Chico's Squad

In this photo I'm squatting 2nd from right, Nelson "Chico" Ramos (Pointman) - check out the wrist band. (in the other photo my hair was a sweat mop fresh off a hump - standing to the right).
Squatting next to me behind my right shoulder is Richard Lappin (RTO) -Notice his wide forehead and small crop of hair in the center (in the other photo, he's the one looking down standing in front of the guy with glasses).
(The Thumper/M-79ner) standing behind me was Brooks from Detroit. (in the other picture he's third standing from right to left).
Center front (M-60/Gunner) Joseph Mann.
Left front squatting, Hunter (in other photo, he's also in the lower front with his back to the camera - check out the shape of his big round head). That was Hunter.
Behind him, farthest left corner squatting, (Team Leader) Sgt Darnell?
Standing left side open shirt, Gary Bollinger from Kansas City (my Slack Man) - WIA
