Welcome home guys! I served with Recon 5/12 from about April 1970 to june 1970. My rank was staff sargent and had come from the Red One. In Cambodia I served as the Captain's RTO. My DEROS date was June 28 so my give a ---- meter was on zero. I read RAIDING THE SANCTIONARY and vividly remember Mendenhalls account of going to get those two downed pilots. I was walking drag with a PRC 25 on the way back. A Gook patrol walked right up on us.--- Any of you guys out there?
