Mission 16 or rather The mission from hell
The letter sent
As I state in the title I have chosen for this memory ..this will be about a mission and then its aftermath, the letter ..please bear with me . it is a long and hard memory and one that still wakes me up in August in cold sweats ..I tell this memory as a story because it seems the best way to present the information, so that it is not cold and harder than it really was
We all know that some memories are suppressed just so much or for just so long.. then they become alive and eat at you .some are untamable and are always at your throat.. some are dormant and attack at random times some stay just below the surface and bite you at the wrong moment in time this type always cause problems in a marriage some grip your heart or freeze your mind and will not let go ..while others go away as if they never existed ..
I tried to exorcise these demon memories by staying in the Reserves and working them out by military work . I was with others of my kind my brothers there were no sisters in those days ..and exorcise cauterize and burn them away .
But not all .
( There were two women that were in VN at the same time and we did talk & share, but I will speak of these women at another time)
The memories of Ben and the choppers are such memories . but they are not vicious just bothersome ..
I begin
Sometime in April or May of 68
Our team was given a choice of two missions to go on .
One was to provide radio support for an SF medical team that was going to visit several villages in western I CORP on their quarterly circuit Evidently this was a normal thing for them . but they needed some minor support we would be out for about four or five weeks ..
The other was to provide radio & Intel gathering support for a combat mission . we would be out one day at the most ..
We chose number two so number one becomes another story
My team consisted of Tom, Buddy (I think his real name was Leo), John, Kage (from Louisiana dont you know-real name Phillip) and Bob (Robert). The six of us had been out together before so no one was considered a NUG
Now . providing radio & Intel support was something we did on a regular basis . but combat was not normally involved matter of fact, not supposed to be involved at all ..
And the briefing sometimes did not tell us the WHOLE extent of what level of combat MIGHT be involved .
But we were normally told something about what to expect & how to react & what our orders were in different situations .
This mission wasnt one of those
That is THEY DIDNT TELL US ****!!!!!
We were told .
Easy ride .
Ride in
Get stuff .
Ride out
Come home
drink beer (hot of course .. why?? did YOU have ice???? then gimme some!!!)
Cake walk guys .. Cake walk!! ..
So . typical start O dark thirty . chops winding up . dust chokes us .
Oh did I mention??? minimal ammo this was a cake walk so only 7 mags and one bando
79 guy only had 25 rounds ..
No M60 .
No extra canteens ..
No rucks
No extra food ..2 Cs each in butt packs .
Actually this mission was OUR FAULT . we were the ones that found a small NVA unit out in the middle of nowhere
about one or two companies strong .On an in country R&R ..Light commo traffic . Light truck & foot traffic .
not near anyone friend or foe alike .But they were in an AO of some south VN commander that wanted them out of there .
So .. we went along for the ride and we are to return to the chops if there is contact we are not to assist in the engagement IF there is one ..IF & when fire starts book for the chops .. we ASSIST only .if all elements are not in contact abort ..etc.. etc etc . so on and so forth it gets boring after awhile ..
Sun comes up . and we come down
Jeezz MSG why are we linking up with the Marines??? I thought that this was an ABN thing???
Well . the right flank is the Eagles the left flank is the 82nd and the Marines will go up the middle because this IS THEIR AO AND NOT OURS GOT IT??????
OK OK no reason to get testy this wasnt in the briefing ..
Jeezzz what a grouch!!! .needs coffee .or maybe I do ..
We are behind the Marines .. in support Eagles on the right are not to initiate the attack . but only to contain enemy movement.. same with the 82nd on the left
Made attempt to contact with right flank . OK .. my counterpart at HQ . he sounds sleepy ..or bored ..
Made attempt to contact my counterpart on the left .. 82nd doesnt answer
Again . no answer ..shit are we on the right freq????
Again . no answer ..time to tell the MSG ..
Marines begin forward movement.. and us with them .. Uhhhhhh MSG . I dont have contact with the left
TS . forward! .
Uhhhhhh MSG I dont have contact with the left flank
He is gone .. took a chop to the right ..
BIRD 6 . BIRD 6 you got the MSG??????
Roger ..
MSG says .. MOVE FORWARD . WE will made contact ..out
Well . OK . but this is not normal .
OK so now we are officially FD&H and have to continue . under Marine control .
Oh well never been a problem before matter of fact we are happiest when working with the Marines ..
But why.. oh why.. do we feel odd about THIS mission????
The enemy is 3 clicks out now radio traffic is normal .. no alert . no outposts no no ..
A firefight literally erupts to our front ..the forward edge of the Marine elements are engaged ..along their ENTIRE front
OOOOOOOOOOOH THATS NOT RIGHT!! ..they are supposed to be 3 clicks away why the hell are there heavy bunkers HERE???
They are HEAVILY ENGAGED this is not just some little firefight on a perimeter of some little village .
This is not one or two companies cooling their heels on R&R .. this is a frikkin BATTALION!!!!!
OH ****!!!!! Marine elements report TWO BATTALIONS AND they have artillery
Shells start coming in . not just a barrage . sounds like two pair of combat boots in a clothes dryer .
BUMP..BUMP BU-BUMP-BUMP which a few CRACK sounds thrown in for good measure ..
We have lost most of our cover now and we can see them coming at us they have us outnumbered on this one ..
But the Marines are still in front of us ..
Artillery shifts to the right flank as the Eagles pour on the heat ..
We can hear the Eagles call for more Gunships . Smokeys PUFFs and anyone else who can hear them ..
We only brought two loaches .
Uhhhh one left . we see one get cut in half and go down in fire and smoke ..
Marines order a withdrawal ..
Eagles keep the heat on ..
Somebody upstairs knows that this is a lost mission radio squawks something about a recall ..
And estimates that they are already overrunning the right to our northeast ..
Marines are asking where the hell the left is
No answer .
No answer .
Commo squeaks a weak answer .. finally!!!! .. no one is home-I say again-no one is home
Uhhhhhh what do you think they means by that?????
(This was years before the fraise Elvis has left the building but it amounted to the same thing)
The right flank is leaving ..Gunships have come and are suppressing the arty
Three lines of Napalm erupt in front of us .. the ensuing rush of air sucks at our clothes slightly takes our breath away and clears our front
Marine Lt. says to book this way and we follow .but it is NOT the way to OUR CHOPS ..
They are gone ..
Uhhhhhh we now discover that we are not only official FD&H we are now officially SOL .
SLMF!!!! (definition Sin Loi MF)
Marines are split up by fire we have stuck to this one platoon .. of rather scruffy looking jarheads . but they shoot good .
Enemy cannot get too close without these guys knocking them down .
Fire getting lighter ..
We keep moving but we have no idea where to or which direction .
We just keep moving .
Marine Lt. orders a stop ..
Marine Lt. orders fix bayonets..
WTF!!!!!!! we dont have those do we????? NO .we dont
LOOK Lt. . my orders are clear . we do not engage we book
Well . without getting into the details of THIS pissing match ..we went one way and they went another ..
Never been this far out in the bush before .. ALONE .. well .just the six of us ARE ALONE
The first order of business is to get out of this AO .
We head southeast oh shit .. its blocked .
We head west .oh **** ITs blocked
We head south its blocked ..
Cant go north .
We go to ground .we find a heavy bamboo grove with a good depression in the middle, and it is well overgrown with
with .
with . WEED!!!!!!!!
No John . you cant smoke it . yet AND DONT CHEW ON IT!!!!
We form a 360 .. cut some of the weed and cover ourselves .. no sound . only our breathing .
Good God Tom dont hyperventilate calm down .. (not that MY pants were clean!!)
Anyone hurt??
Me no
Bob .no
Tom no
Kage no
Buddy no .
John no **** Im missing a boot! ..oh here it is .
Small laughs small nervous laughs .. ..
We go silent
The firefight is everywhere but fading .. fading . fading ..
No rotors . no shells .. no nothing ..
Silence . deafening silence
Oh . those stupid frogs .
Well . good . if we have frogs . we have no bad guys for a while
Night comes and covers us . and keeps us covered .. and AWAKE!!!!!

