HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR STORIES AND PICTURES
STEP 1 Get out the shoebox where your old Southeast Asia snapshots or slides are stored. Look them over and see if they bring back memories from the recesses of your 25 to 35 year old memory cells.
STEP 2 Sit down at your computer, typewriter or desk with a pencil and paper and write out a story or two. If you can’t do any of the above, let us know and we’ll even arrange to take your oral story over the telephone. You’ll get full credit for your story in the book. Start your story with the following heading, which will stay with your story until we are ready to go to press:
File Name: (example: 5-68 Doe-1) This is important, the first numbers are the approximate month and year when the story took place, next is your last name, then a dash and number of this story, first, second, third and so on. In the example, the story took place May 1968 and was submitted by a FAC named Doe and it is his first story

A word about
pictures. Photos can
make all the difference. They can
make a good story a great one. We’ll
accept scanned pictures, snapshots, 35mm slide, official 8x10s or even maps.
We will scan them into our computers and return them promptly.
But, realizing what can happen in the in the mail, please don’t send
your priceless, irreplaceable treasure. Take
it a good photo shop and have it copied and send us the copy. Label an inside envelope with the same information as your
story, from step 2 above. Send your
pictures to Charles Pocock, 910 Forest View Road, Monument CO 80132 charmarpock@aol.com
