I served in the 557 LE CO in 1970. I was a sp/5. I work mean on QL 13 between thunder 1 and thunder 2 and Quin loi. I remember a specialist that fist fought with the CO when they were drunk, do you remember them. I remember the 1st Sgt at base camp got fraged with CS gas almost every night, do you remember that. I remember a short guy from tenn. but I cant remember his name. I am having a hard time with my memory maybe you can help with this when you reply. What equipement did you operate there?
