Jack, has that color assaulter picture been used in some open publications about various SOF units that you know of?

Your pics
Jack, you need to 180 several photos. I have a great shot of Maggie at My Phuoc Tay (A-411) that ended up as a reverse picture on the book, Tales of The Green Beret. Look at the lower left-hand corner. The jump wings were on the wrong side.

Damn, you are sure right. Guess I am used to all that old PT where the platform guy would stand up there and instruct us to do the 'mirror image". This is what happens when you give an officer a choice of which part of a slide is front and which is rear without supervision

Penal Colony of C&C -- FOB-3 Khe Sahn.
Notice there is no teamhouse. We lived on the wall with our troops. This was as close to trench warfare as I care to get. Mr. Charles was so close that we walked out at night to perform wire taps.
I have many pictures on my web site.

How many people do you see there ??

AM,
That's amazing. Missed seeing anyone else except you (and I'm not sure even now). Is that someone in the distance at 0930 ?
Looking at your picture is much harder than looking at a "Where's Waldo?" book !

Many GREAT pictures! Anyone who hasn't been to QRQ's site should go. It may take several trips to see all the pictures, though. There are a ton!

AM and Folks: that is an excellent picture. Notice, the sleeves rolled down and the gloves. Everything in the jungle bites, scratches, sticks or cuts. We used to get a kick out of the REMFs who spent time laying out in the sun to get tans and look like "old timers". The real bush beaters were pretty pale by comparison.

LOL - ain't that the truth! I love the pics of the guys stumbling around in the jungle with their sleeves cut off. No Black Palm in Hollywood.
Leech scars are another good way to tell the old timers.
