Smilin' Ronnie Bryan from Missouri - one of our excellent M-60 Machine Gunners.  Ronnie, are you thinkin' how you can pull another one of your sneaky, lowdown tricks on one of our unsuspecting
buddies....... hmmmmm?

Speakin' of sneaky tricks, look at Ronnie's mischevious grin as he decorates a Mamason's hat! He then filled it with shaving cream and placed it smack on her head. Man, did that stir up a squawk.  Ha!
