I was with A Troop, 2nd Platoon, from 8 Feb 1970 - late June 1970. My PMOS WAS 11E, but was assigned as an M-60 gunner on the 21 track, under an 11D slot. Buck Sgt Green was my track commander. We saw combat up around the, "Rock Pile", Khe Sahn," unofficially in Cambodia" on a S&D mission, and other locations North and West of Dong Ha, which was where our base camp was. At the time, we were attached to the 1/5 Mech out of Quang Tri. Grew up in a hurry.
