I have known Bob and his wife Charlotte for 15 years. They both are of the finest people you will ever meet. Over time, I have been lucky that Bob has shared with me some of his experiences in Vietnam. Some Absolutely amazing stories of daily life in the field. Luckily for us he made it out alive..... He has the ability to make everyone he meets feel important. Thank you Bob for taking the time to tell us your story.
ATTENTION - As per Bobs request - If you have questions for him leave them here. He is looking forward to seeing what you would like to know. Please be respectful on what you might ask Bob. Bob and i will try and get through as many questions you might have. Thanks J
Post Script: Part of what makes this and the previous interview Rich, is ‘not’ following a script. Bob tells stories and then something bubbles up and other insight gets are shared. Real, no show boating…. Jason bless you for your knowledge tenacity and grace to allow others to share their valuable experiences.
I think the important thing as interviewer is keep the flow going, be aware that not everyone knows these military terms, and most of all let vets speak ! Thank you for your feedback. J
After WerBell closed his PR firm to design suppressors for firearms, he incorporated SIONICS to design suppressors for the M16 rifle. The name was an acronym for "Studies In the Operational Negation of Insurgents and Counter-Subversion". Through SIONICS he developed a low cost, efficient suppressor for machine guns. In 1967, he partnered with Gordon B. Ingram, inventor of the MAC-10 submachine gun. They added WerBell's suppressor to Ingram's machinegun and attempted to market it to the U.S. military as "Whispering Death" for use in the Vietnam War.[7] WerBell is credited with over 25 different suppressor designs and the "WerBell Relief Valve", a mechanism designed for machinegun suppressors.[5] WerBell's modular designs and use of exotic materials such as titanium in sound suppressors influence their design to the present day.[5] SIONICS was absorbed by Military Armament Corporation (MAC), later called Cobray, where WerBell developed a training center for counterterrorism in the 1970s. The courses lasted 11 weeks and students included members of the military, high-risk executives, CIA agents, and private individuals.[6] WerBell concurrently ran Defense Systems International, an arms brokerage firm.
