Ya gotta hand to these guys. Marines always find a bit of humor in strange situations.

Mike and the boys.

Imagine being on the receiving end of this baby.

Outgoing is better than incoming.

Boom boom time.

Notes that I never had to use.

The M-14 was my favorite weapon (still is)

Required reading material.

Check out the "Bell Bottom" Civies.

M-16 with a few Frags

Looks like a ride at Disney World don't it.

We crossed that river and got very wet.

CH46 Sea Knight. We flew in a lot of these babies.

Like I said...we flew in a lot of these. Pick up and delivery service.

Is this the coolest shot or what? Coming straight at me.
I remember those guys giving me the big thumbs up.

M48 Tank

The Big CH53 Sea Stallion

Can you spot the lizard in the tree?
He was about 5' long and scared me half to death when I almost stepped on him..

Can you spot the entire VC Battalion living in Marble Mountain? Really?
Don't feel bad...no one did until after the War.

Two more 46's

Off the coast of RVN.

UH1 Huey

Can you hear the hustle and bustle?

Wonder if the bad guys left this alone?

Beetlenut anyone?

Me and my buddies.
It was always about my friends.
We were all so young.

Yes that's a skateboard. Did you see the flight deck
on that LPH? It was perfect for skateboarding.

H-m-m-m C-Rats...Ham and M________er's.

Smitty caught some shrapnel and earned himself a Purple Heart.

Making the best of it.
