Camp Hardy 1968/69
I was fortunate to be associated with a Boy Scout troop sponsored by the 1st SF on Okinawa. We met in a quonset hut in Camp Kue, near the Army Hospital. Maj. "Swede" Nelson was my first scoutmaster, followed by Spec. Fred Lammers. Great training for a kid. Camp Hardy was a special treat. 6 weeks long I recall. One week of survival, one of weapons (great fun!), one of comms (morse code - boring!), etc. Oh, the experience must have made a positive impact on me...I did choose a military career - but in the Coast Guard! Retired as an O-5. Anyone know what became of Maj. Nelson/Spc. Fred Lammers (All I remember is that he was a supply type and that he was from Ohio.)?

Camp Hardy 1969
I was one of the kids that spent the summer of '69 at Camp Hardy. Talk about a summer camp! Jumped the towers at Sukiran, skubadived, fired 16's and M-79's.Humped the boonies. Many of our Dads were 5th SF. Now that would not be considered anywhere close to acceptable (or PC) or whatever. I did not follow that path and become a snake-eater but it gave me a taste of what it takes to be one of the best and brightest this country has to offer. When we finished our "summer camp" the SF officer gave the ultimate complement to a bunch of 15-17 year olds when he said he would rather take us down South (to Nam) than any leg grunts. Never forget that. De Opreso Libre. Michael

I Hugh R. Taylor do not claim to be anything I'm not. I have official documentation to prove what I have accomplished. Anyone wanting to dispute my claims, be my guest I am up to
the task. I do not claim to have ever been a Green Beret, I was honored to be attached to the 1st SFG\ABN & the 10th SFG\ABN. I spent most of my military sevice with special forces
and went thru alot of SF training on Okinawa, I can back this up. This training was provided to me at CAMP HARDY COMBAT TRAINING CENTER OKINAWA 1st SFG\ABN, and the
special forces jump school at FT. BUCKNER, OKINAWA< that was ran by the first group.
