John Quesenberry at bar with Jim Conde in foreground. Mannequin was sent in two pieces from the States by the girlfriend of possibly Bill Britt. Her nightie and wig and arms came in a separate box. Her lower torso came, with no wrapping, addressed to him thru the APO system. Enroute, several clever remarks had been added in black felt tipped pens at strategic locations.

John Q. standing next to his bird of war. Note new jungle fatigues that had to be scrounged from other units to replace stateside fatigues. The stateside fatigues gave you a bad rash after 10-12 hours at the stick. During May/June 67, the 187th flew more than 3,000 hours each month. We were neck and neck with the 116th "Hornets" as the AHC with the most hours logged per month in Vietnam. However, the 116th were returning to air conditioned hooch's and a fully developed Base Camp at the end of the day. We were living in tents and pulling maintenance with flashlights, and perimeter defense duties after the 196th Bde. left. (Photo and comments by John Quesenberry)
