| Hey Trung!
Where are the Playboy pin ups!??
I know you had some!
BTW I was only 9 years old at that time. But I did carry the M16A1 in the Army.

Yeah I wasn't even even a sperm in my dads nut sack 42 yrs ago. Thanks for your service! All my war pics mysteriously disappeared when I returned from Iraq. Funny things happen when you ask your wife to print up pictures for you at the store...

I remember going though my Dad's slides from his RVN days.
He told me a small amount of them didn't make it home through the censors. He had some of VMA214's A4's with blast damage from sappers. I asked him why he took a picture of a grease spot on the PSP decking. It wasn't grease he said, that's where a sapper's charge went off before he got to an aircraft.
He also had a lot of pictures of A4's with flak dammage.
Wish I had one of his tent with his M14 and 782 gear over his bunk. He said if the mortars came in all he had to do is reach up and grab his rifle and roll off his bunk into the slit trench outside the tent wall next to him.
