Tent Life
(See captions below.)

 

TOP PHOTO: Dave Smith writes, "That's my tent at Wildflecken in 1965. I did a lot of camping in Scouts prior to the Army, and my Scout tent was a large tarp with tabs that could be set up several ways. At Wildflecken on this occasion, I was not paired with anyone, so with my poncho and shelter half I made this tent configuration (top photo). I did other variations, all of which led the Lieutenant (Annan) to say, 'Can't Smith make normal tents like other people?'"

MIDDLE & BOTTOM PHOTOS: This tent and gear display involved the Davy Crockett Section of the 3/36 Inf for the purpose of German-American Day at Ayers Kaserne. In the bottom photo, that's Sp4 Washington kneeling in the foreground, with SFC Rose standing behind the tent.
