     we had to make the weapon as well, i started out with a 30-06 hunting   
   rifle ordered from the states, and then 2 years later a modified m14 for   
   about 6 months and then a barrett 50 cal. being a second lieutenant was   
   ok, but the higher up you went in rank the less you went into the field   
   in sog in the nam, retired as a ltcol when i was 58, wish i would have   
   made full bird, would have if i stayed in. ghillie suits are not that   
   hot, infact they will keep you cool in direct sun, and they keep bugs   
   off you, nothing worse than a mosquito biting you in nam. i had snakes   
   crawl over me and they never knew i was there. snakes are tasty don't ya   
   know.
