On ambush one could tell who was coming by the sounds they made. clanking like a t-62 and some chosen cuss words, Marines.

Radio playing, ARVNs

Silence, NVAs or Mr. Charlie

Someone once said there was no difference in us and mules. I stated there was, a Mule would eventually refuse to carry any more.

We would also carry stuff, comm battery, can of ammo, can of gun ammo, case of C's, it was all divided up.
