the Training at Ft. Erwin, CA in late 64 and early 65


TROOPER PHOTOS-VIETNAM 65-66


Here is another batch of photos loaned to me by Trooper Ed Selucky, A Troop, 65-66. These photos were
taken while to 1/4th Cav was station at Funston on Ft. Riley and there are a few of the A Troop Area at Funston and the
others are of the Training at Ft. Erwin, CA in late 64 and early 65 prior to our deployment to Vietnam.

QH went thru several months of training at Ft.Irwin, CA. This where it was decided
not to deploy to Vietnam with the 114's due to their high requirement for maintenance.

More of Ft. Irwin's uncompremising terrain.

This is either break time or we have a casualty!

The barracks provided at Ft. Irwin weren't award winning but it was better than
sleeping outside.

Don't wake me up until this war is over!

What the hell is that? a periscope?!
