Reactionary duty and the water buffalo

I received an email from Hank Duncan who said I should have been there when they had reactionary duty. Well Hank they still had it in 1969.

I don't know how many times a month we fell out for reactionary but I do remember one time during the monsoon season myself and another jarhead trying to sleep with rigged ponchos under a water buffalo, no Ma, not a REAL water buffalo but a water tank. In the morning we were soaked and covered in mud.

Reactionary, I remember it well.