I too was an RTO Mith,yet my AO in the Delta never reached the scale that the other Corps reached. The bulk of the Delta was color coded Yellow(ARVN friendly ???)but quite a bit was also coded Pink(Questionable) and then there were the Coded Red(sympathizers).
The move into Cambodia some six months prior to my arrival had disrupted some of the VCI amongst the cities and villes along the Mekong.Consequently our sitation wasn't near as bad as alot of the Nam,so with out North Viet Nam willing to send large combat hardened troops that far south to be over extended and exposed and plus the fact that the Ruff Puffs were a different breed
of fighting unit...my tour was much much easier than most.
I can only recall three firefights...but I'll stand nose to nose with anyone and declare that one firefight is one too many...also was mortared and rocketed and there was a sniper that hounded us some times and the occasional land mines too.But there were periods of nothing except co-ordinating local civie support projects,military training and exercises and such.
I say all this to let you know as a PRC-25 carrying,in the mud and smoke type...I know somewhat of how it feels to be a part of a Command team.The VC as I'm sure with the NVA...don't care for the guys with the Whip...where theres a whip theres a Command function...and some beaucoup serious **** could be brought to bear on their ass...make it a real bad day in a hurry.
Great story Mith...I could here the squelch! Having privy to how the firefight was progressing being an RTO can be extremely stressful when it takes a bad turn...most often a squads aren't aware of a flank being over run or some other advantage the enemy has gained...till they're simply told to withdraw.
Good story bud!
...and two hard boiled eggs.

Love the comments and pictures guys.....
most everyone in our unit was an RTO of one sort or another.. we had one team that even had PRC77's... some if the first ones issued (at least in our units)....
It is also good to know that you guys pick up on the signal stuff.....many have forgotten it.....
One question for all.... who among us still does morse?????

Morning comes
And John is chewing weed .
We try to check in .. we are now OOR (out-of-range) . we cant talk to Khe San .nor Eagles nest nor Camp Eagle...
Nothing on or in the air at all except static ..
The sound or Arty comes to us it is far away and only the echos come to us
A lone jet very high ..going north
We need to evaluate our status and look at the maps ..
Lets see .. I have a cut on my arm and my trousers are torn in two places no other marks .
Toms boot has no heel .and a chunk of metal is in the bottom plate his foot is swollen and numb but upon examination he is not bleeding and nothing is broken .
All ammo and mags in tact (no one fired a shot!)
Johns left boot has ripped shoestrings so he has to tie it up with cord ..he has no butt pack.. therefore no food and a very large dent in his helmet . OH . he says he did that ..
Others no wounds only torn uniforms and two canteens with holes in them ..
My map is gone who has the other one???
Now we find that the guy from Louisiana Kage has the other map
Or rather .. HAD the map . his butt pack has a very large tear in it and the contents are gone ..his butt pack is shot up but his butt is intact!!
No maps .. well I still have my compass with a large crack in it and no face .
The prick25 has a gash in its side but the battery is not damaged .no one has spares .
Cake walk my frikkin ..
Buddy needs to bathe something about accidentally soiling himself (if he only knew!!)
WAIT Kage is bleeding ..Oh . a nosebleed (well .. stop picking it!)
Small laughs ..a little stronger now .
We know that we are OOR & SOL if we cannot get moving but we have no way to determine direction at this time .so we are going to rest and then make a decision .
Things couldnt get worse
The frogs suddenly stop ..
We hunker down ..expecting the worst
Then it starts to rain ..

Re: Mission 16 or rather
Have enjoyed all the posts.....Mith, Homer, P.Gary. Sorry about the lack of morse but certainly understand breaking squelch. Great stuff one and all.
Homer.....we'd sometimes have to go down and supplement the dustoff unit at Soc Trang......I absolutely hated flying in that wide open delta area. Much preferred the cover found in the III corps area......there used to be a rat bastid sniper who'd hang out in the area of what we used to call the Twin Sisters (small mountains I guess you'd say) and we'd always expect a hole or two in the aircraft when working in that area. He remained active during my tour 7/67 - 7/68.... persistent little fellow he was.

