SGT Don was in his rack in MARDET on the carrier after 24 hrs as duty NCO. Our main job was the weapons magazine security. If you pulled that duty you could sleep in , it ended at 0800 . Another SGT across from my bunk, a good friend , was sharpening his KABAR. He saw a fold of my blanket sticking out, you know those delightfully comfortable wool things they gave us. To test the edge he gave the blanket a good swipe. Problem was my left hand was inside.
I remember waking up with blood running everywhere and asked him what the hell he did. His response was he cut me and handed me a dirty sock to stop the blood......
I went to sick bay, had some kid about 18 years old sew it up, and lied about how it happened. Said I was opening a plastic package with a box cutter.
It was about 8 - 10 stitches if I remember right.
