty because the other HQ offices were unhappy our people were exempt.
I had been once already, but I had just finished training a new clerk as my backup so they told me to packup and go, then George walked out of the room where his drafting and cartography gear was and announce he had all work for the next two weeks done and he hadn't been on outpost duty (until then is was week long vacation, guard at night and sleep all day) plus he wanted to see if they had followed his blue prints for he new bunkers. As an E-5 he would command one of the bunkers.
If George had walked into the office a minute or two later I would have been gone and Line77 on Panel 35E of the Vietnam Wall might have been my name, or... Who knows maybe if I had been there instead of George I might have spotted the incoming VC Sapper squad in time to stop them. I will never know.
