Okinawa Summer 1970, 30th Artillery Brigade. HHB sign and my own Change of Command ceremony at the brigade HQ sign. On it are the DUIs for the 1st Artillery, the 3rd Artillery, and the brigade DUI and SSI. Starched fatigues, a nice shine on the boots, and, oh those eye glasses. We still had the shiny belt buckle, and I had replaced the dorky Army-issue hot weather cap with a locally-made one.

So, why am I posting these photos on this topic?  Could it be this guy who is on duty?

 

...or the Duty Sergeant who is goofing off with their mascot?

 

...perhaps it's the Sarge's buddies in civvies - they look like payday loan sharks

 

or maybe it's these doggies, who have no money til payday and have to hang at the barracks with the cook

except for the guy on the right who never drinks or chases women and always has money at the end of the month

 

Nope

 

It was this guy and I WANT HIS GUITAR
