Trainees were rode hard and put up wet before jungle rot set into their legs, armpits, waste bands. That's something to live with no matter where you are in a tropic environment-- very painful in a hostile arena. Most
are more ways to die in the jungle instead of evading the enemy. Bugs, bugs, and snakes and poisonous plants -- all edible. Did you go through Vietnamese Village Familiarization? You had to hear them, smell them and hear them get drunk -- a sickening get-to-know the enemy. Thanks for your service.
