Curtis just what
Do you want from the AF. Basically the VA quantified your claim by giving you PTSD benefits for what most of us consider a trivial incident. I just dont understand most of us would consider the incident as you have described it as a fun night out. Not trying to shoot you down but just don't get it.

Curtis..
Now that I've read the former LT's/Lt.Col's note.....you need to focus on today, your new family, and put this in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile. You are NOT going to get what you feel you need from the Air Force. Remember what we talked about.
Pack Sid...did I tell you about the mango incident in Nha Trang?

Bob and Sid
I can explain. I was hit by a RPM. (B-40 Rocket Propelled Mango) while walking in down town Nha Trang. Had just transferred to MACV HQ and was awaiting my assignment to the 9th ROK Inf. Div. Went into town wearing my Boonie Hat with a big Cav patch on the top when I heard the unmistakable sound of the RPM. It glanced off my head then slammed into a poltry and egg stand showering me with fragments. One large egg shell fragment imbedded in my hip and another in the thigh. (Thus my Purple Heart) I saw the perp trying to load another Mango into the launcher and attacked him with my M1911AI Papaya Pistol, thus twarting another attack and saving the lives of more poltry, born and unborn. (Thus, my Silver Star. Just 1, Conners exagerrates a bit) I cannot go by the fruit or dairy section of the grocery store even today. I once vomitted at the site of a Claxton Fruit Cake at the Christmas supper table.

Oh Yeah...I suppose you think that was something....Well let me tell you what I did. During a convoy break, I singlehandly walked up to a water buffalo with my trusty M-ou812 military issued homemade slingshot and planted a 45cal rock right between its horns not realizing that sumbitch can go from 0 to 30 in 10 ft or less, those horns were mere inches from my family jewels. Maintaining my cools, I made a hard left between 2 trucks where this oversized beast-of-burden couldn't fit.... For these actions I received the ABM Citation (Army bowel movement citation)

ABM Citation
Well I suppose you did that for shits and grins. Well I have never been known to bragg about my SOG times butt .... once I slipped outside of the wire at Quan Loi and killed 19 VC with a bamboo toothpick. The next day after cleaning my teeth with it I got the nickname of Death Breath. The VA only gave me 10%PTSD for that saying it was a dental problem.

This is why
nobody questions the "fruit salad" I wear above my left pocket. I definately earned it. Mango leaf clusters and all.
