Were you the driver for the M-48 in that excellent photo? If so, were you able to stay dry?

I am hidden away in the turret on the right side of the tank. That particular day, I was filling in on the company commander’s tank has a temporary replacement gunner, until repairs on my tank were completed. It had run over a mine and blown off a couple of road wheel arms and road wheels.

NOBODY who spent time out in the bush stayed dry in Vietnam. You were just more or less wet on any particular day, especially during monsoon season!!!
