As a 20 yr old Navy Corpsman with a platoon of Marines in 1970 what surprised me was how young everyone was. I had 18 yr old squad leaders. Like the story in the Lord of the Flies. I watched these young men become savages.

That's interesting. That's when I was there also, went through two tours. I had a childhood friend who was an Army corpsman die in Laos that year. His baby daughter never met her daddy. God bless you Army and Navy corpsman, as brave as any soldiers.
Yes, we were pretty young. I was 20 when I got there, seemingly old for the average age.
