Memories For This Unit

Best Moment
Panama, Jungle Warfare and Survival School
Fort Sherman, Canal Zone
Respect for Army Ranger Instructors
Rubber boat training over sunken ship, eerie!

Worst Moment
Panama, President Carter was down signing away the Canal and the Panamanians were rioting. Rumors of doing riot control were flooding our ranks. Waiting for Carters plane to take off. Everyone else went no where until his plane left. Start of Jungle rot on my feet and black pine needles in my hands.

   

Other Memories
Compass march in platoon strength in a heavy rainstorm, being several clicks from our rendezvous point on the Chagis River. Being in chest deep water with tree roots grabing your feet and not wanting you to proceed. Bugs, Bugs, Bugs,
