I'm sorry about the use of drugs but in the field use was not a problem when I was there. I saw it more in the rear areas but in the field life was different. Large base facilities had problems with every thing from drugs to race issues but I say again not in the field. By field I am stating 11F,C,G,H infantry. Well thats all I have to say about it.

Use of drugs was taboo in the boonies for us, where everyone had to depend on each other. There sure were a lot of parties back at basecamp though. Binoctal (God, I'd almost forgotten) was popular with blacks. I also remember a liquid French amphetamine dubbed, "Moonjuice."

Interesting days....

I was there over a year. The drug use in my circle was slim to none.
Some of the locals used various substances openly. Drinking alcohol was a problem for some. Today I see spoiled teens driving expensive cars and using parents money for alcohol and pot. Poor little creeps
