“Me too - USMC artillery in VN.”

Over 70% of my life a sound like a TV station “test pattern signal” has been constant companion. Occasionally “sumphin” causes the pitch of the “sound” to intensify for a brief period. Reckon in part it’s an occupational hazard for once being an 0341 mortar-man.
Your tag indicates service as an 0811, so I’ll say Thank You for perhaps having provided support on one occasion or the other. Weather being such in I-Corp, artillery was more readily available that CAS.

Semper Fi

From what I read, William Shatner’s tinnitus is so bad he said a couple of times he contemplated suicide.

I spent a few months on a four deuce at Pendelton, then did my 13 months up on the DMZ on an 8" self propelled howitzer.
Firebases C1, C2, Gio Linh, Cam lo and many stops in between that only had an elevation number.
Was always glad knowing the grunts were close by, day or night. Muchas gracias.
