The Battalion Aid Station Forward was a gathering place for medics. The old hands finished out their time in the field there and the line medics came for supplies and socializing. In this photo, our Battalion Surgeon, CPT Joel Rosenthal was standing at the far left. Reclining in front of him was SFC Alvin Watt, our NCOIC. Immediately beyond him is John Madigan, who arrived around the same time that I did. Standing on the far right front was Marvin Clarke, another one of the medics and a good friend. Barely visible in the back are Bill McCaulla (L) and Dave Senkovich (R). I have blanked on the name of the most identifiable guy, sitting in the middle, but I believe that he took Senkovich's place as the battalion 91Charlie (equivalent to an LVN).

Within weeks after I took this photo SFC Watt and John Madigan were on a resupply track that hit a mine. Both suffered massive injuries.
