YANK WHO'S CHAIN

I'm tired, sleepy, hot, hungry....well you know.....

I get on this milk run chopper, it goes from hill to hill dropping and picking up people and supplies. I have my elbows on my knees and my head in my hands trying to get a little rest. After several stops I look to my left and I am eyeball to eyeball with the biggest German shepherd I have ever seen. Big white teeth, bad breath, smelly, damp dog. My eyes must have been as big as saucers. The handler says very softly, "Move very slowly and I do not "think" he will bother you". To this day I am not sure if he was yanking my chain or the dogs.

11th ANNIVERSARY

Here's a photo of Sgt Grit with his staff and a few of his vendors taken on his 11th anniversary party on October 17th. Where's Sgt Grit? Get out your magnifying glass. See that flash of red? He's the tall dude standing in the shade at the very back. (But that's OK. That's where we like to keep him. We get more work done that way.)

Hill ???

I spent some time on some of the remote OP hills. I spent some time on some of the remote OP hills. I don't remember the names to any. CRS disease???
I think the lake on the one picture was called Alligator Lake

The first impression I gave getting out of the helicopter was funny. A little history. A 1st Lt was using the radio during a violent thunder storm, lightning struck the antenna traveled down the line to the hand set and fried him like bacon. To help prevent this from happening again I was elected to visit all these hills and ground the antennas and radios. I get my personal gear, weapon, helmet, flak jacket, etc... I look like a regular Marine, but then you add dozens of six foot copper rods, bags of salt, copper wiring, dozens of #c pencils in my pocket and copper fittings. The Lt's in charge of each hill initially looked at me like the Marine geek from hell. What has Regimental HQ sent him now?? Once I explained what the gear was for, and that I would stay a while longer and help with watches and provide a bit of radio training I was always taken right in. Most were very small hills with 8 to 12 Marines, so even one extra hand was welcomed.
