I remember those days. Now add a pouring rainstorm that lasts for days on end. Then, to have to sit on the bank under a tarp eating a cold can of c-rations, like spaghetti. Yeah, the good old days.
I pity that poor dude holding his rifle in the air. You never knew what would come floating by.
Snakes! I was always watching for snakes, especially Cobras.never knew when you were going to step into a mortar hole when crossing.

Enlisted. 1st Marines out of Camp Lejeune. AIT (Advanced Infantry Training) in Lejeune. After we landed in Chu Lai, it was all downhill from there on. We were transported to Da Nang and then the Mekong Delta and then back to Da Nang.Who on this thread was drafted? Who enlisted?

Is this one of your personal photos? With that Huey in the background, it looks so authentic. I can't stop looking at it.
I copied that picture and sent it to one of the guy's in my Platoon that I still communicate with. He said the same as me. "That could have been us sitting there." I wrote back in the e-mail, "Yeah, that's exactly what I thought."Figured that would catch your eye. Took the pic at one of the firebase's (can't remember which one, Silva, verna, blackhorse???) Funny isn't it how people who were never there think you're exaggerating when talking about monsoon season. It truly was the sh*t.
