Dixon21.jpgCommo Dudes: Ready for anything241 viewsThe Duc Pho hill was off to the far right- out of the photo. These HQ battery commo fellows were PFC Hogan (left) and Sgt. Trainor. They were purposely looking tough here. We managed to somehow acquire a large stash of unusual "unauthorized" firearms (I had a bunch of them) and the PFC is holding what we fondly referred to as a "grease gun". The sarge was out of Texas as I recall.

Dixon29.jpg"Mumble X"240 views(Top Center) We called him "Mumble-X." He got that name because he was always talking about Malcom-X and that was about all we could understand him say. He spoke very, very fast and very, very low. It was tough to decipher what he was saying unless you got him to calm down. A cocky, brave guy, though. His name was Mosely (best recall). He was originally part of HQ Btry, but then got farmed out to other units or areas. Last time I saw him he was running convoy. He was operating a quad 50... and seemed to love the action. The words painted on the gun say "V.C. Birth Control." No idea who the other fellows were because they were from another group.