We had stayed put for a full day ..and today decided to move east . we now know which direction it is
No one eats anything .we collect water from the bamboo ..
Buddy bathes as best he can . (no more **** smell) I am not sure why he tried as everyone was soaked to the skin and began to smell the same because
Guess what?? .. no ponchos anyway . short mission remember??
And john . well John needs to stop eating the weed .but he may have something there ..
We move for an hour then halt . & listen HARD we keep doing this for a full day then go to ground .
Sun is setting .. the jungle STINKS!!!!! NO its NOT Buddy this time .
Ooh the radio .. Tom forgot to put the squelch on ..
Good find out who and what
LZ Betty answers us, finally and we tell them our situation
They get the ARDF boys to fix us and then tell us which direction to keep traveling in .give us new freqs to use and times to use them ..
Then, they lightly and very kindly in a soft voice as if they are participating in a womans talk show inform us that there is a large body of NVA looking for us and any others that got separated during the initial action .Everything North, West, Northwest and south of us is enemy at this time .and they are coming our way .
Now ..isnt THAT good frikkin news!!!
Oh yes buy the way . the SF boys will have Yards looking for you too so please do not shoot them ..
Look, we know we are OOR, have minimal ammo so we couldnt survive a MINOR firefight and cant last for very long with little food so . what do you suggest BETTY???
PUNT .. out .
We start moving and we pick up speed as best we can . we want to be elsewhere FAST .
We try to stay on a straight course . but movement in a jungle . well .. it aint easy ..
It starts to rain ..

It has now been three days and we have seen no one and nothing else but us, birds, one or two monkeys and the jungle .And we liked it that way!!!!!
Lots and lots of jungle .. This jungle was different than Panama .Panamas jungle was thick as hell and had poisonous frogs, but it also could provide you with comfort, water, food and most of the time peace .Not this jungle .. . it seemed vicious, foreboding, evil . full of demons and some of them wanted us dead
Having come from the Midwest I remembered, just then, for some reason I cannot phantom . what it was like crossing Kansas . you know the old saying All you can see in Kansas is Miles and Miles of Miles and Miles ..Jungle was all that we could see .
We are still heading east .. well . pretty much contacts with Betty have kept us on course....everyone is extremely nervous . apprehensive . hungry thirsty and downright well CRANKY!!!
Sooooooo this is what PMS is like ..
We drop where we are and try to make love to the ground .. the mortars do not seem destined for us.. they are dropping everywhere indiscriminant .. and now the sound of a firefight comes to us . to our south . it has to be our people as the 16s can barely be heard over the x39 rounds but we know that it is our people
Now fire from the west ..more intense .. Buddy yells that he sees a stream or river over there we go to it and jump in . up to our waists .. SOME river Buddy! .the bottom is very muddy and hard to walk in
But the banks can provide some cover .. we start moving against the stream as it takes us east, uphill and away from the fire .
CRUMP . I feel nothing . I am sitting on the shore . wet .. stunned half aware
Tom shakes me.. ARE YOU OK? shakes me some more COME ON DAMNIT! ..
I come out of it dive headfirst into the water ..or was pushed by Tom.. I dont know somehow I still have my rifle .
Buddy & Kage have Bob between them he looks hurt John is out in front pointing the way .
Fire fades .. echos die away . and the frogs are singing again
We come out of the stream and move off to cover but we do not stop . we keep moving as fast as we can
Long about two maybe three miles later, we stop still soaking wet our pause allows us to be baked by the sun and dry us out steam is rising from us like a power plant smoke stack in 15 minutes we are dryer and start moving again ..
Everyone is still hungry and tired our rations are now all gone but we do have water if you want to call it that .
Night comes and we go to ground . everyone has leeches on them .. we cut them off as no one wanted to start a fire that could be seen .our uniforms are torn up badly and three guys are now wearing shorts .Bob is like me stunned but unhurt . we had a mortar drop between us into the water and it sunk deep before exploding Tom says that we took a ride and were thrown ten maybe twenty feet in the air Bob had the radio and it now has a new dent, the long antenna is gone and the handset has a large crack in it. but it still works with the short whip his 16 is worthless because of the bent barrel. The radio seems to have saved Bob .I have no idea what saved me
I have blood coming from my left ear ..and a taste of it in my mouth ..
John has green stuff coming from well .. everywhere (TOLD you not to chew that stuff!)
Diarrhea has us all now .
Rest . no one can stay awake but we are dry now and feel a little better ..
It starts to rain and creates a cold and miserable night ..

Absolutely riveting Mith !!!
I know where Soc Trang is Dave ...we were supposed to assist the Mats for 30 days and rotate back and several of us were within a week or so of rotating as we overlapped one another.
I traded off for the bush and not to boast...was pretty much liked by the Team...never had a problem doing as asked...but that's neither here nor there.
Occasionally I was stuck at a Com Center and spent nights mostly in a connex with the Teletypes spueing out contacts and sitreps and other stuff that was boring as all get out...I didn't type and was told just to tear off the paperwork every so often and stack it and to get some guy an NCO in another "Box" if the Mat Compound at Sa Dec was to be alerted for some special reason.
That's how I know where Soc Trang is. All that bore just to say that...losing it Dave. Geez!

Side story just for gorourke
We had one RTO guy that HATED officers.....
So every time he went out to the bush... he would remove the plastic from the handset and stick the handset in his pants!!!!
Every time they wanted to talk... he would pull it out and hand it to them........
Most of them let him do the talking.....
Never did seem to get into trouble for it.....

