 SFC James Kyzer and Richard Avalos |
 On the left I believe is a Lucero (don't know first name). I can't remember the name of the other guy. I believe this was my going away party inside Barber Shop at Camp Sally. |
 Again Lucero |
 The other Lucero (I believe we had 2 in the Company - not related). This guy was so outstanding the first few weeks after he arrived that he got sent to the rear (Camp Sally) to become the Battalion Barber. |
 I know him but I can't name. |
 I believe the guy taking the picture was SFC Kyzer? |
 The other Lucero before he got sent to the rear. |
 A friendly that humped with us for what reason I never knew and myself. |
 I believe the guy standing is Henry Kapheim (Doc) - the others ? |
 Jaun Perez and Garald Dufresne |
 I believe he was from Hawaii |
