M203 Hungry w/C Coy 3rd Bn 17th Inf Regt 7th Inf Div

[Hungry]

Here's an old picture I just scanned into my laptop.... I'm 18.5 years old and on exchange with the US Army C Coy 3rd of the 17th Inf Regt, 7th Inf Div in Fort Ord Calif. 1 PPCLI sent 40 soldiers in Feb 1978 and the weather was beautiful..

M203 Fun... and this 40mm sure was fun to shoot. Freakin' accurate at 500m steel targets.

Ah... to be young and foolish!

Great pic.
I was at Ord '74 through most of '78. Some of the best weather in the world.

Cool picture but 500m is a bit of a stretch for conventional 40mm.

holy geez, I was born one year later. and then, when I joined, the combats were still the same colour.
