I'm guessing it means Mountain Standard Time, but that would be 1 time zone ahead of me (+ 1 hour), so the time would be off. MST is what my screen shows the time as too.

In the information on the Amtrack websight,(Amtrack platoon history) he mentions that they were attached to the " Magnificent Barstards" of the 2/4 Marnies, dose any one know how the name come about?
In the story it said that the 2/4 Marnies didn't arrvie untill,March 8 1968, I was reading a Naval unit commendation, for the 7th Regimental Landing Team, Citation, 18-23 Aug 1965, for an attack on the Van Tuong privatesula, preventing the NVA from attacking Chu Lai airfield, the 2nd Batt/ 4th Marnies, were part of this 7th Regimental Landing team.

But you'll find more pics and info (from Mike Kendall's AFV Interiors Web Magazine) if you follow the link given by Gino in his post...
