JCook-109.JPGLooking more like a war zone now149 viewsBattery Commander Osborne has the troops in formation for a message. Probably told them to bathe more often. You can now see the glimmer and shine of stateside OD uniforms give way to continuous field duty. Certainly not how we started out!

JCook32.JPGAlong Route 14147 viewsI am thinking this picture is early and probably is an "EARLY" attempt at building fox holes. We never had any training in Hawaii on foxhole digging. But we had to dig the BC's hole and the XO's in Hawaii. Lack of training shows here - I think we put it up for show and not survival. Again this early in Nam and might even be among the FIRST hole ever dug.
