I always remember my last three days before the sent me to Vietnam. Last day at NTC San Diego, I was up at 0600 and assigned to spend eight hours "policeing" the yards; picking up trash and cigarette butts all day long. The next day we were flown to Travis AFB. After a night in the barracks there we were awoken around 0900 by an airman who said "Your flight isn't until late this afternoon. Want to see the base?" We spent a hard day looking at airplanes and hangers, and mostly just lounging around.
