JOTC 1966

Post by Jim »

Many years ago JOTC was in Panama Canal Zone. In 1966 JOTC belonged to US Army School of the Americas (USARSA). I was assigned there June 1968 - January 1969, when I returned to Viet-Nam. I was promoted to SSG in November 1968. C&C was shifted from USARSA to FORSCOM in late 1968. Toward the end of the video, you can see that JOTC belongs to USARSA.

Jumping into Gatun Drop Zone, negotiating Green Hell Obstacle Course, Waterborne ops on Devil's Beach and the Chagres River, and patrolling through the Mighty Mohinga Swamp. Those were the days. 8)
