This was taken during my first week as a Comanchero. Notice how scared I was.

The back of Capt. Tate (people must have really loved me) and front of Gary Heikinin. I know Gary's name is spelled wrong.

Picture of my helicopter being towed by the tow-chopper. Just happened to be on Lam Son 719. Broke my heart that I couldn't go on any more missions that day. We had a low side governor failure. Engine just died. Thank God we were still on the ground and that was the only thing that died that day related to that.

This was a black light poster in the "O" club at the hide out.

This is a picture of the camp dog. I remember that Gary Hienkinen disliked this dog. He said he saw him eating shit once and did not like "shit eating dogs". I only saw it smell shit once. Gary pulled pitch once on the flight line when that dog was around and tried to blow it away with the rotor wash (need a bucket of rotor wash and don't come back until you find it). That dog's ears were flapping and it was holding on to the ground as best as it could. I guess either we left or the dog did.

Left to right: Major Pope, Battalion Commander, Battalion XO and in back ground Charlie Seawell (Charlie I). I think the USO girls were coming this night because we had a flush toilet as long as we could keep the VN filling it fast enough. Monsoon piss rules in effect for male personal.

Gary Cancoler. I went through Ft. Wolters with him. He was a Kingsman. Haven't seen him since this picture was taken, maybe mid 1971.

This picture was taken in "O" club. Lt. ? and gong. Wish I could remember his name. He took over Pate's room next to mine in our hooch.

Armored truck "HARDCORE". Maybe at Khe Sanh, judging by the dust.

Here is a flight of choppers hurrying up and waiting. For what, I can't remember.

The crew dropped smoke around the tree we decided to use as a Christmas tree.

This was the tree we decided on.

This bird kept an eye on us while we were on the ground. Thank you who ever you were.

We captured more than one tree that day, let me tell you. The two crewmembers holding the "Christmas Trees" are Bobby Teeters and Gil Alvarado.

At the gas station with our Christmas trees. We got trees for both The NCO club And the O club.
