Show OHI E&G Aguayo 3-4-85 s 2 :ll at night, you know, just - j ust - be securit y . I took one out one day. About oh maybe ten - of these new people . And they were pretty good going out in the morning. And t hen we were coming back, and all we had to do was climb back up t op of the hill to where - to our camp. On top. And they started getting real relaxed. Joking and walking a::-ound. I kept trying to -- you know, I couldn't even separate them.They had their little groups you know walking up there, just goingback up there. And they started scaring me. Because I didn't want to be with them, making al'l that noise. And then they were' tpaying attention. SO we were going up one gully, like that, so I left them. I went over to the next gully. I figured, well, if they'renot looking, maybe I can look over there. And I was going up this gully. And I remember looking down across them, they were comingup. Walking and ~lking.Just fooling around. And I happened to look down this gully. (laughs) And th.ere were about 5 or 6 - I think 6 Japanese in there. You know, they weren't doing nothing. I think bey would have let us go by. becuase I could see them, you know, they were undecided like what to do. Theycouldn't figure. But all their attention was over here on this bunch, _coming -up, -t}l.e_y-we~ making all the noise. You know, see, that's what they were doing. But I couldn't take the chance. I opened fireon them. (laughs) And I started yelling to the other guys - to get busy, to do something. Lay down or something you know. I stood- I - I -I shot I did my clip at them. By t hat time, the other ones came across and they finally woke up. |