Sun comes up and we make it to the top of a small line of hills that run north and south we must cross them and keep going east ..cannot talk to BETTY now but JANE has us and keeps us moving in the right direction . they report that our way MIGHT BE CLEAR to the eastern front range of mountains . .
Can you explain MIGHT BE????
Well we think a battalion has moved into your path, coming down from the north elements of the 101st & Marines are chewing them up as they go .
Can you get chops to us now?
No . they are needed everywhere else
From this point on conversations with JANE deteriorate into a pissing match .and
And .
John is throwing up . badly ..
And .
The battery goes dead ..
And .
It starts to rain
DAY NINE , TEN, and ELEVEN
Are all the same . chock full of Trys
Try to move east
Try not to be seen or heard .
Try to avoid any and all small villages (as most are not Yard villages and we dont know which one are) ..
Try to find something to eat or drink .
Try this, try that, try anything to get back ..
Just before sunset we stop .
It starts to rain ..(I think I started to see a pattern here)
To this point we dare not shoot at a bird or any other animal we see for fear of it being heard .but we need food Tom spots a thorn tree . one with long black spikes on it and I cut a piece of bamboo .
While Tom & I were stationed in Panama we use to make blowguns . out of bamboo and thorns just as the SanBlas Indians did down there you take a length of thin bamboo that has no joints in it, that is about three feet long, then you cut some thorns off of the tree . sometime you can just work them back and forth till they break off then you Feather the end of the thorn the Indians used spider silk wrapped around the end it looked like a Q-tip .either way works . of course.. we had no poison. The Indians would scrape the tips of the arrows against the skins of the poisonous frogs or use Curare
We made two of these and then set off to find some birds
After about an hour we returned from our little jaunt . Tom had nailed two birds and I had gotten one Never saw birds like these but the were now in our food chain .. after moving into a well covered dry area that will help conceal smoke.. we start a small fire .. this DOES NOT taste like chicken!!!! . but we eat .

Mith...toyed around with Morse for a few years and then eventually left off...haven't tapped since forever.
Never once did any send/receive while in the Nam. Did you have opportunity? How about you P?

Never learned Morse, I had no special communications training other then learning the phonetic alphabet in country. I learned all I needed to know OJT in the Bush. After walking point, humping the 60 and going down in tunnels, I decided to give the radio a try. Hell, it sure looked like a good idea at the time till that antenna sticking out of my head and the LT I was always walking behind started attracting some unwanted attention. By then it was too late to switch, they liked my voice and, after a few dressing downs for talking to fast during fire fights, my new found calm demeanor.
After a few months with the LT, the CO had me hump the radio for him on the ground and in the TC of the Command Track when we were on the move. I liked that job, for good or bad, I always knew what was going on because I had both Company, Battalion and Arty push on the track.

We spend day twelve & thirteen doing what we did on the previous day .. and by day thirteen we finally get across the mountain range and are heading down down down .then up across the eastern most part of this range .
Bob seems to not be able to hear very well and begins to show signs of disorientation ..he will not let go of the PRC nor his rifle ..
At this days stop . we forage and find streams with fish in them . but the streams were worse than the Perfume river up by Hue ..no one wanted to eat them or course rats & insects were also not on the menu.. so that limited us to ..birds birds stupid birds ..they were easy to hunt if you sit still long enough.. they come down into range and blowgun this short has NO long range but they dont taste bad after a while .
Kage says wish I had condommints! ..
We get to laughing .. NO COMDOMINTS HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Thats condiments Kage!!! .no one has condiments the laughter subsides .
We discuss the possibility of making contact with a village .. supposedly most on this side of the mountains are friendly ..while we were talking, in what we believed to be very hushed tones, I might add . Tom taps me on the shoulder ..and points Obviously our laughter got us in trouble!!
Off about twenty yards or so there were GUN BARRELS POINTED AT US!!!!!!
Everyone dives for cover and unlocks .
We all look at one another no one shoots .. Bob is aiming his 16 at them too ..even WITH the bent barrel!! but no one laughs ..
We SHOULD have been dead by now ..
After a VERY TENSE two minutes . several very short men come out onto the trail .
And then .. relief they were YARDS!!!!!
Tom guys these are Yards!!! we lower our weapons (but not our guard) and Tom & I step out into the open ..the other keep watch
YEP . THEYRE YARDS.. and they chatter like the birds we have been eating .one has a 101st shoulder patch with him and after seeing ours chatters more and louder ..more of them come out .. maybe thirty in all . with the strangest assortment of weapons M1 carbines, shotguns French stuff from WWI .one even had a flint pistol on him .If they had been anyone other than Yards we would not be here .they had us dead-to-rights ..AND they were all around us .
We learned a very hard lesson that day about movement and stealth ..WE WERENT DOING IT RIGHT!!!
We kept trying to get them to lead or take us out of there.. but they would NOT move from this spot and they settled down for the night RIGHT THERE . then I noticed that maybe ten of them were gone .THAT made me very nervous ..
BUT they fed us boiled rice!!!! and something that looked like beef ,most likely rat, but now . we no longer cared ..and their water was fresh and clean .. GOOD GOD that tasted good and some bread ..
The day passed into night and we slept . fairly soundly for the first time in a while .. the Yards had set out guards .
And . it did not rain

