Willem Dafoe from "Platoon" is 95 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, older than Phoebe, my wife. If you turn that around, it becomes 3-3-5-9. I assume this casting device was created to reflect that my family had a funeral service for me on 11/25/1986, thinking I had been killed on 4/14/1986. This movie, "Platoon" was released either on Friday, 12/19/1986 or Wednesday, 12/24/1986. The character Dafoe portrays was betrayed by another soldier and then killed by the enemy before he could get back to the helicopter. I have been thinking that this movie also contains references to my actual experiences in the Vietnam War, but it was produced to represent the conflict I was fighting in Africa at the time. I think the 1991 "Flight Of The Intruder" where he portrays "Tiger Cole" also reflects my captivity as a POW in Libya in 1986 as the enemy was using him as a shield at the end of the movie.

Platoon (1986)
Release Date: 24 December 1986 (USA)
This movie opens with a guy digging holes in a desert and I think it basically reflects my escape across the desert in 1986 and 1987. The movie was released, I assume, to create a 3-5-9 connection to my escape across Africa. The premiere date was on a Friday, as are most movies in the U.S., and the next
From 4/14/1986 to 6/9/1989 is: 3 years, 56 days (Friday)
From 4/14/1986 to 6/12/1989 is: 3 years, 59 days (Monday)

This album was released 33 months, 3 days, after the USS Stark FFG-31 was hit on 5/17/1987, but I think that "When The Lights Go Out" has something to do with me escaping that Libyan prison on 4/14/1986.
From 5/17/1987 to 2/20/1990 is: 33 months, 3 days

Released February 20, 1990
Dark at the End of the Tunnel is the sixth studio album by Oingo Boingo, released in 1990. It is the first collection of all new material released by the band since their 1987 album BOI-NGO. It is also notable as the first record to find the band shying away from the previously heavy use of New Wave elements with more emphasis on a heavy, Modern Rock sound.

When The Lights Go Out
When the lights go out
Everybody has fun
When the lights go out
Everybody runs to a safe place
When the lights go out
Everybodys afraid
When the lights go out
Everybody starts to pray
Starts to pray
Monsters & madmen
All come alive
When the dead start walking
Theres no place to hide
Theres no place to hide
Chorus
Hey--lets turn the night into day
Lets start a fire in an alley way
Lets all go crazy by & by
And lets all pray to the cats eye
No one can be trusted, when the lights go out
People act real crazy, people start to shout
People huddle together, try and hide their fear
People party down by they aint goin nowhere
They aint goin nowhere
Gonna run outside
Whats there to see
Just one big shadow there to comfort me
There to comfort me . . . there to comfort me
Chorus
Just common folks like you and me
Turn into mobs that get so crazy
Prowl the streets like cats
Out for the hunt
Breaking all the windows just because its fun
Just because its fun, just because its fun
