Marine sleeping in a "bunny hole" on 881S.  Mar '68.  Most troops  slept during day unless needed for casualty evacuation (as stretcher- bearers), for three reasons: first, most incoming was during the day  when the NVA could see to adjust fire and it was therefore prudent to  keep as few Marines exposed as possible; second, we generally had  100% watch at night, so they needed the sleep; and third, since all  water had to be flown in at considerable risk to the helicopters,  they used less if they slept during the heat of the day.

Gunnery Sergeant Robert L. DeArmond of
I/3/26 - Mar 68.  He was bearded, as were all who could grow one,  because there was insufficient water for shaving without undue risk  to the helicopters.  Troops called him "The Viking".
