Ban Me Thout, August 1968

This is me sitting on my bunker. When this photo was taken, my time as Platoon Leader of 1st Platoon in Company C had come to an end. I was off to be XO of E Company.

 

My pack. I was really impressed with all this boy scout camping gear, until I got my ass kicked a couple of times; then didn't take many more photos of it.

 

My pack and gun.
