I assume you are referring to XVIII Corps EOD. They were as worthless a group of "soldiers" as I ever had the displeasure of working with. In Somalia, but that's another story.

Can you say BOOM !! I was WAAAYYYY TOO CLOSE to this !!

This was seen by the Control Tower at Tan Son Nhut Air Base in Saigon some 70 clicks to the West.

And another.

Me in the crater.

Sgt. Celano, one of the KIA on the Brightlight Mission.

That look on your face says, "DAMN! I've got to do that again!" Priceless

As I stood there taking those Pics, I heard what sounded kind of like rain and took the camera down to see a SKY FULL OF CHUNKS THE SIZE OF THE ONE THAT I'M HOLDING !!!! I dove under the 3/4 Ton and that stuff "Rained Down" for a good Minute. It beat the "Rag Top" off of the Truck !!! Those Pics were not taken with a Telephoto, just a plain old 50mm Lens.

It's pictures and stories like these that motivated me to want to become an 18C. :D

Tony, if I had worked for you, I probably would have never left.
