This is "the kid" (me) as a FNG. God, I wish I was still that thin!
This is "the kid" (me), no longer a FNG. That's the ass-end of the rocket I mentioned. This was just after the all-clear. It was still hot to the touch. (Look at that smile. Already starting to learn how to "stuff" the horror of it all.)
This was out on Fox Trot sector of the perimeter where we pulled guard. Once in a blue moon it was a day shift. Hotter than hell. We made an "umbrella" out of an old door and a poncho. Notice my M14 leaning against the back pole. Selector switch and all.
Hill 180 as seen from Fox Trot sector of the perimeter during the day. They were setting off some kind of ordinance, demolition I assume. Never knew for sure. Damn sure got our attention though. (See next picture a moment later.)
Hill 180 again, a moment later.
