Christmas '67
Christmas '67 came along and I was a platoon Sergeant in the !/27th Infantry (Wolfhounds). My platoon was protecting a fire support base with 5 105 howitzers on it. The afternoon mail came in and I received a package from some Franciscan Nuns that contained cookies (crumbled), popcorn and three orange juice cans with duct tape on the ends. There was also a can of BROWN Kiwi Polish in the package along with some pre-sweetened Kool-aid.
I opened an orange juice container and discovered tht it contained an airline bottle of Vodka. The other two cans also had Vodka in them.
Well, I mixed some of the Kool-aid with the three bottles of Vodka and had a good Christmas. When I was high, I shined my naked Jungle Boots with the BROWN Kiwi Polish. The first sergeant came to the field the next morning (Christmas) and kept shaking his head at my boots.
