Cam Ranh Bay:Tower Oscar 43, on the north west perimeter of the base. A close-up (right) of the Tower reveals the SP guarding-hard. A close-up below of the concertina rolled-wire at the Tower's base.

... the night is coming.

Here is a view across the bay from Oscar 41,
a rare sight for those of us who worked all night.
This picture is of the old bunker at Oscar 41 before
they built a new one out of MD3 matting.

It got cold at night!
There were two ways to warm up:
Drink strong coffee...

... or fire this.

  

We had a sniper who would take pot shots at us from time to time. I do not know who Stalion was after, but after that night---no more sniping.

If you look where the skids of the chopper should be you will see hot streams of casings being ejected---that's how hot they were!

A Dustoff chopper landing at the hospital which was next to the SP hootch area.

His head is raised slightly,
 so I guess he's okay.

QW Firing.
