I dismounted and left my horse in the road but kept my eyes on the buildings in front of me.

"How did this happen?" I asked but wasn't really expecting an answer until I noticed that my amulet was very warm against my chest, and that sent a chill down my spine. Sergeant Chuang was quickly approaching me also.

"Chief Ranger Trainer, may I speak to you in private?" he requested in a loud voice for the other men to hear.

"Certainly, Sergeant Chuang, let's step over behind my horse," I answered in just as loud a voice and led the way back to the other side of road behind my horse.

"How did this happen and what are these buildings?" I asked very quietly when we were alone.

"I don't know how it happened, Guardian, but theses are not the same buildings that were here yesterday," Chuang told me very earnestly.

"I remained here after you left yesterday to check the buildings and see just how bad they were as these were some of the oldest buildings on the camp. I left after checking each one and was sure that we would need to replace major parts of the buildings to use them. It would also require time to clean up the area and cut or remove the grass and weeds.

"When I returned early this morning, I was shocked by what I saw here and couldn't understand how the buildings had changed. I inspected the first building very closely and the others to confirm what I had seen.

"Guardian, these are not the same buildings that were here yesterday. You don't need to be an expert in building construction to recognize that. The original buildings were poorly constructed. These are not only built better but are longer and wider. The area has also been cleared of the tall grass, weeds, and trash plus the ground has been compacted around and between the buildings. There is even a large sign in front of the first building that reads 'Ranger Training Company'. It has a set of silver wings as you directed yesterday plus there is a Siamese Army Insignia that I do not recognize under the words," he finished in a very quiet voice.

"We will inspect the new buildings once we have the men busy. Do you know if any of them can read and write well?" I asked.

"Yes, there are two men who I know who are well educated and can do both," he told me.

"Call them over here if you would, and I will explain what I need them to do," I told him, and he called two of the men over.

"This is Sip Tho (equivalent to a Corporal) Ronnaring and Sip Tri (equivalent to a Lance Corporal) Kwaikai. They both read and write Thai," Chuang told me after we finished the greetings.

"Good, is there another Sergeant here?" I asked.

"Yes, there is one other here, Chief Trainer. Do you wish to see him also?" Chuang asked, being more formal with the others present.

"Not presently. While I explain to these men what I want, I would like you and the other Sergeant to organize the men into groups of ten and by the unit that they came from. We'll begin processing shortly," I told him. Chuang went to get the other Sergeant and began organizing the men. I had instructions for the two who would be doing the writing.

"Are both of you here to volunteer for this new unit?" I asked them first.

"Yes, Krup!" they both answered enthusiastically.

"Good! Then I have an assignment for both of you, and it is a very important one. We need to get the names, ranks and units for all of these men so we can recall them when we are ready to start operations," I told them before explaining how I wanted them to do that. I had lined a number of sheets of paper yesterday to make forms and Chanthra had written in the headings for me in Thai. I showed them one of the sheets as I explained how to fill it out.

"Since both of you are volunteers, you may start the sheet for your unit with your names. I have the rest of the paper and the writing materials in my saddle bags. We'll collect it and then see what there is in the way of something to write on."

I removed the saddle bags from my horse, and we went to the first building to look for any sort of furniture that could be used as a desk. There was a lockable room on the open ground floor of the barracks where we found cooking equipment along with a couple of small low tables they could sit behind.

My two new clerks were soon set up to start recording the information on the volunteers. The Sergeants also had the men organized, and I had them send the first group to the clerks.

"This is Sergeant Jatuporn," Chuang told me once that was accomplished, and the Sergeant and I had exchanged greetings. There were nearly 50 men here now as others had continued to arrive as we got organized, and I was anxious to check out these buildings.

"Can you handle things here while Sergeant Chuang and I inspect the barracks?" I asked the new Sergeant.

"Yes, Chief Ranger Trainer!" the Sergeant answered quickly in a loud voice.

"Fine, keep the men here when they finish the paper work. I want to speak to them before they leave. We'll be finished shortly," I told him before Chuang and I headed for the stairs to the upper floor of the barracks.

A quick inspection of the upper floor revealed rows of sleeping platforms with storage under them. The construction of the walls and especially the roof trusses appeared very new, and it was obvious that metal fasteners had been used on them. This led me to believe that these buildings were either from a later time period or had been constructed for a very permanent installation somewhere here in Thailand, probably in or around Bangkok.

"Very interesting, are the others similar to this one?" I asked Chuang.

