The parade at  Tuy  Hoa AFB again. This job showed what type of guy CWO Arthur Durham was. I'd been Charge of Quarters the night before and had some excitement. Exhausted the next morning I forgot my instrument. His reaction was, "You've got your weapon, right?" Me, "Yes, sir." Durham, "Well, guard the bus Lathan." That was the end of it!
