When it’s there 24/7 it’s understandable that it kinda becomes routine. I hated firebase security duty and much preferred search and destroy patrol. A dug in firebase was like a million candle power spotlight for moths to swarm over.
I was a bit later than you..1970 at Quang Tri that c2 was still rough
duty then,Dong Ha was really hit hard about your time I think,
C2 still have bad memories of that place..rockets and Fresca.
