"Let 'em come, baby," Bobby said with a wink towards Buck. "Bobby D. got something for their asses."

He was glad he was working the pig. It was heavy enough that it acted as an anchor for his body. He knew Buck got the shakes when the shit got heavy and who the fuck wouldn't? If not for the pig Bobby would look like he had epilepsy he would shake so bad. Jack Johnson helped hide his fear. The skinny guy with the big gun and even bigger mouth who told everyone that his first act back home would be to do Lynda Bird Johnson in the Oval Office, right in front of her daddy. LBJ fucked all of us, he told them, so Imma fuck his daughter. The truth was that as soon as he got home he would kiss the ground and never ever fucking leave St. Louis again.

"I'm good," he told Buck after he made sure the ammo belt still had plenty of rounds. "Jack's ready to chew up the next round of Dinks."

"My man," Bobby said as Buck provided him cover fire.

He had the Pig loaded up and ready. Jack Johnson is what he called it. It was big, black, and it knocked motherfuckers the fuck out. With the belt properly fed, Bobby waited until the rest of the rifles were reloading before he broke out the covering fire into the bush. His ears were still ringing from the crash, but that felt like a month ago thanks to Charlie's bullshit. Buck had his back, popping off the shotty while another grenade exploded and sent those dinky dau motherfuckers running for it.

I didn't use a picture, but I pretty much tried to describe Laurence Fishburn from Apocalypse Now as Bobby D.

Physical Description:

Bobby D. is nineteen but looks fourteen with his baby smooth face and pimply complexion. His skin is a rich, coffee-colored with a smattering of freckles around his eyes. Bobby's very skinny, just barely above the Army's minimum weight requirement. He has put on weight since carrying the Pig around has improved his upper body strength. He has gap teeth that he shows whenever he smiles or grins.

Skillset:

Bobby has a sharp intellect but that is often hidden by his constant joking
As a trained gunner Bobby is a expert at maintaining high rates of fire at the cost of accuracy

History:

Bobby D. grew up in St. Louis as the youngest of three children. His father, Bob Sr., served in World War II. Despite his parent's attempts to keep him straight Bobby ran around with a local gang of toughs. Bobby chose to be rebellious instead of use his natural intelligence to try and make something of himself. He skipped school, drank, smoked, and did drugs. He was in and out of juvie for petty offenses until he turned seventeen. Six months before his eighteenth birthday he was caught trying to hot-wire a car. Brought in front of a judge he was given a choice: ten years in state prison as an adult, or six months in juvie until he turned eighteen. After that he would be released into the Army's recognizance. He traded prison gray for army green. After a rough stint in basic, Bobby learned to keep his mouth shut and shipped out to 'Nam as a machine gunner.

Bobby D. has a reputation as a class clown among the men and often speaks in the third person.

Equipment:

M60 Machine gun he calls Jack Johnson because "It's big, black, and knocks motherfuckers out."
Aviator sunglasses
Combat helmet with "B.A.M.F" stenciled on one side, and "El BJ" stenciled on the other.

I'll throw my interest in here. Thinking of playing a gunner on one of the Huey's that went down.
