Hey there, I spent quite a bit of time at C-2,we
were at the top of the hill with all the antennas.
I was there 70-71,spent most of my time at Khe Sahn
on that hill overlooking the air-strip.It was always
a hoot rideing from QT to KS,we`d always take fire
at that infamous Rockpile.Once down in the ditch and
realizing there was a tanker filled with JP 4 50` away.
The guy manning the quad 50 scared to return fire.
It was always better out in the field IMO,back in base
was where tensions were high.
One night about 100` from me a Maj.was shot when he
tried to arrest coupla bros smokeing weed.
We were in the mess hall one day at noon,the bros were
loud,and a bunch of mercenarys came in to eat.That was
the only time I saw mercs while I was there,they told
them loudly to shut up,they wanted to eat in peace and
it got quiet as a Methodist church.They were a tough
looking bunch long hair,weapons all over themselves.
Not long after this 2 bros fragged themselves trying
to boobytrap a hooch door.
