  • Heating soup - Phu Bai - '66. I still have that K-Bar knife. For the first 4 months we had nothing but C-Rats made in 1942. ! arrived in Nam weighing 165 at 5'-10". After 4 months of hellish heat and garbage C-rats, I was down to 128 lbs. The Doc told us to watch out for rust holes in the cans. He said don't open a can with a rust hole; that it would probably have Salmonella bacteria in it. I missed the rust hole hiding in the black printing stating made in 1942. I opened the can and black "Ham and Mother ****ers" were doing a slow boil all by themselves. I buried the full can in a cat hole.

  • My friends EA-3 Mike Wagner and PCSN Carroll Broussard built the pumpkin and I did the sign.<br /> <br /> Camp Adeniir, Danang, RVN, '67.<br /> <br /> MCB-7 recreated Charles Schultz's "Great Pumpkin" with wire mesh and an old parachute at the main entrance to our camp along Hwy 13. It was a traffic stopper with military vehicles and personnel stopping to admire and take photos.<br /> The photo looks like it was taken yesterday, and sometimes it seems as if it was yesterday.<br /> <br /> CAN DO.
