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. DFZ |

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. Darcy Zahn |
