Me 3

The lenses in my glasses must have been stolen from a Coke bottle factory

I weighed 205 pounds when I arrived in Vietnam and most of me was muscle from Army training and some fat. I returned home at 145 pounds but within a week my weight was on the rise. The custom tailored suits I had made in Vietnam did not fit after 30 days. The ongoing sandbag filling and moving artillery ammunition in the heat and humidity of Vietnam took every spare gram of body weight. Celebrating, not working and getting plenty of sleep put on pounds rapidly. I have not been that fit and trim since.
