True Story of a Quiet Professional.

[QRQ 30]

I just made my first and probably last sojourn to the SOCNET. Seeing the general BS over there I thought I;d tell a little story:

I had just been assigned to FOB-2 (SOG) in January of 1968 and was at the "Safe House" in Danang waiting to fly out the next morning. I was sitting at a table all "Wide ehed and bushy tailed" listening to another trooper telling combat stories to me and a couple of other "cherries". All of a sudden, a slight built man got up from the bar, picked up a sateel pot, walked over and cold cocked the story teller right out of the chair. He didn't say a word but just went back to the bar and continued drinking.

I went up to the soldier and asked what that was all about. The trooper explained that the story teller was a COMCEN specialist and hadn't ever been out of the TOC on an operation. He had all of the good stories from reading the AARs.

The Quiet Professional was Fred Zabitowski, MOH who later became a good friend.
