Captured M16 2/67

[Gator Monroe]

Pictures like those pushed me into a Retro AR/M16A1 (603) build and now that that Rifle is finished it's the M1A/M14A1 build bug that has bitten hard .

Looking at your hooch brings back a lot of memories. Ours was more deluxe in that we had our pallet floor about 2' off the ground, so we never flooded. Our bunker was smaller and we never went into it because of the rats. I'd rather take my chances with the mortars than those 3lb rats. We had Dets up in Kontum, Plei Mei, Plei Djering and I got up there once in awhile. I was gone by 5/67. Every time you got into a chopper or plane you were in serious jeopardy in that part of the country. Fly into a mountain, get shot out of the sky, either way same same.
