that didn't happen unless you went to SFQC...your duty MOS might have been 98C2S, but your actual MOS was whatever you were qualified for...

Ah, when men trained with real combat rifles and not plastic ones!

You haven't changed a bit....
Thanks for sharing.

You were wearing bling before the bling-bling became a fad.
Stay safe.

Longrange, great photo. I was T/Oed on the M14, but it was not inservice in RVN when I got there ('69), except for designated "Company Sniper".

Guys,
I was drafted in 1970 and then enlisted for the SF option. If I hadn't, it was to be BCT at Ft Ord, AIT + 2 week mine/booby trap course at FLW, and then RVN. Becasue of the SF option, I did the above and then went on to BAC at Ft Benning and SFTG at Ft Bragg. The rest is some sort of history.
The white name tags at Ft Ord had your BCT unit (mine was 1-A-5-1; 1 Plt, A Co, 5 Bn, 1 BCT Bde) and were used by the post to monitor trainees. For example, anyone with our unit tag was not allowed into the PX or any such facilities without a DI escort prior to the end of our 6th week of BCT. There was a board at the entrance to the PX which was updated weekly listing those units who were allowed to go there. With the "maggot tags" it was nearly impossible to sneak around and DIs pulled duty at the exchanges to look for "unauthorized" trainees trying to sneak into them for candy, beer, or the like.
