I spent my 18th birthday behind one of those sumbitches on the mg range at Fort Jackson and my 19th birthday behind one of those sumbitches in Veet Nom, in the rain both days. Eff that.

As the Platoon Guide during basic, I was given the task of ambushing our company with this (firing blanks, natch). What great fun. Of course unlike you, nobody was shooting back.
I was still living boyhood "war" fantasy. Later on in flight school I lived Whirly Birds (TV show) fantasy and did things like trying to land between the only two cottonwood trees on the Texas landscape during an auto-rotate. My fantasy world ended right there. -

When I was in GTMO in the late seventies, some of us sailors volunteered for Q company, a group trained to help the Marines when the commie Cubans came across the fence. Goodness, it was fun. We had our own M-16, lots of time on the M60, threw grenades, fired anti-tank rockets, those were the days. I own AR-15's but could never swing the price of an M60. Couldn't get enough ammo anyway. Obama has it all.

The Busty Broad in the rollover is Connie Rod who was featured in a series of comic book pamphlets and a regular publication put out by the Ordnance Corps at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. They started this in WWII and were still doing it during Viet Nam.
In one famous case Connie warned the M551 Sheridan drivers not to put it into water steer mode while on solid ground since this would lunch the transmission. Several crews in our Brigade did this in order to get out of combat, but the General made them into grunts until their vehicles were repaired and stopped the practice n its tracks.

Most interesting comment JLW III. As a follow-up I learcned that "Connie Rodd" was the creation of cartoonist Will Eisner. And yes, I remeber her from mu M-1 days (the last Basic tng cycle to use them at Fort Knox).

Got to FamFire an M60-E3 at Camp Curtis Guild in MA. It was a lot of fun. I tried to get the major to let me keep all the brass but nooo.
