Marine sleeping in a "bunny hole" on 881S. Mar
'68. Most troops slept during day unless needed for casualty
evacuation (as stretcher- bearers), for three reasons: first, most incoming
was during the day when the NVA could see to adjust fire and it was
therefore prudent to keep as few Marines exposed as possible; second,
we generally had 100% watch at night, so they needed the sleep; and
third, since all water had to be flown in at considerable risk to
the helicopters, they used less if they slept during the heat of
the day.

Gunnery Sergeant Robert L. DeArmond of
I/3/26 - Mar 68. He was bearded, as were all who could grow one, because there was insufficient water for shaving without undue risk to the helicopters. Troops called him "The Viking". . Photo by, 1stLt.
