:13:02
dig a foxhole, eat,
:13:04
then put out an all-night ambush
or a three-man listening post.

:13:08
It's scary cos nobody tells me
how to do anything, cos I'm new.

:13:12
Nobody cares about new guys.
They don't even wanna know your name.

:13:18
A new guy's life isn't worth as much
cos he hasn't put his time in yet.

:13:23
They say ifyou're gonna get killed
in the Nam,

:13:26
it's better to get it in the first few weeks.
:13:30
The logic being
you don't suffer that much.

:13:33
If you're lucky,
you stay in the perimeter at night.

:13:36
Then you pull a three-hour guard shift.
:13:39
Maybe you sleep three, four hours
a night... But you don't really sleep.

:13:52
I don't think I can keep this up
for a year, Grandma.

:13:57
I think I've made a big mistake
coming here.

:14:01
Mm-hm. We got boo-coo movement.
:14:08
Third Battalion just got hit
15 kliks north of here.

:14:13
Charlie had claymores
strung up in the trees,

:14:16
blew a whole fucking platoon to pieces.
:14:20
Bad shit.
:14:26
Yeah. They got two lieutenants
and a captain.

:14:31
Jesus!
:14:33
All right, Sergeant,
who do you want on ambush?

:14:38
Elias... you take your squad out.
:14:43
Warren, you stay in, but I'll need
Tex and Junior from your squad.

:14:47
- Roger that.
- OK, move out in two-zero mikes.

:14:52
- I thought it was O'Neill's turn.
- No! Tubbs and morehouse are short.

:14:57
Fu Sheng's on an R and R tomorrow, and
you wanna send them out on an ambush?
