Whole process takes less than two minutes. As the bird lifts off, I spot the CP and pull Royal along. HE wants to get back on the ship. Not a bad idea, Puddin'. That's where I'd like to be.
Heart rate starts to drop, sounds of the chopper drift off into nothingness.
Familiar smells of jungle and sweating men smack me in the face. CO, his RTO and a squad leader are the first I encounter. Got to get to the night laager before dark. Couple clicks away. No time for bullshit.
