[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2453484, member: 101791"] In Vietnam I sleep on top of an Armor Personal Carrier. (APC) for about 7 months. I learned to sleep very light. I would hear the mortars being fired at us. I would be down inside the APC and have the top deck lid closed before they hit. Never could remember to howler income. I always sleep fully cloths and boots on. Being I was with a Cav. unit, we generally had plenty of water. So we could get clean up in the evening or late afternoon. I remember one night at a fire support base, that some rockets came in. Just over my head. That night I didn't like where we were put the Medic Track. So I sleep on the ground. As the rockets came in, I for whatever reason got up and ran around to the other side of the Track. I still ponder why even now. I should have stayed on the ground where I was at, instead of exposing myself by standing up. Dumb, and Stupid too all the same time. That was generally how you got killed, or you were slow to react. One of my guys walked up on a machinegun position and turned sideways to run. He took 3 rounds in vandlear tied around his waist. (can't spell). Talk about being quick and thinking. As they would say "In A Heart Beat". [/QUOTE]
