Drop Zone Support team

[Team Sergeant]

Radios!

My Drop Zone Ground Team, some far away land years ago.

I was the Sr. 18E on the team. The radios in the picture were used to talk with;

The Aircraft

The Medic on the ground.

Base Camp

Okinawa

And a back up

Train them right and take a nap!

Little man, When you “see� the aircraft approach, or hear them on the radio I want you to yell three times, “de plane, de plane, de plane,� and then wake me up. Go it, good, nite nite.

That SATCOM antenna is from the PSC-3?

Neg, this Team Sergeant didn't carry no PSC-3, as an 18E, no sir!

That SATCOM antenna be attached to a little black SATCOM radio, that is attached to a little green encrypting box. I'm sure you know the names.

Roger that, TS.

Upon further review, that is from an LST and not a PSC. I cut my teeth on the PSC-3 before moving on to better, and smaller (and lighter), things.

I haven't touched one in 4 years an I can still set it up and run the Base Station.

That little dude with the hat on the far right of the first pic looks just like one of my "junior" medics in El Sal. LOL

Great pics!

The one on the far left bears a striking resemblence to Bugs Bunny.
