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.

I have a photo(poor quailty photo) of an amtrack going passed their truck on operation, on the back it said that 30 of them in a row passed them. That would have been a sight!

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.
