This is the "business end" of 3rd Platoon's bunker on Hill 4-11. Dean's platoon was outside working on the concertina wire when this shot was taken.

This picture was taken shortly after Charlie Company came back to Hill 4-11 after 30 days in the bush. It was time to roll up the pants legs and let the feet dry out, refill M-16 magazines, and drink a few warm ones. This picture was taken in same spot as LT Jim Wood's close up. LT Wood came in a few days after Dean left in February. The PRC-25 radio in the background of LT Wood's photo was probably the same one Dean carried. Notice the "foo" gas cannister in background.
