18. Grenada 1983 - Our Commo Site in the Banana Station

The "Hilltop Hotel"

Wearing his Jungle Fatigues, Tommy Rowe stands in front of our Radio Communications Site in the hills a couple of miles or so inland (east) from Gouyave.  Somebody had made a sign out of the cardboard from a case of C-Rations and tacked it up over the doorway; "Hilltop Hotel".

The second day we were here was when I went on the truck ride to the Supply point at Salines.  I got a pair of Jungle boots.  Tommy Rowe stayed behind to operate the TAC SAT.  When we returned with a pair of Jungle Boots for Tommy we found that his pair of boots were two left feet, so he was out of luck.
