Reminds me of this: There was cement factory on the civilian side of the wire at Da Nang, It had a tall gantry and I was on guard on the post about 100 yards away also in a tower, I saw a couple of guys hiding in the tower and observing the Flight Line. Called it in and awaited orders, keeping them in my sights the whole time. The Guard Officer came on the line and refuesed permission to fire. He told me that they were sending "Mobile 2-7" to investigate. "Mobile 2-7" was Air Police and that drove a jeep reminiscent of Rat Patrol. They came with lights flashing and of course the two guys di-di'd.

About three hours later we got hit, in the area they had been observing!
