| This trooper was with the 1/501st, this snake was on the compound. The Vietnamese told us it was a Black Mamba. |
Our job at the camp was to relay night ambush map grids to the Battalion, and our ambush sites to the
South Vietnam troops. A funny thing though, we had to use code over the radio to give out positions, but
the Vietnamese did not.
So just think,when they gave out positions there was no code that they used, just their own language.
Any North Vietnam soldier or Viet Cong who was listening to their radio would know exactly were our
troops were set up at night...SCARY THOUGHT.
