I'm Bob Baylis, I was with the 26th in 9/67 was sent up to engage AmTracs, (us being instructors?) teaching 1833s how to be 0311s. There were several of us. We arrived in Oct 67 and were assigned to different platoons. I was with A Co 4th Plt. from Oct 67 till July 68. Served with Crpmn Colins , Matheison, Hills, Jennings Lara , Seymour, Serpico, Baird, etc. So I have all those memories of those good times , bad times, high times, and the arty incoming episodes, ain't really came up with a name for those times yet. And if this is read by Miller and you are the bod in the tour battle fields you’re standing by the ruts where we used old track to build a road from SeaBees to H&S and the dump. Well if my calcs are correct about 250 yds out in that water is an old P5 probably 60 to 80 ft down. One morning we were crossing the river to A4 and one of the Tracs lost power, the tide was going out and it was going with it. They couldn’t get an engine restart so the navy sent out an LCU to pull off the crew and we watched that Trac sink. |
