Great story Ambush Master.

In 1968 I had a Special Projects team stationed at the "Yard Camp" -- Tm Cutlass. We were to set up a semi-permanent base and also had a 60mm mortar. When coming back from the range I used to drill them in setting up and "hand firing". They were naturals and many times had first round hits. I found they had an uncanny knack with the M-79 as well.

Bob Howard was still an SFC when I knew him at Kontum. He was an imposing figure and when I first time I saw him I decided I would never want too piss him off.
