Super 8 movies from field missions of the LRRPs of K Company, 75th Infantry early in 1970. There are two field missions on this video. The first is a standard LRRP four man team, Romeo 18. I was the assistant team leader. Gary Heald, Billy Powers, and Mark Estopare were my teammates.
The second mission is a double LRRP team sent to the site where three LRRPS were KIA a week or two earlier. The lone survivor of that team was Sgt Jim Doss who was KIA a few months later.
Both missions would be peaceful and uneventful. You didn't expect me to be taking home movies with bullets flying, did you? In fact,, there is a definite mood swing toward frivolity as the second mission winds down and the birds are in the air.
I have written several short stories based on my Viet Nam experience and combined them in a book called "Prowl". Check it out at https://www.createspace.com/3717329

Being a part of a LRRP team was very dangerous and important work.
