    I was stationed at Fort Bragg and our Photo unit was on Smoke Bomb Hill across the Street from the 18th Airborne Corps Sport Parachute Club. We were not SF nor Airborne. My CO got me wavered into NCO Academy at Camp Mackall. I was a SP4. The guy in the bunk next to me during that Academy was none other than SSG Wolcoff who ultimately became the Honor Graduate of that class. I was #38/130. I still have the Newspaper clipping of the graduation with Ed cutting a cake with his beautiful wife. I remember her picking him up after the 3 week course in a tiny yellow Honda. They were brand new in the US and it looked like a Clown Car. I had not thought of him until I read John Plaster's book and thought, I know that guy. I also was at Jungle training (filming it) with Wendell Glass outside Fort Eglin in FL. After my ETS in 1974, I worked with Jeff Mauceri who was in RT Washington.

    1 question , the mole from the USA in sog HQ , what happened to him .
    He was responsible for many brave men being killed .
    Heard it mentioned before with tilt , but not what happened to him. Hope he is still inn a dungeon, under a prison somewhere.
    Cheers

    Read about him in many of the SOG books that has been a pleasure to read since Plaster's book. Highly recommend Franklin "Doug" Miller's reflections of a warrior" among many very good ones along with both of John Plaster's books

    As an Army pilot who flew for CCN FOB 2 & 3 in 1968. Your point of the direction of Army aviation towards larger aircraft is well taken. The aircraft are so expensive that there is command pressure not to damage an aircraft. Plus the fact that the Army only has about 20% of the total helicopters it needs to fight anyone of size. We were unable to conduct concurrent full-scale operations in Iraq and Afghanistan because of the lack of Army helicopters and pilots. During Vietnam we bought over 10,000 Hueys.

    the compramise was conformed years later when the spy was awarded the highest award by the NVA and when one of the Recon men had taken a picture in the officers mess in sigon during opertions and there was the mole sitting at the bar in the back ground of the picture.

      He was actually in a photo with the CHIEF SOG and the Vietnamese counterpart.. the compromise occurred in 3 areas with him being the highest and longest serving mole.. Hope you enjoy all my interviews! Been doing these for 4-5 years now 👍
