This hootch was across the road and 3 doors down from my hootch. When this one got hit, I had a 140 come in under my rack and didn't go off!! It wasn't my time yet. I believe the Marine looking off to the right is me looking down towards my hootch while EOD is digging the rocket out.dr -Submitted by: Donald K. Lange [dklange6@comcast.net] 2006-09-09

When I got to MMAF a month later, this hooch had been replaced by a new one. Harold Butch Erb was on the REPOSE with wounds from that rocket. Butch lives near Rockford, Il. and has 40 percent disability from that attack. -Submitted by: Paul O. Hunt [huntfarm@gotsky.com] 2008-04-20

The Marine looking right, looks somewhat like David Kleber, he lived in the hootch that was destroyed and had a shrapnel wound to his nose. I lived in the hootch directly east and that could be me crouching down although I don't remember sitting that way much. I was on guard duty that night out by the main gate. Just lucky I guess since my bunk was a mess of shrapnel and rusty tin when I got back the next morning. -Submitted by: David Gregory [uscgretired87@msn.com] 2008-05-29

That happened my first month at the camp. My hooch was not far away. Thanks for sharing. -Submitted by: Jim Van Dornick [jimvd@ez-net.com] 2009-04-30

I was there. I lived in the hooch to the left of the barrel in the fore ground. -Submitted by: Lawrence Keith Jacobs [j2006janan@yahoo.com] 2010-01-10
