   SITREP is a military acronym that stands for, Situation report. A sitrep can be defined as; a short concise statement identifying a unit’s current
location and tactical situation. 
  

   SITREPS highlight the activities of Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta companies as well as, Recon, Aero scouts, HHC, C&C and T F Barker. 
Read on and you will find crisis, conundrum and comedy.

    Editors note:
.If you got hot steel in your body the incident will be mentionedon these pages. If your name is in the journal it will appear here. If you were snake 
bit, FUO, Dysentery, Malaria, heat exhaustion,  twisted ankle or broke back from a runaway Blivit there is only a 95% chance your name will 
appear on these pages. It is a good sign when your name does not appear at all. 1971 feels like a sad year. There are several accidental detonations's 
of Mech Amn's, there are several accidental shooting's where a grunt shoots himself in the foot or his buddy shoots him in the head. The war is winding 
down, they are running out of ink on the typewriter ribbons. The Drug problem is discussed often. Its easy to ask, "does any of this make sense".
