Run Between the Raindrops
“It’s festooned with radio aerials and antennae and looks like a porcupine on wheels. There’s a full colonel riding shotgun and he wants to see the attached combat correspondents. A runner finds us wandering around with a platoon from Golf Company and leads us to the meeting like a couple of condemned convicts. Colonels don’t personally confront sergeants unless they’re pissed about something so gross it can’t be handled by a lesser entity.
The colonel is one of the guys running this show fr...om Task Force X-Ray, and he’s up from his CP at Phu Bai visiting units in Hue. He eyes our disheveled appearance and unshaven faces for a long moment before deciding he’s got a more pressing issue at hand. “You two are Division Correspondents?”
We introduce ourselves. No salutes or handshakes. The colonel’s aide checks his notebook and nods. Apparently we are indeed the culprits his boss is seeking. “I understand you two know some of the Marines up here at the AFVN station?”MoreLess
