JCook21.jpg"Base Camp" - Jan 1966121 viewsThis is our FDC location at Base Camp, Pleiku, 11Jan66. Sp4 Larry L. Black is half-turned to the camera, Sp4 James McBrayer, Jr is using the pick to make foxholes, Huckaby is by the "Pink Kitty". The "Pink Kitty" is the FDC training trailer that we brought over from Hawaii. We decided later that a plywood FDC trailer above ground was not a smart move. The picture is looking north, northwest.
