FSB Nancy

July 23, 2019 by David Adams 3 Comments

I was glad to visit with Dob Neuhaus at the Myrtle Beach reunion. He reminded me that we used to shoot the rats in our bunker with soap bullets. FSB Nancy was the first firebase I was at that we didn’t have to build ourselves. That was the good news, bad news was the old bunkers were infested with rats!

Now I remember! We would “pull” a bullet from an M-16 round and shove the cartridge into a bar of soap.

Gee whiz Wally! We can safely shoot our rifles inside the bunker!

Blam! One dead rat…haha. Thanks Dob!

    Remember that bunker well. Also remember after consuming not enough beers we would sack out wrapped in our poncho liners and listen to those rats doing their own reconnaissance.

    That’s definitely a restricted area, for sure!