"Yes, they are all the same, and as I said they are larger than the previous buildings plus the construction is heavier. These buildings should last a very long time," he told me, and that was when I remembered where I had seen these buildings, or at least this building before. It was at the Army camp in Korat in 1965, and this building was then the Ranger Museum. A chill went down my back as I looked around and saw again this area as it would appear in 110 years.

"Yes," I agreed, "these buildings will last a very long time," but that was all that I said.

On returning to the ground floor, I had Sergeant Chuang assemble those men finished with their initial registration paperwork so I could speak to them.

"Thank you for coming to volunteer for Ranger Training. It will be a few days before we are ready to begin receiving men for training. Your current Commanders will be notified when to release you to begin training here. At that time, there will be a more detailed interview of each of you to determine what your background and experience in the Army is. You may report back to your units until we are prepared to begin training," I finished and had Sergeant Chuang release them.

A trickle of men was still arriving and Sergeant Jatuporn had been forming them into ten man units to await their turn with the clerks. Several Officers also approached a short time later, a Captain and three Lieutenants. I went out to greet them.

"You can join the other men at the end of the line," I told them after the greetings were finished.

"We are Officers and do not wait in line behind common soldiers," the Captain said in a snide voice.

"A Ranger Officer insures that all of his men are taken care of before he sees to his own comfort or well-being," I informed the Captain who only looked belligerent on hearing this.

"From your attitude and behavior, I don't believe that you are Ranger material Captain, and I will NOT accept you or others like you for Ranger Training," I told him to a startled look from him. The three Lieutenants had appeared shocked on hearing this, but a little voice had whispered in my head that he had been sent here to sow discord in the training unit.

"We will see about that," he remarked in a snotty voice, as he turned and left the area. The Lieutenants moved over behind the other men without saying anything. Sergeant Chuang came over and we moved away from the other men.

"There will be trouble from that one," he whispered to me.

"Possibly, but the Amulets whispered to me that he had been sent here to cause trouble by those in charge here," I told him to a shocked expression from Chuang.

"The Amulets!" he whispered in surprise. I reached for the necklace holding the amulet that Chanthra had given me and showed it to him. His surprise only increased.

"That is a very powerful amulet, Guardian. If it spoke to you, then there may not be as much trouble," he whispered before we returned to speak to and dismiss the next group of men. I then spoke to the clerks telling them to put all of the Officers on a separate sheet of paper.

Later we were down to only a few remaining men when another Captain and two more Lieutenants arrived. I went out to greet them and gave them the same directions. This Captain, Prawit Wongsuwan, didn't have any problem complying with my directions. He was a short powerfully built man and led the Lieutenants over to the slowly shrinking line.

By noontime approximately seventy men had been here to register and there was no one left in line. I went to check on the clerks.

"Have you entered Sergeant Chuang's and Sergeant Jatuporn's names on the sheets yet?" I asked them.

"No we haven't, Chief Trainer," the Corporal replied, obviously having been informed how to address me.

"There is a sheet labeled 'Training Cadre'," I told them, "enter their names on that and also your own names. All of you will be assisting me in getting the unit organized. It will mean extra work for you in addition to the training you will be taking the same as the other men, but I believe that all of you of capable of handling it," I told them to smiles before changing the subject.

"Will all of you still be able to eat at your unit for the mid-day meal?" I asked them.

"Yes, it is not too late. Should we return here when we finish?" Sergeant Chuang asked.

"Yes, return here. I have things for the clerks to do this afternoon, and I need to go over some things with both of you Sergeants, so you will understand what needs to be accomplished over the next week or so," I told them.

"We will return after our meal," Chuang assured me as they prepared to leave. I collected the completed paperwork and the unused forms and paper, and replaced them in my saddlebags. This was when I remembered my horse. I had been so busy on arriving here that I had completely forgotten about him.

I found him just past the third barracks. Someone had unsaddled him and secured his reins to a large stone so he could browse on the grass there but not wander too far off. The saddle was on the ground floor of the barracks. I needed to thank someone, but would need to find out who. I found several other items there with the saddle – things that I hadn't brought with me.

The first was a bag with grain in it for the horse in addition to a large jar of water plus a bucket for him to drink from. Next was lunch for me, a large serving of Kao put gai (chicken fried rice) wrapped in a banana leaf along with a spoon, but not one of the little white plastic spoons that came in American C-rations. Additionally, there was some cut up fruit wrapped in another banana leaf bundle.

