It Viet Nam I carried my dog tags with a Episcopal Servicemen medal and a p-38. A buck folder, a case 2 blade pocket knife. In my ruck sack a serviceman prayer book, socks, 2 c rat meals ammo a poncho liner a magnesium fire starter. In my shirt pocket a spoon, my cigarettes a zippo, in the other shirt pocket was a ziplok baggie my ID and a picture of my wife. I was issued a S&W combat master peace and 3 speed loaders my dad sent me. I was also issued an M-16 that was a ***, so traded some plywood that belonged to the army for a army Remington 870 shotgun. My flax vest was on the forklift or if in was inside the aircraft in was on the edge of the ramp along with the vest was spare ammo. in the rainy season the ruck and vest were wrap in a poncho.