Sorry guys.... I meant to finish this a few days ago and got sidetracked by life.....after this one... only a little more...I hope that I am not boring you guys to death with this.....
By the time the sun was up so were we and our new friends .. the ones that had left us yesterday were back and after much chattering, we all started out to the south ..We still could not talk to them but they knew where they were going and we were going too numbers have an advantage.. and besides .. they hunted better then us .
The day waxed and waned uneventful just a lot of walking
And it did not rain ..
We went south again and then in the afternoon we shifted and started going east then southeast .
By sunset we were coming to a village . one that they evidently knew of or was theirs And there at the edge of the village was a site that none of us will ever forget .. One lone SF Capt. .and a woman ..A ROUNDEYE WOMAN!!!!!!! a nurse to be exact .. and what was that behind them?? .OH HOZZANNA a CHOP!!!!!!!
I reported to the Capt. and he seemed to know who we were already said that the yards had seen us when we came over the mountain several days ago but made no contact until they knew who we were for sure he had called to ask if there were any operations in that area.. and the answer was only a small bunch of lost guys that may be dead by now and then they explained the circumstances to him .
Relief came over us . most of us.. me included, sat down and couldnt move for a long time . weights were being lifted off our shoulders and worries removed from our minds the yards gave us more food.. fresh water and we thank God above to this day .. FRUIT bananas and mangos (I think) and some fruit I never saw before ..
The village was one that the SF frequented during the medical rounds in the region.. it was a base camp of sorts the SF guys would rotor into here and then make their rounds and then return here to rotor out or to get more supplies .in any case we gave him our names and outfit and they called our outfit for us and told them where we were .but I could tell by the tone on the radio that sometime was not quite right but the Capt. said nothing about it.. just that they knew we were alive and that the SF would bring us out when they left ..
Something about not having enough chops for a spare recovery mission at this time ..
So OK Capt. . when do we leave??? six days six days before we finish this rotation
And what are we supposed to do???? ..
Oh you guys . well you guys get to do .nothing .no duty just relax .the medics will check you all out and we have fresh uniforms over there (pointing to a .well .hut for a better word)
Now .. having been in country for almost sixteen months . to do NOTHING? was a blessing ..
Better then R&R in Australia (well almost I am fudging here!!)
The nurse looked all of us over looked at my ear and stuck some sort of medicine in it and asked me how I got that rather large beautiful colored bruise over my right kidney and lower back .Bob & I took a ride .she gave us stuff for minor pains & Diarrhea cleaned and covered our now numerous cuts and scrapes (ALL infected) .Turns out that the marks on Buddys legs were not made by him when he removed leeches but scratches from shrapnel Tom has a piece in his back, real small.. says he never felt it and none of us saw it we thought that he just had an insect bite!
We start to check our insect bites too!
WOW . fed, somewhat rested .dry .clothed, the SF guys gave us Tigers to wear as our uniforms were well for want of a better word .****! . ..
Then it started to rain ..but the villagers had given us a covered area to rest in . we stayed dry for the first time in a long time .
Funny thing about this we all were relieved, or at least felt better about having others around us but every time I tried to talk to the Capt. about things he acted very funny . not suspicious but like he knew something and did not want to let the cat out of the bag so to speak .It gave me a very uneasy feeling .Tom said that he noticed it too ..
Long about 9 or so, the Capt. comes to us and says to get ready to leave after noon meal, a chop will be in this afternoon for us ..
I thought that we wouldnt leave until your cycle was completed?
THEY want YOU back NOW! he turned and left without explaining ..he seemed angry ..
Oh . shit .. I guess that I am in trouble for something ..at least by the way he said it ..
We gather our rags (our old uniforms) what is left of our gear . check our weapons they are all clean and loaded
Well .. except Bobs . he is getting a lot of teasing about his bent barrel ..stuff about ours being made by Mattel but HIS was made in Poland and stuff like that he puts a full mag into it and we ALL CRACK UP!!!! John was taking a drink out of a canteen and proceeds to blow water out his nose. HAHAHAHAHA!! Bob says that it is now good for shooting around corners!!! Buddy says that he thinks that he just soiled himself!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
We are all rolling around on the ground now laughing like madmen and the Yards are beginning to look scared of us ..HAHAHAHAHAHAHA snort snort choke choke !!! Bob hides behind a tree that is only 3 inchs around and says Look they cant see me and aims his 16 out into nowhere with the barrel pointing in another direction . HAHAHAHAHAH choke stop it!! Bob suddenly stands straight up . shudders once . and falls to the ground
GOOD GOD!!! whats wrong everyone had ducked for cover but heard nothing.. the Yards react, but to us not something else Tom gets to him first MEDIC!!! and the nurse and another medic rush over . they saw him go down and take Bob into a hut . we get kicked out ..
The thumpthumpthump is heard .The chops are coming three of them ..in a few minutes they land not far off ..
Capt. shows up a says to go . we try to tell him about Bob he will not hear of it we are to go NOW!!!
No one moves .. I then notice that while I am engaged talking to the Capt. the others have sat down by the door of the hut . it is obvious to me, at least, that we go nowhere without Bob ..John has Bobs rifle and is cradling it like a precious thing ..
The Capt. is glaring at me but says nothing then turns away to do other things .
Nurse comes out and say that Bob is bleeding internally she says that the mortar blast concussion must have caused his colon to split and he was bleeding internally which has caused the problem ..(he was closer than I was!) they have temporarily sedated him and are now loading him onto a chop we start loading
I am told to go to the other chop .. WHY????? no answer WHY DAMNIT!! I NEED TO BE WITH MY TEAM!!!
Capt. yells YOU get on THAT chop NOW!!!! ..
I, reluctantly, obey Tom you are in charge .I turn and go to the other chop four SF guys are on it they pay me no mind .
We lift off . and slowly rise while turning to the East then my chop begins to head northeast . I notice that this chop now has two Cobras following it . the other chops dont I remember thinking.. WTF is going on?? I slump against the seat ..
The trip was uneventful ..and actually pleasant bright sky clear . not too warm up here .. thumping rhythm was putting me to sleep .My thoughts were with the others
In retrospect its funny that your thoughts do not seem to stray back to Home & Hearth & the girl at home .. I did not care about the other World . only these guys in this one .and wondering why I was not with them one of the crewmen comes to me and shouts we are taking you straight to your camp A MSG Schwagman is waiting there for you I MUST be in D E E P Kimshi now!!!! this is one guy no one alive WANTS to have waiting for them. The chop turns north and seems to pick up speed .
I look out the door . and contemplate the number of feet to the ground several times
The trip now feels like it took two years to get to camp . which had obviously moved since the day we left for this Cake walk ..
As the chop starts its decent the air gets hotter and I can see that we did, indeed, move to what looks like a forward fire base for the Arty . I cannot get a name from anyone.. they do not seem to know ..
MSG is standing at the edge of the PCP Helipad . the chop bumps down and immediately cuts the engine .the SF guys are already out and gone around the corner of some tents ..the door gunner starts locking down his gun and then he gets out I do not want to move .MSG glares at me .. I get out and start toward him there are several other officers standing there that are NOT my officers ..I now contemplate soiling myself just for the hell of it .it is too late to jump .
Without a word I am led into one of the tents and there is a MARS station setup in there (HAM radio) . I am told to wait .the MSG leaves saying Ill be back (now you know the terminator DID NOT say it first!!) and I do . for four more hours I sit there . wondering when the ax will fall .
Along about 8PM .In comes the MSG with those officers in tow .. I am to debrief them NOW!!! and I do ..there is a guy at the end of the table writing this all down .he looks like an MI guy no insignia nor patches of any sort ..I STILL think that I am dead .I talk for an hour and a half . when I am done the officers leave ..
The MSG says now I have something else for you to do and tells the MARS operator to Make the call .and while we are waiting . Bob is fine . they found the hole and have sewn him up he will be fine and awake tomorrow ..it was not as bad as they first thought and all the guys will be here shortly. a wave of relief comes over me I start to shake ..uncontrollably ..I almost DO soil myself the MSG gives me a drink and I almost puke . hard stuff some sort of whiskey my system cannot take it just yet, but I dont give him the cup back
After a few more sips, the MARS guys says OK I have them . and turns to me explaining . when you want to talk, press this key and then say over and let go to hear them . I privately think to my self just who is THIS idgit think he is talking to!!!
The MSG laughs and hands me the mike talk to your Grandmother she needs to talk to you, you have 15 minutes
I am absolutely thunderstruck!!!!
My Grandmother the one who raised me more of a mother to me than my mother .we talk for twenty-five minutes.. then the signal fades We talked about how I was and how she was, and how everyone at home was . and how proud she was of me (she never had ANY idea what I was doing or where I was!) and other normal drivel she was crying I could tell she ended by saying I will see you soon .. she must know something that I dont or just optimistic ..
I put the mike down .. and after very long pause I thank the MARS guy and the MSG .. he said You were ordered to talk to your family as soon as you were found because of an incident that has happened at Ngok Tavak & Kham Duc .I had no idea what the hell he was talking about look . get some sleep and I will talk to all of you in the morning
And then led me to a tent where the others were staying ..the five of us . in a tent ALONE!! unheard of ..and we just stood in a circle for the longest time then went to sleep . no one let go of their rifles john still had Bobs .we sleep clothed ..
And like the dead . solid sound . the first time in a while