COL Page had returned to Lop Buri late on Friday and arrived at his office at 0900 hrs on Saturday morning. LTC Hawkins was waiting for him, as their quarters are next to each other, and he was aware that his boss was back. "Here you are, sir," LTC Hawkins said, as he entered his boss's office.

Soon the only ones left there in the mess hall were the CO, Sawyer, Barlow, Morris and me. We all had a second beer. “What the hell is causing these ‘Ammunition Malfunctions’, as everyone is calling them?” the CO asked of no one in particular. “Sir, it has to be sabotage. That much explosive just doesn’t go off by itself. Even if someone were careless, it wouldn’t set off everything like that and apparently at the same time. Although how a saboteur could arrange it all to go off at the same...

Back out on the village street, we continued toward the Wat, as the sun was close to setting. We reached the masonry walls around the Wat while the sun was still visible, making it about 1815 hrs. The walls had been painted or whitewashed at some time in the past, but portions of the paint was now peeling. There were gardens of various types of vegetables on both sides of the Wat and presumably behind it also, which were tended by the monks. We passed through the gate into the Wat and looked...

"Must you wear the guns here in town?" Chanthra asked looking at me with a frown on her face. That stopped me dead in my tracks. I had never considered not wearing them. Having a weapon at hand had become a way of life for me over the last nineteen plus years that I had been in the Army. It had been reinforced significantly in Korea during the war, and became a way of life when I joined Special Forces a short time after leaving Korea. "Is it necessary, my Champion Mike?" she asked again...

During the formation, MSG Sorenson checked everyone’s uniform and medals before the Major appeared, and he reported to him that everyone was present. The Major had a few words for us before we prepared to leave for the Airbase. “Nawng-awn should be a peaceful place. However, we will carry our weapons and six magazines of ammunition each just in case it isn’t as peaceful as it is supposed to be. We’ll be leaving for the Team House to draw weapons right after the formation.” He then turned the...

We continued until about noon. The cart only made three or four miles an hour where the road was in good condition, which wasn't always the case. There were a few places where it was so bad that we had to get out, and push the cart from the back while Ute encouraged the buffalo from the front. Thankfully those places were few, but less bad spots than that were frequent. Around noon, Ute pulled the cart off the road, and under the shade provided by some tall trees and stopped. "We stop...

The cooks had received extra food on this week's shipment, and prepared a very nice meal for us on Christmas, but there was no real celebration, no trees or gifts. Of course the Thais don't really celebrate Christmas, but they were happy to join in eating the extra food provided. Payday, the 31st, was on a Wednesday...

Chanthra had purchased two large conical hats made of straw and bamboo before we left the village. I had wondered why at the time, but the reason soon became apparent on the ride. "Here put this hat on," she told me handing me one of the...

The Amulets of Power III the Kennedy Wars Part 2Chapter 2

Fields dropped me off at Ploenchit Road and continued back to the Team House, while I walked the few blocks to the Nana. I was soaked when I got there from Bangkok's heat and humidity. The air conditioning in the lobby felt really great. I went up to the room where I found Suenee talking to two of the women who worked at the hotel. The women left just after I arrived and Suenee took one look at me and said, "Shower." I knew better than to argue by now and collected my other clothes and...

The Amulets of Power III the Kennedy Wars Part 2Chapter 8

The rest of the morning was pretty dull with only a few good bits of conversations to be captured. It wasn't until after lunch that we picked up the Attapu station again. John went to get Ernie while I recorded it. There was shouting again at both ends of the transmission. Ernie was laughing his ass off after he came in. They finally signed off, and Ernie eventually managed to stop laughing enough to talk to us. "What the hell is so funny?" John asked, as he turned from his receiver to...

I was awakened again by Suenee shaking my shoulder. There was barely enough light to see in the room. "You must return now," she said, when she saw that I was awake. I reached out and pulled her to me. She offered no resistance and came into my arms for a long kiss - but not too long. "Shower," she told me in a no-nonsense voice. We adjourned to the shower again. I was better prepared this time, but that water was still cold. We both showered and dried off. When I came out of the...

We moved as quickly as possible toward the Aviation area in the near total darkness of this moonless night. Chinese New Year is celebrated on the new moon, and it was very dark here in the Shan States at night without the moon. There were no lights showing in the town either. The Aviation people that we encountered on the way were very nervous, but we managed to get to their command bunker without getting shot. "What were those explosions? We couldn't contact your Operations," Captain...

