Price_Reunion_6.jpgReunion Photos - Dave Price158 viewsToday's FDC? Not quite! All the computer laptops were behind these men out of sight. The old firing chart with RDP and square are on display...probably just for our benefit to remind us of our time in service...ie, the "old days". And, yes...the "check chart" has been abolished.

Ft_Sherman_Book.JPGFt Sherman - Jungle Training Pamphlet158 viewsThis training was tougher than Vietnam; many candidates dropped out and were ushered out of the country. The School was advised NOT to send the men on the final E&E exercise due to a major storm and river flooding, but did so anyway. The "partisan point" was 15' under water and marked by a pole. Landing craft picked up the students. Safety and property loss was NOT a concern as many M-14 were dropped in the Chagres River from the crossing ropes. After all the "safety first" training rules back in the States, this was a shock to my system. The Jungle Expert Badge was truly a "well-earned" award.
