Jeffery P. Geringer, Sgt Bobby G. Extrom, respectively. Second Platoon is called upon time and again, to wreak havoc from the skies. Second Platoon's Fire Direction Center was led by FDO, GySgt james R. Loreman of Milton, PA and the Operations Chief, Sgt Richard C. Sgt Carter from Plater of Alpena, MI.

Cub Cubbage of Stanley, VA and the Platoon Sergeant Gysgt William H. Whitehurst of Denison, TX. First Platoon are the proud owners of the M101A1 105mm light, towed howitzer. Howitzers number one through four, commanded by Sgt Russel Bowers, Cpl Todd J. Tekesky, Cpl Mark A. Copsey and Cpl Vince Rosseti, have the ability to be helo-lifted by virtually any Marine Corps cargo helicopter. Consequently, First Platoon found itself conducting many heliborne operations. Requiring detailed planning and rehearsals, First Platoon mastered the concept of the friggin' artillery raid using the light M101A1 howitzer. First Platoon's FDO, 1stLt Carl Sidney Felton of jacksonville, FL, and the Operations Chief, SSgt john Rat Racine of Springfield, MA, rounded out the First Platoon's Team of excellence. First Platoon lived by its motto, If they haven't crapped their jeans by round number three, then we'll load with round four and give them some more. Back row: R. Bowers, S. Castaneda, W. Bacon, K.

Kill 'Y luv.- Third Platoon, Company D, Second AAV BN AMTRACS, workhorse of the amphibious assault. Their mission is to land the surface elements of the landing force and their equipment in single lift from amphibious operations to inland objectives, to conduct mechanized operations and related combat support in subsequent operations ashore. The AAV7A1 is a fully tracked, aluminum armored, diesel powered amphibian. It mounts an M85 50 cal. machine gun, smoke grendade launchers and a smoke generation system. Capable of ten foot plunging surf, it can operate easily on land and sea without modification. It is our goal that every crewman learn proper maintenance, operation, navigation and employment of their AAV. This includes proper terrain driving, immediate action drills, emergency procedures and firing the 50 cal. We got saggerdances, turret watch, mass casualty drills, armor piercing chaulk, Cobra fights, volleyball, boxing, engineer vehicles, the palace, the Sete cookoff, Montpielier liberty, cheese and rice, flowergirls and not enough repair parts. Now listen up gents: 35, how about taking the laundry off the antenna, 32, how far on the hardball, Let 37 lead, My feet don't hurt . . . your feet hurt?, No brains, no headaches, It's not my pole, Do you want some cheese to go with that wine? Tractor rats: Coonass, Bobo, Rod, Chief, Lud, Frank, LZ, Surfrat, Chaz, Chill-will, Mouth, Teddy Ruxpin, Spud, Bouncy, Wally, Hawkman, Mooch and the rest of the third herd. YAYTAS. The rest of the world has swimmers, the Marine Corps has Surfers. Gen. Gray
