Inside_Conex2.JPGA Peek Outside207 viewsOne of the "windows" cut out of the CONEX-FDC provides an excellent view of the rice paddies leading to LZ Montezuma. Note the decorative light fixtures used in the FDC. The wooden window casing doesn't quite match the welder's cut, but it was close enough.

Anchor2.JPGLZ Anchor203 viewsIn a very serious tactical error, "A" Battery was sent to re-occupy LZ Anchor due to previous battle successes in the area. Our enemy wasn't that stupid. A 250-lb Air Force dud was buried in our sump area. Fortunately, it was buried very deeply to avoid detection. When it was set off at dusk, it caused a couple of concussions and eardrum injuries, but no fatalities. We were ordered to leave the next day. Had the bomb been closer to the surface, "A" Battery would have likely been wiped out.

R_R.JPGR&R - Hong Kong202 viewsTime off - R&R in Hong Kong, 26 to 31 July, 1967. The Navy's 7th Fleet is in the background.
Combat personnel are slow to get R&R dates; they are needed in the field. Wheres the typewriter Rangers go as often as they have the money to go.