The next morning . at noon, to be exact we woke up or rather we got up . the MSG had let us rest ..the day was a normal VN day hot ..dry .. SMELLY! . a buck Sgt. wandered toward us and said that the MSG wants us to join him in the mess hall.. and it was that tent over there ..this was strange everyone we saw was not from our unit we kept looking for someone we knew but we saw no one . and all of these people were new to us .. but they ALL knew the MSG .and they ALL treated us like we were special no one ordered us to do anything and even privates saluted .absolutely scary!
And very strange feeling indeed ..
Upon entering the tent.. we find that there are, again, several officers that we have never seen before ..
The MSG instructs us to go through the debriefing again.. and we do .this is a completely different group that at the last session When we are done, everyone leaves with the exception of the MSG, the CO, the XO and one other officer, who, we now know to be an MI guy
It seems that because of the coming troop reduction we can go home early .
Uuhhhhhh what? .
You guys all voluntarily extended.. and that makes you guys first on the list to be allowed to go home .. IF you want too .... if the floor had not been of dirt you could have heard a pin drop no sound not even from outside as if a bubble of dead air surrounded us all ..
Uuhhhh.. ALL of us????
your choice
How soon
The MI officer speaks up.. Now . if you wish there is a chop waiting it will take you to each of your clearing stations and then to Tan Son Nhut in 5 days and you all be home .except you if you decide to go.. then you have to be on tomorrows flight out ..so .you go in the Cobra
With that the MI guy gets up and moves to leave the tent .
One of the guys pipes up and asks why does he go on a Cobra, why does he need to be gone tomorrow??
The officer turns and with a very pained look on his face, says HE was the one reported MIA/KIA, none of you were and out he goes .
Twice in one day . thunderstuck .. MSG? what does he mean ..I ask
Our Co answers .. slowly there was a mix up during the reporting of MIAs & KIAs during the last two weeks .. you were in an action that separated you from all real contact for those two weeks .. the head-shed saw your name on a list of KIAs and sent a letter home .. YOU were dead a confirmed KIA at Ngok Tavak & Kham Duc the details are in the after action reports sent to head-shed ..
But . I was nowhere near there . was I??
No .. but an airman with a name like yours was .. no one knew that he was an airman.. at first ..he was listed in the Army list it wasnt until three or four days ago when you were found by the Yards that we knew that the list was wrong . thats why you were required to call home thats why you are being given priority for clearing station If you decide to go .
Do you have info on that guy?
Yes the first one is the original the second page is the corrected copy . and with that.. he handed me a report that was the same as I have posted previously with one exception
At the top of the first page was this information

Never boring Mith! In fact...captivating ! An amazing Tour!... with just the stories you've written so far bud.
The fact of the mix-up and then being allowed to talk to Grandmom must have taken you back a bit to say the least. Grandmom even more so.
Keep em coming George!
The post about a youngster was meant for P. Gary on another thread...how it got here I don't know...it's deleted.

I sent my parents through hell when they got a telegram stating I was wounded. I said nothing because I was sure I marked the card saying "do not notify family if not seriously wounded". I guess I checked the wrong box, I had a lot of explaining to do as to why I did not write and say I am ok. I can only imagine what pain that letter caused about your KIA status. Great thread Brother.

Mali is just another severe lurch downwards in Africa's direction of total anarchy, war lords and tribal chaos falling back into the stone age. Can anyone blame the outside world for dropping this area as a focus for investment?
It seems that the Winds of Change have reverted Africa back to where it left off before the Great Migration out a million years ago. Count the wars, the coups, the waste and the decline. Even Obasanjo had to admit last week in Addis that little was moving forward on the continent.
If this continues and accelerates, consider that the continent's window of opportunity to lift itself out of its mire has closed for a very, very long time. It seems that no one is turning back the Spiral into Iniquity. It has already plunged without any brakes. No one is stopping this free fall.

