Jocko I know somebody who would be perfect for your podcast. He was in the Marine Core and served 13 months in Vietnam as a helicopter door gunner on a CH-46. He told me about boot camp and all the wild training they had to do such as Sear school and about the games the instructors would play to try and break you. His name is Terry and he was in 4 helicopter wrecks in Vietnam and survived them all somehow. One of the times they went back to get some soldiers despite being low on fuel and ran out of fuel headed back to base in the South China Sea. He door gunned in places such as Buzzards Roost, Way City, and Charlie's Ridge. He told me about doing night expeditions and taking up Recon marines up and they would parachute in for their mission. I imagine he would have a lot of stories since he spent 13 months in Vietnam. All in all he served 8 years in the Marine Core and left as gunnery sergeant. I think he would be as awesome guest and would like to tell you more about him if you have any contact information. It would be awesome to have another Vietnam veteran on your show, especially a Door Gunner. Thanks for your time and I hope to hear from you. ,Charlie

Thanks Charlie. Send Jocko a Note at info@echelonfront.com with his contact info. This site is not watched by the podcast crew. Terry might even know some of the prior guests who were also Hewey crews.

Lots of options. Facebook, Twitter, and email him at echelon front. Occasionally I will forward them along for those who need to maintain radio silence.
