'Mr. Clean', a black 17-year-old from 'some South Bronx shit-hole'; and the Engineer from New Orleans, Jay 'Chef' Hicks (Frederic Forrest), who Willard describes as 'wrapped too tight for Vietnam, probably wrapped too tight for New Orleans'. The PBR arrives at a landing zone where Willard and the crew meet up with L
