Bill "Wendy" Wendover - 67/68 - Basecamp

BW-83: Cpt, Max Bradley the original C CO, commander shown here at LZ Bayonet. Here Max is now Executive Officer of 1/6. He was proud of the luxurious growth on this upper lip. Four months of hard work waxing ,curling,training, and tender care had gone into its development. Cpt. Bradley went on R&R to Hawaii where he met his wife Annette who was coming in from Athens Ga. Then came the moment. The confrontation with his wife was near and Max twiated the long pointed tips of his mustache tighter as he strolled into the R&R Center. Ther just as he had dreamed of her, stood Annette. For a moment they stood looking at each other. "Hello, I'm Mrs. Bradley. Who are you?" She asked putting her hand out. Dumbfounded, Bradley automaticlly shook hands with her--then jumped back as she jabbed a finger at the brush swirling from under his nose. "That thing," The tone of voice striking fear into the man who had faced countless fire fights in Vietnam---" has got to go." " I tried to tell her it was okay with the Army but you know women, " Bradley laughed "--- I shaved it off."
