B Company
2nd Tour |

Sometime
in May 1969 a couple of 6
Platoon B Company members were
caught 'drinking in the lines'.
They had to 'front' our OC
Major Ray Harring
and, at the very least, they
expected to lose their well
earned R&C (Rest and Recreation)
at Vung Tau.
Ray asked the 'Diggers', 'If
they would guarantee that it
wouldn't happen again'. The two
Pete's being as honest as the
day was long said 'no, they
couldn't give any guarantees'.
Ray requested 'Would you
at least try?'
The two Pete's agreed that they
would at least try to not let it
happen (get caught) again. After
all, they had a good supply
under their bunks and didn't
need any boozer ... they had
their own.
That was good enough for Ray. He
said ...'When you get back from
R&C you're banned from the
boozer for a week ... Your
dismissed!'
Good on you Ray ... you're sadly missed.
