Searching for Crickets333 viewsJim Puhala Photo

The kids would stage cricket fights. They’d get a couple of crickets, rile them up by jabbing them with twigs and let them go after each other. The photo has the kids, with some help from SP4 Guinn, WO Hosmun and others searching for some new combatants.
This photo was taken at Song Mau. We spent a lot of time there - waiting. We’d put out a recon patrol in the morning. They’d recon for a while; if they didn’t find anything, we’d pick them up and put them someplace else. If they did find s
