I probably knew you since I knew all the rest of those guys. Doyle posts here occasionally.
What is your name?
I have my pictures posted here:

Hi Neil,
Your name seems familiar though I can't really place you. We obviously were together since we have pictures of the same people and events. I couldn't identify myself in any of your pictures though they sure brought back memories.
Welcome home.

Jim, great pictures. I love the pay stub, you guys were rich! I think my pay was about $128, with $100 going home and $28 going to poker games :-)

Jim, I forgot to add. The comments you made on your induction orders about the Marine Sgt.? When I got inducted in '65 they lined us up, had us count off by 3's, then had all the 3's step forward. A Marine Sgt. stepped out and said: "congratulations men, you are now United States Marines", and off they went. Three of us had gone in on the buddy plan, so much for the buddy plan :-(

I was a three...... got into a tug-of-war with gunny when I whipped out my little card that said I was a two year army volunteer for the draft. Glad I never saw him again |

When I was drafted in March of 1971 they we're pulling all the Marines out of Vietnam. Had I been drafted into the Marines I would have missed all the excitement. Having made it through intact, I'm glad I'm glad I got the experience. But there were a few times over there when I thought maybe I should have stuck up my hand. |