I have been wanting this table for so long. At first I coudn't find it. Then I would find it from 600.00-900.00 dollars. Sorry I was not welling to pay that. So I finally found it on Overstock..great price even caught it with an additional 10% off. Great purchase I am very happy with my purchase..No shipping fees and arrived quickly of course it is overstock :) FYI I found it on Amazon for the same price but they wanted 120.00 for shipping....Yep` Never will I pay that!
I was very disappointed in the quality of the table. I recevied a second replacement and had to return that one also.The wood is so warped that I felt if someone put a glass on the table it would tip over. I liked the rustic look but not the warped boards. As always Overstock was very accomodating.
I had been trying to get this table for a couple months. It kept selling our and out of stock. I finally was a ble to get one before they were all sold. Delivered promptly and with tons of packaging. It went together very easily and swiftly. I noticed one of the corners of the box had been dropped but it didn't matter to me because I was distressing it anyway. Took some chains to it and then stained it a little darker. It looks old, rustic and ABSOLUTELY beautiful! It is one piece that everyone talks about when they come into my living room! Thanks Overstock!
I had to return to leave a review because i'm absolutely thrilled by how this turned out. Delivery was late, and packaging was filled with crummy styrofoam which disintegrates and messes up your floor with tiny bits, but overall the product made it halfway across to world to me in one piece. I was worried because this requires assembly and i have trouble assembling even the simplest Ikea furniture. We had to dig around to look for the instructions, which was also printed on a pretty crummy piece of paper. Everything from then on went great. The tabletop was made of solid pallet-looking wood, and to echo one of the other review -- The finishing is meant to be raw looking. You must be prepared for imperfections that are meant to enhance the "character" of the piece. The corners of the table top have been reinforced with heavy cast metal brackets. All you need to do is to fit the wheels on the axel, and fit the smaller wheels to the other 2 sides of the table. It was easy to drive in the screws with the supplied tools -- You do not need to have power tools or the likes of it. I was especially happy at how easy it was to turn the screws in. The holes were pre-drilled and filled with the metal screw holes. So you are turning the screws into a metal piece in the coffee table. It wasn't like Ikea furniture where you had to struggle to screw the screws into wood itself. Anyway, the entire installation took about 30 minutes, and the end result looked phenomenal. The metal pieces were really solid heavy. So glad i didn't buy the Restoration Hardware piece -- This is just as good at 1/2 the price!
We got this within th epromised delivery time. The quality of the product is great..Just what we expected. the iron parts are heavy and have a rustic appeal . This is an ideal combination of modern and old school. The Table top is very smooth and looks great. The table is a great conversation starter. Try to assemble this where you intend to keep it and moving it later on may be a challenge.
This table is perfect. To think I was willing to pay 1,000 for almost exact same table. Excited for it to be in our new home.
Very sturdy table, although the top is not even. Came in chipped on a corner while in shipping, but were able to fix it with stain. For some reason, men who see it in my LR did not give a positive opinion, and all the females are simply in love with it. I bought all the furniture from XX, so this piece matched the overall appearance.
I can't believe how beautiful this table is! It truly is stunning! The color is darker and richer looking than the photo. Very well made and sturdy. Went together easily and quickly. All I can say is I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this table.
Stunning! An interior designer friend of a friend could not believe I got it on Overstock and for the price I did.
Totally worth the value! Very nice quality, beautiful design and steady table is super unique for my living room! Easy to assemble, and I believe there is a reason for the table that is so heavy. One of the happiest choice of this websites!

Hi Mate, dont know you, but if you like this Harley, you may like the Ducati Paul Smart, It would be considerably cheaper, and they are still very rare and classy/retro racer look.

I do like the Thruxton, it's got a certain appeal. But that Harley is a 1200 (Yorkshire 12 plate too) and is unique, so it's possibly worth the price... Don't panic though, I'm not buying it!
Jeni you like yer Irn Bru, so maybe it's something for you to think about

BORDERLAND - The entropy of identities BORDERLAND – The entropy of identities international video art screening will be held in Almeria (Spain) at Museo de Almería on the 13th of March 2014 and at MECA Mediterráneo Centro Artístico on the 27th of March 2014; and in Granada (Spain) at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Granada, on the 23rd of April 2014. Forty-six artists have been selected to take part in the exhibition. Entropy is conceptually defined as the measure of the level of disorder in a changing system. Starting from this fascinating concept, each person can be considered as a changing system, as the same as for a specific culture, city or country, until the whole universe. All these systems are subjected to a process of continuous inner evolution which overcome their own boundaries to contaminate and crossbreed each others. Borders of this evolving systems get more and more fleeting, and their identities turn out fluid, multiple and changeable. These continue changes find in the inevitability of evolution their measure of order.

Early Monthly Segments #61: 5th Anniversary Screening To celebrate our fifth year anniversary we've given ourselves the challenge of programming (and projecting) an evening of double projections! Vanessa O'Neill's sublime Suspension uses rephotography, tinting and superimposition to turn a westward view of the Pacific Ocean into a sublime interplay of waves, light and grain. Malcolm Le Grice's classic Berlin Horse is a film that explores the possibilities of the loop, taking a short fragment of a silent film and subjecting it to a series of colour processes amplified by the phased music of Brian Eno. Daichi Saito's Never a Foot Too Far, Even is a contemporary expansion, superimposing a section of a Kung-Fu action film into a perceptual play, accompanied by a violin composition by Malcolm Goldstein. Tonight's screening of Visions in Mediation #2: Mesa Verde, Stan Brakhage's vision quest to the ruins of the Ancient Peublo cliff dwellings in Southwestern Colorado is amplified by a second print given to Kate MacKay from the filmmaker as a gift. And finally, a third projector will be sparked to present For My Crushed Right Eye, Toshio Matsumoto's ode to the social unrest and expansion of the late sixties, all of which threatened to burst out of the frame. Dates: Monday, March 17, 2014 - 20:00Venue: Gladstone Hotel Read more about Early Monthly Segments #61: 5th Anniversary ScreeningAdd new comment
Magic Lantern Presents: Body/Voice It is often noted that men and women inhabit space very differently, as evidenced by the popular Tumblr account, Men Taking Up Too Much Space on the Train. Photo after photo show male passengers with legs maximally splayed and arms raised to grasp a Very Important Newspaper, while women demurely cross their arms and legs with visible signs of discomfort. It doesn't take a professional philosopher or sociologist to realize that this stark contrast between spatial expansion and contraction is not a fact of biology but a set of learned behaviors. For most women, something has broken in the unifying chain of consciousness/body/world; an institutionalized double standard ensures that men enjoy the lion's share of free, unhindered, fluid movement in space. The films in this program demonstrate various ways in which women filmmakers have sought to engage more fully with their world, oscillating between the savage critique of social norms and the affirmation of new powers and pleasures. It goes without saying that cinema, with its disjuncture of image and sound, its capacity for metamorphosis and even the grotesque, is one of the most powerful tools we have for the reconfiguration of body and voice.

