Sample Book Insights: #1 The helicopter pilot was flying towards the medical pad at Camp Holloway in Pleiku, Vietnam. He had to handle the radios, which were constantly filled with unintelligible bullshit. #2 During a mission, I learned that the boy was alive when we got him back to the medical pad with the others, but I wasn’t in a position to learn his identity so I don’t know if he made it or not. #3 My first mission in Vietnam was a sensory overload. I was shocked by the amount of noise and activity that was going on around me, and I was completely overwhelmed. I thought, This is not how I imagined it at all. #4 I had been a student at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois, a year and a half before I was drafted. I had applied for a student loan through the Illinois Student Loan Program and was working at a factory that manufactured oil, air, and gas filters for automobiles. I was ordered to report for duty in just a few short weeks.
