Below are some quotes I picked up over the years. I'll add more as they come to me.
"There ain't no wrong time to do it right."
"Sometimes you will win and sometimes you will lose. The trick is to learn how to win from your loss."
"In the face of scrutiny, admit to nothing and lie about everything else."
"Will Rogers once said, 'I never met a man I didn't like.' He wasn't an enlisted man in Vietnam when he said it."
"Son, have you ever seen a Cajun filled with fire water to go one on one with Charlie Cong. It ain't pretty for Charlie Cong."
"Lord help us if we ever had an Italian Master Sergeant as our master cook. We've be served spaghetti and meatballs, everyday instead of roast beef."
"I'm just here on vacation."
"I hate being here, I just love the women."
You been sitting in a perfectly good helicopter at flight idle for the last 5 minutes. Pilot jumps back in. "Didn't you hear what I said? I said incoming. Should I get out now?"
When the rotor blades of an OH-6 departed from helicopter, a single pilot, calm as hell said, while staring death eye to eye, "Tell my wife I love her."
"Anyone body know what's for dinner?", a Cherry once asked. Everyone else past one month said in harmony, "Beef Stew." He felt all alone in the chow line.
The First Sergeant asked of his new soldiers, "Anyone know what the words non-potable means?"
"You can't smoke pot there?"
A month goes by and he's in front of some more new soldiers, "Anyone know what the words non-potable means?"
A voice not too far away with a paddle in his hands, alerts the men, "Don't say 'You can't smoke pot there. You'll be burning shit along with me for the rest of your time in Vietnam."
Another month goes by and he's in front of some more new soldiers, "Anyone know what the words non-potable means?"
A voice not too far away with a paddle in his hands, alerts the men, "Don't say 'You can't smoke pot there. You'll be burning shit along with me for the rest of your time in Vietnam."
"And with me,' said another soldier, "I laughed at him when he said he found out the the hard way and drank from non-potable."
"When I signed up to be a field sanitation specialist, they didn't tell me there would be no running water."
"The nozel goes into the fuel tanks, not into the cockpit."
"What do you mean there's no wine available?"
"How many times have I got to tell you, that ain't the way to do it?"
"As many times as the way you say it sound humorous to me."
"Go find me a bolt expander." Said to new mechanics too dumb to realize there was no such thing.
"Sergeant, it is too hot for me to do anything but go back to bed." This one never worked out the way the soldier thought it would.
"I signed up to be a mechanic and get a college education," complained a soldier who was toled to pick up a hooch maid.
"You get in that jeep and I promise you'll be getting a college education called Course 1 on highway 1."
The general asked an E-1 why was he in Vietnam. The E-1 said, "I'm here to kill the yellow man."
The general ordered the man arrested immediately.
When the E-1's commanding officer heard what happened, he said, "I'm sorry, sir, he meant to say, 'I'm here to kill the Viet Cong.'"
The E-1 didn't realize he was talking to an AVN general officer who was also a yellow man.
"This is the only place where I've been in the world where you can get killed standing in the same spot for a year. "
"Dead men can't follow orders."
"I was to young to be that smart and to old to be that stupid."
"I hate following orders doggy style."
"Doesn't anyone have an ounce of common sense?"
"Sorry, Sarge, it left on the last C-130 headed for Da Nang."
"I'll pay $5,000 dollars to the man who brings me chicken man's head to me on a shit stick."
"They dry your clothes with cow manure."
"Why cultivate around your mouth what grows naturally around your ass?"
"Boy, you are a body bag waiting to happen."
"Helicopters want to crash, planes want to fly."
"Have you lost your mind?"
"Can I plead on the 5th?"
"Sticks and Stones break my bones, sex has surely deserted me."
Ashu Valley, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me"
"Its hard to fly by the seat of your pants when its full of lead."
"Resistance is pointless."
"I suppose a refund is out of the question."
