Heavyly armed homeless people, I was sitting in the office laughing and no one around.
The reason I kinda knew where I was and when, was because I was the LTs RTO, I had to know where we were and where our frendlies were and who we had on our flanks and how to get arty and mortars and jets, So I kept a log or record of sort, And My mother had a door size map of vietnam that Col. Hampton Rollen sent her, We became friends at Fort benning, He was in charge of SP forces, An E-4 and a Col drinking Blue Ribbon togeather, Got passed the gates at Benning a few nights because we were togeather, also I bought a 8mm camera and three rolls of film at some PX and filmed us in the field, I filmed a firefight, Tracers flying mortars comming in and mussel flashes. I still have two of the 8mm films,. My brother-in-law is a high school teacher and barrowed the firefight one for his class, He showed it to his class and that night his house burned down along with my film. I don't think I ever forgave him for that. It was a very cool film, No sound but very intence. After I took the film I through the camera away, didn't need to carry that thing any more. Besides I had a great film of a firefight, no one else I knew had that.

The most spoooookyest place I ever seen was at the bottom of the Ashaw valley where it met with the IDrang valley. That place makes the hair on my arm stand up right now. On guard 100% of the time, hair triggered, Something moved, you shot, asked questons latter.
