You know, you could have submitted yourself for a Purple Heart. After 3 accidents you could have got yourself sent home.
No, by accidentally starting that grease fire, I submitted myself for a week of burning out latrines.
Our first sergeant told me Vietnam was dangerous enough without adding my own foolishness to the mix. He bitched me out really good, and made sure I understood that he did not want to have our CO write any more letters home than absolutely necessary.
Wasn't happy about getting chewed out.
But, looking back, I learned something important from it.
