Lt. Burtchaell asked Howard to draw the firing chart for Ruth before we left Joyce.  This is the result of my efforts.  I have no idea if it was right.  If you notice the split toward the right side, this reflects where the rectangular lines of the eastern hemisphere and western hemisphere maps meet on a round planet.  One would have thought after an almost a decade of military effort in Vietnam, someone in the Army might have thought it a good idea to mention it at FDC training at Ft. Sill.

Perimeter bunker.  I think this was the only one that our battery was responsible for manning at night.  A swarm of bees/hornets/whatever was making a nest and making things rather unpleasant.  Joe Spigarelli created a makeshift beekeeper outfit and was spreading gasoline to dissuade them.
