All lined up and ready to go out to the LST. We'd drive straight into the waves and switch from track to jet. The LVTP7 would do about 8 knots in the water.
im not sure when this pic was taken but i do remember doing water ops with the reservists. this might just be the right op. sure was fun. there was this guy named butry from 3rd plt whos trac took a shit about 400 yds out. he freaked an i had to tow him in to shore. the reservists sure appriciated the lesson. tim depontes @ 2009-08-31 20:40:39
This was taken in early 1980 most likely but it is possible it was taken in very late 1979. I didn't get to Del Mar until August 1979 and had to go through the school before we got out on the ocean... AmericanJarhead @ 2009-09-01 12:14:32
