I recognize the date 5/28/1982 as when the Class of 1982 officially graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy. I haven't been able to verify that date but it is consistent with other class graduation dates I've found. I was confused about it for a long time until I began to think that I graduated the previous month so I can deploy with British allies as a U.S. Navy observer of the Falklands War.
This may also be the reason Microsoft-Corbis sent me to Las Vegas with Ken Fagan Cavallon a few years ago. I was watching this movie on television a few months ago, for the first time I can remember seeing it in the last 9 years, although I "remember" watching it in my artificial memory, and I noted a scene where "Rambo" was talking about how he and his buddy were going to Vegas on leave. That scene reminded me of walking around Las Vegas and Ken Fagan Cavallon was telling me about a time he took leave from the Army and spent it there in Vegas. I also find myself thinking of how the NV postal code reminds me of North Vietnam, as well as the word 'envy.'
I also noted a while back, based on what I remember him saying at Microsoft, and then what I found on the internet that seems to be by him, the time he changed his last name from Fagan to Cavallon. He said he didn't want his kids picked on because his last name was a derivative of the slang term "fag." I noted also that Ken Fagan Cavallon was a look-alike of the serial killer John Wayne Gacy, which led me to observe that Gacy's last name is pronounced "GAY see."
That place was a goddamned zoo.

I opened a checking account with Bank of America back in 2002 and I cannot believe it is coincidence the pin number they assigned me was 7938. That is the same as Brian Dennehy's birthday. After I wrote about that one time in my journal, I read about some Bank of America suit resigning, which happens a lot.

First Blood is the first film featuring the character of troubled Vietnam War veteran John Rambo. It starred Sylvester Stallone as Rambo, Brian Dennehy as Sheriff Will Teasle, and Richard Crenna as Col. Samuel Trautman.
Based on a 1972 David Morrell book of the same name, the film (which differs from the book in many areas) was directed by Ted Kotcheff, produced by Mario Kassar and Andrew G. Vajna, and released on Friday, October 22, 1982.
The film centers on John Rambo, a former member of an elite Special Forces unit in Vietnam and Medal of Honor recipient. Rambo has difficulty adjusting to civilian life and wanders the country as a drifter. The film begins as he is seeking out his friend Delmar Barry, apparently the only other Special Forces member from his unit to make it out of Vietnam alive.
Rambo finds out from Barry's widow that he died from cancer due to Agent Orange exposure, and she is clearly very upset that she lost the man she loved and is also left to eke out a meager existence on her own. Rambo, in an attempt to offer some cold comfort to her, gives her the photograph of her husband's unit. This also hurts Rambo deeply as now he realizes that he is the "last man standing" from his unit. Left to continue drifting, Rambo runs afoul of Will Teasle, the sheriff of a small Washington State mountain resort town called Hope (set in Hope, WA. - filmed in Hope, British Columbia). Teasle drives Rambo out of town while telling him the people of Hope don't appreciate people of his kind; drifters. When Rambo asks if there is someplace that he can eat around here Teasle says that there is a place about 30 miles up the highway. Rambo is dropped outside of town but heads back, refusing to be forced out. Teasle becomes very angry and arrests Rambo for vagrancy, resisting arrest, and carrying a concealed weapon, a large survival knife, which he claims is for hunting 'The Enemy'.
Teasle brings him back to the station, where he is beaten by Art Gault, the sheriff's sadistic head deputy. Some of the officers are sympathetic, but ignorant or meek. Teasle then roars at Rambo that he is on his way to stand before an unsympathetic judge and is looking at spending time in the county jail, but that he will not be scruffy when he is in court. During the beatings, Rambo has flashbacks to his time as a prisoner of war. The sight of a straight razor brings to mind horrible torture and causes Rambo to have a psychotic break, probably triggered by PTSD, common among Vietnam vets. He violently dispatches the officers with nothing but his hands, runs upstairs, grabs his knife, escapes from the police station, and heads into the mountains on a stolen motorcycle. Teasle gives pursuit in his police car, which is overturned after an extended chase. Rambo eludes Teasle and flees into the hills.
The deputies go after Rambo on foot, aided by a pack of Doberman pinschers, forcing him to climb down a steep cliff overlooking a river gorge to elude capture. Deputy Gault, ignoring Teasle's orders to capture Rambo, attempts to murder Rambo from a passing helicopter while he is trapped on a ledge. Rambo drops into a mass of trees, badly cutting himself, and is cornered by the helicopter again. He throws a rock at it, causing it to pitch heavily and dropping Gault into the gorge, killing him (despite the film's reputation of being overly violent, this is the only person who is clearly killed in the entire movie). Teasle is enraged at his friend's death, and vows to stop Rambo. When one of the deputies reasons with Teasle that Gault might have earned his fate due to his abusive behavior, Teasle talks down to the deputy and cites his inexperience and youthfulness means he is a know-nothing.
Teasle leads his deputies into the woods in an attempt to capture Rambo. The deputies are inexperienced and fight amongst themselves, making them easy targets. Rambo disables the deputies using guerrilla war tactics but doesn't kill any of them. Rambo then confronts Teasle, knife to his throat; "In town you're the law, out here it's me."
