Post; Don't Shoot!


OUR SEABEE TEAM in Vietnam had worked long after dark, and I ended up walking back to our Marine camp alone and unarmed. Then, in the silence, I heard the metallic clack of the bolt of an M-30 machine gun loading a live round of ammunition. "Halt! Who goes there?" came the Marine sentry's sharp challenge.

My mind froze, and I yelled, "Don't shoot!" Desperate, not even able to think of my name or rank, I finally blurted, "Friend! Friend! Seabee! Seabee!"

Laughing, the Marine allowed a very shaken Seabee to pass.
