In Vietnam Our gun jeeps had a cover that fit over the ammo box for the monsoon rains. Anyone know where to find one? Thanks Sgt.Sam

You dam right we had covers. Sadly we soon discovered that army ammo was not all waterproof and in Nam it didn't take long to fill ammo box.

We are at the bottom of the hill and they are at the top. We want to be at the top of the hill and we want them gone. Get it done by nightfall. Officers meeting over.

P.S. Don't forget to cover your ammo, it will be raining and it might get wet when you are wading through those neck deep swamps. :roll: :twisted: :twisted:

Don't worry Raymond. Notice in his list of organizations he belongs to one of them is the National Assoc. of Atomic Veterans. You will see him glowing for miles before he gets there. 8)
