MACV-SOG

Jerry “Mad Dog” Shriver started his deployment in 1966, and for almost 3 and a half years he kept extending. He spent over 1,000 days in country. Instead of debriefing and relaxing after a mission, Shriver would sneak out and tag along with another team for another patrol.

BREAKING: 11 tour SOF Veteran @joekent16jan19 labeled "THE QUITTER" by reservist harrier pilot ltcol @gregkellyusa , a man that couldn't find his flight suit after 9/11

You can disagree with Joe Kent all you want, but what you can't do is call his honor, integrity, and service to our country into question.

The only way

March 2nd, 1969 Recon Team Plumb 1-0 Michael May 06/07/47-03/02/69 1-1 William Evans 10/04/48-03/02/69 Recon Team Plumb was inserted into Cambodia on an area reconnaissance mission. As RT Plumb moved through the area they approached a wood line, and several members of the team heard the sound of rifle safeties being clicked, followed by a blast of weapons fire from the front and left flank. It was later judged that the team had been hit by a battalion-size NVA force from its base camp. The team fell back 60 meters to a mound located in the area. A perimeter was formed, and the enemy closed in on the position. Gunships were called in to repel the enemy advance. Later that day, a projectile thought to be a B-40 rocket exploded directly over the team's position resulting in wounds to 8 of 11 men. SGT Evans at that time sustained a lethal head wound and died shortly thereafter. SP5 May received multiple wounds to the head and chest and died 30 minutes later. The surviving members of the team moved about 60 meters from the area, leaving the remains of Evans, May and three ARVN team members behind. After the air support ended at nightfall the NVA renewed their attack, forcing the recon team to withdraw further, but they were unable to bring their dead with them. The team was recovered on the following day, but it was not possible to attempt to recover the dead. The remains of William Evans and Michael May have still not been recovered.

I’ve decided to make this break permanent. I appreciate you all for support over these last few years. This account will be handed over to someone else, and for those of you who I’ve become close with, I will do my best to keep in touch. This account is one of the things in my life that I’m most proud of. I will always be thankful for those that helped me along the way.

@Makistan1776 Life has decided it was time to start whooping ass. It’s alright, we’ll roll with the punches.

Really appreciative of you guys for 10k. Not much but it’s what I can do right now. Give away details: For my short kings - size medium TacDis Rugby. Like this to be considered. For everyone else - some Geissele swag. Comment to be considered. Randomly picking names for each at 5pm tomorrow.

Super pumped about 2 interviews I’m in the process of setting up. One vet was a CCS 1st Lt who was one of the 1st officers to run a team . He ended up at SOG HQ working with CHIEF SOG , then did some work at the SOG LIASON BUREAU. The other vet had 5 tours, 3 with SOG. He was in recon at CCN on RT NJ and Idaho (he was the incarnation before Lane and Owens disappeared) he then was the LIASON to the 219th Kingbee’s before he too went to SOG HQ as the head SNCO. -Picture is of a few CCS recon men our guest , Troy Gilley is the 3rd man from right kneeling. Babysan Davidson is the 1st man kneeling in the left side. Ernie Acre, Pops Taylor, Pete Neamtz , Joe Bertoni just to name a few are in this photo 🇺🇸