Captain Tamusarit (Cowboy 6) was early with his report that evening. "Old Hand, Old Hand, this is Thai Cowboy 6. Over." "Thai Cowboy 6, this is Old Hand. Over." "Old Hand, this is Cowboy 6. Is your Six available? Over," I handed the mike to the Major who was standing next to me now. "Cowboy 6, Hand 6. Go." "Hand 6, Cowboy 6. My people are all back from their patrols.

When Sergeant Tweed returned from Chiang Rai, he was very busy for the first hour or so. Later he took me aside to talk. "I spoke with Noon while at the house. She is very lonesome and anxious for you to return. She asked me to tell you that," Sergeant Tweed informed me. I had been thinking about her a lot also while on watch with nothing more strenuous to do than listen for a call on one of the radios. I had decided that I needed to see her again. I certainly liked her a lot, and not...

The payday bird arrived pretty much as usual at around 0900 on Friday the 28th, and we were setting down in Chiang Rai just after 1030. Sorenson reminded everyone to stay alert in case of a recall before we were all released to get paid. Starling and the others from the Red Tigers headed for their unit here on the Airbase, while Tweed, I, and the other Special Forces people headed for the Team House. Suenee, Phesila, Noon, and our daughters were waiting there for us when we arrived. Noon...

Friday, the 2nd of January, 1970, started out just as cold as the previous day had. After sending the daily report to the B-Detachment last night, I had returned to bed for another two hours of sleep before relieving Starling just after midnight. I re-tuned my radio to the 20 meter shortwave band and listened for any signals that could be originating here in the Shan States, as I believed this was the most likely wavelength that an agent here would be using to contact his superiors in...

The trip from Bangkok back to Korat is about 260 km, more or less by road. We pulled out of Seri Court just after 0830 and made good time once we got out past Don Mung airport. We took the turn to Sara Buri and headed up Friendship Highway. I had a much better view of the trip from the elevated cab of the deuce and a-half then I had had from the pickup truck coming the other way. It was shortly after passing Sara Buri and before we reached the climb to the Korat plateau that I started to...

This morning I shaved before going to eat, as I knew that Phillips had started the water heating after getting off guard and it would be hot by now. Also the cook had just arrived as I was getting off guard, and breakfast wouldn't be ready for a little while yet. Breakfast at around 0700 was very quiet and everyone took care of last minute things after that. Then they finished loading their jeeps with their rucks, ammunition, weapons and at least one five gallon can of water. De Foor came...

"Tomorrow is the last payday that we will have requiring a split shift, as next payday we will all be on our way to Chiang Rai, and then back to our regular assignments, at least most of us.

When we returned to our house shortly after midnight on New Year's day, Suenee seemed very distracted. I was sitting on the bed when Suenee came over to me. "Can we do something different tonight," she asked, but seemed worried. "Sure. What would you like to do?" I asked. "I ... I have been talking to some of the younger women, the ones that work in the bars," she said nervously. "They have told me that it is not a big thing to do." "What is?" I asked, confused.

Tweed and I left for home after the Major finished. I locked the commo room and returned the key to the CQ. We returned to the hotel to drop off our LBE and picked up a clean set of tiger fatigues to change into in the morning. We didn’t run into, or see anyone on the way to the house, but were...

Chinese New Year had been at the end of January in 1968. There had been an uprising in South Vietnam by the Viet Cong. They called it the “Tet Offensive”, and it was a colossal failure. They had too few personnel and weapons for the grand offensive that they envisioned, as they had counted on the civilian population rising up to join them along with major units of the South Vietnamese Army. That didn’t happen, and they were easily defeated by the South Vietnamese Army with the aid of some...

I awoke just after 0430 hrs. As tired as I had been when I turned in, I felt fine now and crawled out of my nice warm sleeping bag to be greeted by a very chilly morning. I dressed quickly and headed for Operations, the coded messages, and the code book. Williams was on radio watch. He looked a little tired and cold. The radio was quiet, and the generator was the only sound to be heard. "You can go to bed, Williams. I'll take over," I told him as my eyes grew more accustomed to the...

I had just started to open the shipping case in the commo bunker when Meadows came in. “I want to see what this thing looks like,” he told me, as I opened the locks on the case and removed the top. The main unit was in the middle of the case surrounded by foam and the other modular units. Spare parts, manuals and tools were in the bottom under these units. “Are you just running code here?” I asked Meadows. “Yes, that’s all we can do with the GRC-109. What will that baby do?” “You can run...
