Elephant3.jpgWhole different culture149 viewsAmong the sights and sounds in Vietnam, working elephants rates up there with the cultural differences. Some report that the NVA and the Cong used them to transport weapons and supplies. A four-legged deuce-and-a-half.

Arr-2.jpgThe Waldman Collection - We Arrive149 views"Headquarters" for the historic 2/9th reunion was Bldg 5678, Aultman Hall, located on top of the hill of Geronimo Road. Aultman Hall was the later "twin" of Allin Hall, Bldg. 5676. These two buildings were the new Officer BOQs going back to 1965. They are now a commercially-run hotel on Ft Sill property. My, how things have changed!Arriving for the historic reunion at Ft Sill, OK.

Ft_Sherman_Book.JPGFt Sherman - Jungle Training Pamphlet149 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.
