LD-1.JPGPopular Dog145 viewsLooks like we have yet another photo of "Short Round". Much talk and I think a special place on the 2/9th web site for pics of unit adopted dogs. Here is another. This dog had several names as I recall... "Short Round" being one of them, but he had others as well. Guy with him here was a Commo member, but I cannot recall his name. Possibly Terry. If I remember, he was a lineman. He arrived shortly before went home. By this time, I believe the 'ol hard-ass sarge was gone or at least not somewhere close enough to have influence. He would have never allowed boots to look like that! Note the the "urinator" and ammo boxes in the background. I think this was at Kontum...

Price_Reunion_8.jpgReunion Photos - Dave Price145 viewsVisit to the Ft Sill Museum: The FADAC - "Field Artillery Digital Analog Computer". It was the field artillery's first attempt to use a "computer" back in the 1960s for fire direction computation of deflection and quadrant elevation. It didn't prove itself at Ft Sill and neither in Vietnam. We were better with the training gained from spending weeks in Snow Hall.