The next festival will take place in June, 2014. WUFF is seeking new and engaging moving-image works that deviate from traditional cinematic forms, whatever that means.

Judith Barry: …Cairo stories Created from a collection of more than 200 interviews Judith Barry conducted with Cairene women between the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the beginning of the Egyptian Revolution in 2011, …Cairo stories is a series of short video monologues. The selection of stories chronicles personal experiences of women from a variety of social and economic classes in Egypt and expands the artist's concerns with notions of representation, history, subjectivity, and translation – particularly as these ideas circulate across cultures. The original interviews were conducted in simultaneous translation to maintain fluidity and integrity of tone and meaning, and Barry considers them to be collaborations between her and the subjects. The vast source material was then 'vetted' by a diverse range of Cairene women. The emotional integrity of each woman's story is the crux of this project; the translators and interviewees remained active participants in both the narrative arc of their stories and the development of the project. In the gallery, a selection of 15 narratives is performed by actors, highlighting that all stories, including those we tell ourselves, are ultimately fictions. Dates: Thursday, April 10, 2014 (All day) to Saturday, May 31, 2014 (All day)Venue: waterside contemporary Read more about Judith Barry: …Cairo storiesAdd new comment

Sour Power Belts Candy - Pink Lemonade: 3KG Bag
Pin It
We love the tart taste of pink lemonade at CandyWarehouse, and if you're like us, you might magically transform an ordinary batch of sunshine-hued lemonade with a splash of maraschino cherry or cranberry juice to give the beverage its baby pink color and delightful sweet flavor. Even though they've been around since 1930, we've just seen our first crop of adorably unusual pink lemons. If you get lucky, you just might encounter this variety of pretty fruits with its eye-catching variegated rind if you hit up enough farmer's markets sometime in the late winter season. Until then, we can service your sour lemon fix with these yummy, mouth-puckering Sour Power Candy Belts in a lovely opaque, bright pink hue. Each flat, stretchy ribbon of sugary, gummy-like lemon-flavored candy is coated with a light sanding of powdery sour crystals that balances out the sweet-to-sour ratio to the utmost confection perfection. Floppy and festive, these bendy, party-friendly goodies practically beg to be displayed in an old-fashioned candy jar at baby showers, weddings, or princess-themed birthday parties. So addictive, once you start snacking you'll be hard-pressed to stop!
There are approximately 100 pieces per kilogram.
Belt Dimensions (Inches)
: 9 x 3/4
Unit Price = $16.00/kg. (~$7.27/lb.)
Bag contains 3 kilograms (~6.6 pounds) of Pink Lemonade Sour Power Belts Candy. Made in Holland.

The Buick Regal radiator assists in cooling the engine block by means of taking away heat straight from the engine cooling solution that is distributed through the automotive engine bay to control the beyond-acceptable temp. The car's powerhouse is able to run well at an ideal heat due to the Buick Regal radiator. See if this cooling system component is plugged or has leaks since this can cause overheating.
The worn radiator of your Buick Regal might cause problems. Once the automotive engine overheats, the engine will malfunction and possibly collapse, calling for engine reconstruction, which is expensive. Fix the ruined radiator of your Buick Regal straight away, so you don't have to pay a great amount of bucks on massive repairs. Spare your Buick Regal from engine overheating problems-get an all-new radiator to ensure the good performance of your car's engine cooling .
We provide you with excellent price deals for Buick Regal radiator replacements, giving you substantial value for your cash through first-class automobile parts and accessories for less. Replacement, Crown, and Custom Fit are a few of the well-known manufacturers featured our listing.

PCL-18 portable column lift system

The manufacturer intends for it to be the medium between the two. People tired of using sketchy jack stands and working on the ground, will appreciate the MaxJax's ability for quick setup and clearance. Shop owners that need more room to work on their customer's vehicles will appreciate the MaxJax's ability to conveniently store away when finished.

Reduce Risk
With the Ericsson Solution Integration offering operators
can achieve controlled and secure network evolution and
ensure new equipment is introduced with minimal negative
impact on other network operations.
The key is extensive testing and verification procedures,
which help mitigate the risks around bringing new solutions
into today's multivendor and multi-technology networks.
At the same time,Ericsson makes certain that new solutions work properly with business and operational support systems, such as charging, billing and mediation, helping operators prevent revenue
leakage and reduce opex.
A similar commitment to testing and verification on the terminal side,combined with accurate configuration, ensures new solutions, services and applications deliver the expected user experience from the moment they are launched, protecting the operator's reputation and brand.
Evolve the network
The end-to-end approach of the Solution Integration offering, combined with Ericsson's Solution Management service,ensures the operator environment is well prepared for future network evolution.
Ericsson's well-proven tools and mature processes and methods, developed from similar projects around the globe, provide a solid foundation for the integration work.
This is enhanced through a customized integration strategy and effective handling of relationships with multiple suppliers, cutting time to market.
And by working side-by-side with the operator's organization, Ericsson ensures efficient knowledge transfer and a smooth handover to operations personnel.
Access to Best Competence
