Price_Reunion_9.jpgReunion Photos - Dave Price134 viewsAh...the great memories of the FDC tools we used in Vietnam. The only thing missing is the CONEX container that provided a 24-hr protected work environment. Without that, the FDC would be out of commission and unable to operate with the weather extremes found in the jungle. The "tent FDC" shown was a "first effort", but very untenable; we would be chasing maps and papers all over the place.

Snow_Hall.JPGGunnery 101 taught here134 viewsYessir...we all know where Snow Hall is located. Back in our day, the interior of Snow Hall had a distinctive odor the minute you walked in. It wasn't good or bad, just kinda "earthy" smelling...something you would always recognize and remember. Well, gents...I'm here to tell you that THE "SMELL" IS GONE!" Perhaps it was a new air conditioning system or many new coats of paint, but the "smell" is no more!

Danny_-John_Wayne-_Fort.jpg46 years earlier...134 viewsNot much change, eh?
The FDO wouldn't wear his .45cal, so when we moved, I usually did. Other times, it set on the FADAC if someone wasn't wanted in the FDC. So, it was handy to have around. It sent a message.
