Highlight of my trip: accompanying MPs and SPs on a trip down to the bottom of the hill in "civilian clothes" which consisted of a ratty T-shirt, cut-off blue jeans, a pistol belt with canteen and .45, boonie hat and combat boots. We went to a cantina in the village, drank some Pepsis, visited the home of an American official of some sort, then hiked back up the hill. When we got to the top, there were more Pepsis, courtesy of some local boys who carted a case up on their backs. Didn't treat much except for trench foot, one Airman with a HUGE hemorroid (evac'd to Tegucigalpa) and my own finger after I nearly sliced it off pulling out my knife to show off how sharp it was.<br /><br />I know it is 11 years since you posted this, and I hope you are still around to read this.
