In early January, having only been in country for a little over two months, PFC Prather ...


When I arrived in Vietnam a year after Prather’s death, we Marines were told that if we could survive the first four months, we had a good chance of making it. Every single Marine, that I knew who was killed, indeed only made it three months. Hence why you didn’t like to make friends with the new guys. And Prather was among hundreds of Marines who died from booby-trap wounds — a real killer in Quang Nam Province.

Sorry, meant to say five straight road games. Mea culpa.

8 runs in 5 straight SEC ROAD games

… And no wins to show for it. Go figure.

EDIT: Sorry, 5 straight ROAD games.

Still, you’d think 8 runs would be good for a couple of road wins.

That was one of the “fastest” home runs I’ve seen in a while.
Has any other SEC player hit 4 HRs in a game?
Two of the greatest spectacles of my life came one afternoon when two F4 Phantoms dropped their entire ordinance only 200 meters from our position; and then one night when a C-47 Spooky gunship worked out on our perimeter to save this old Marine’s arse.

My only experience with A-10s was when fishing at Miller’s Lake near Ville Platte when the Warthogs made their daily runs out of the old England AFB in Alexandria.

Dr. Abbot could be the star of this show with good writing. Charisma with a capital C.
Shooter

The movie with Mark Wahlberg is a good one but Bob Lee Swagger was written by Stephen Hunter with actor Tommy Lee Jones in mind. Tall, rangy and spoke with a slow drawl like he was indeed from northwest Arkansas.
