Re: Origin of my screen name.
Never got to play in the jungle but was in the 1st Cav at Ft. Hood 71-73. Totally different mission training involving heat and sand. Thanks for your service in a difficult situation.

Re: Origin of my screen name.
When I arrived with A-1/9 on Christmas day 1967 I had the new Issue of Hot Rod Magazine with me that had the 39 bird photo of a CA on a hilltop. I think that magazine got handed around the whole Blue platoon and the guys named everyone in the photo.
