One of my Pay forms -Had to write in amounts so they could be seen

It is my short timers stick.
It is made from a 50 Caliber Bullet. Brass Casing & Projectile.
The stainless steel is parts of a 105 MM Howitzer Shell Primmer.
One of the D Company Guys got that for me out of the junk yard behind
our company motor pool.
The black center piece is part of the D Company Commanders, Jeep Radio
Antenna.
Also supplied from one of D Company Guys. Painted with black lacquer.
The leather is a boot lace.
The chain was on a ceiling fan in our barracks.
The dog tag is one of two that was issued to me.
I made it about 90 days before leaving. I carried it everywhere.
I yelled Short Timer, all over creation.

Here we have one genuine copy of a Certificate Of Completion, from the "290M Clark Tractor Scraper School." Located in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam. It's black & white in the copy. The original was Pure Black & White. The only colors available on the location at that time.
