Drop Zone Support team
Radios!
My Drop Zone Ground Team, some far away land years ago.
I was the Sr. 18E on the team. The radios in the picture were used to talk with;
The Aircraft
The Medic on the ground.
Base Camp
Okinawa
And a back up
Train them right and take a nap!

Little man, When you “see” the aircraft approach, or hear them on the radio I want you to yell three times, “de plane, de plane, de plane,” and then wake me up. Go it, good, nite nite.

Neg, this Team Sergeant didn't carry no PSC-3, as an 18E, no sir!
That SATCOM antenna be attached to a little black SATCOM radio, that is attached to a little green encrypting box. I'm sure you know the names.

Roger that, TS.
Upon further review, that is from an LST and not a PSC. I cut my teeth on the PSC-3 before moving on to better, and smaller (and lighter), things.
I haven't touched one in 4 years an I can still set it up and run the Base Station.

That little dude with the hat on the far right of the first pic looks just like one of my "junior" medics in El Sal. LOL
Great pics!

The one on the far left bears a striking resemblence to Bugs Bunny.
