NDD - I too somehow missed this thread. Good story telling of potentially ugly problems. The thing I never got was that the Rangers came in and secured Rio Hato with minimal damage for our teams to come in and use the supplies on site. Somehow, 7th ID was able to come in and throw grenades in the washing machines and machine gun the four wheel drive and ATVs we were to use gong into the mountains. Never did figure that one out.

After "my training" you were able to hit that bird in the head at 305 meters!!

"Thanks for the memories", as Bob Hope would have said.
