Still using m14s? Interesting.

[@JCT442]

LKA 113 is USS Charleston. In 1976, she did a Med deployment from January to July, so this is very likely a Med deployment exercise.

Great information. Thank you!

THE THING THAT STOOD OUT TO ME WAS THAT EVERYONE WAS CARRYING AN M-14 ( THE FINEST INFANTRY RIFLE EVER...( jmo )

[@goforbroke4428]

Yeah, even in ‘76. Thought they switched to m16s by then.

Has to be in the 60,s. No Alice gear

[@kurttate9446]

Definitely not 1976. Uniforms and weapons put it in the 60's.
