Tex_6-1.JPGOut of uniform?202 viewsYou won't find this method of showering in Ft Sill's FM 6-40. Hanging a water can to the end of the howitzer tube is strictly an improvisation. They would have to add another Chapter.

Dixon19.jpgUnique 2/9th Icon201 viewsAnother photo showing the 2/9th symbol again on the nose of a truck. These were only painted on our vehicles and appeared on the nose and the hood. Later in 1968, they seemed to stop doing this graphic. Someone high up in 4th Division resented what they viewed as a leftover icon from 25th, but as far as I know, the symbol was not 25th and was used by 2/9th.

Dixon-Hospital.jpgC-141 Starlifter201 viewsGot violently ill one night and went into a coma at Qui Nhon. This beautiful bird evacuated me to the Phillipines. On the flight, I saw a guy on a stretcher suspended on the next tier up. When his sheet fell off, I saw that he had lost both legs and left arm. I was partially paralyzed at the time and didn't know if I was going to live, but I remember thinking how lucky I was compared to him. I often wonder what happened to this brave soldier.
