Roger that. I had one SF SSG at Project Omega, later CCS who was 5’10” and about 200. This NCO took me on my first two combat OPS with our yards. He was outstanding in the bush. No man I served with could out do him in any terrain whether triple canopy/plus lots of leeches or mountainous.
We had few, if any overweight, and not one was obese. Bu Gia Map in north western III Corps and Southern II Corps was one bad a— AO.
I hear you on that.
I was in I Corps.
