Congrats on the birthday. Never think you'll get there and then all of a sudden you're older...A lot older.
I was on Tan Son Nhut Airbase loading an airplane for deliveries. Miserable experience...but one I wouldn't trade anything for. Try to do something that really interests you. Getting drunk and howling is neat but frustrating..cause it ain't worth it. Try to do something that you will remember with your family. They'll remember it too!! Say hi to your mom for me. Just think of all the worry she and your father have put in over the years...just because of little ol you!

You'll find out I betcha
