Life on a firebase was interesting. 

Sometimes we had really nice views of the beautiful countryside of Vietnam. 

And we knew we were reasonably safe because we had concertina wire around our entire hill and soldiers from the infantry pulling guard duty for us.

So we didn’t really think that much about sappers and mortar attacks.

When we arrived on a new firebase, it seldom took us long to develop a simple routine for our daily lives.

We kept our fire direction control center neat and ready to go into operation at a moments notice. That was our first job.
