Father did Jungle Survival in the Philippines in 1969 under a man who fought the Japanese in the Jungles during WW2 as a Resistance Fighter, he passed the course. just him and a old man training him. got a hand made Bolo Knife out of it as a reward. He was part of the U.S Navy Seawolves, a Special Helicopter attack Squadron put together to assist and support all SF, Spec Ops and Regular Military units in Vietnam. He wore Tiger Strips sometimes and sometimes the regular green uniform, he said it just depended on what they did. They pulled a lot of Seals,Green Berets, LRRPs out of some crazy fire fights, he said sometimes flying in you would think everyone went to K-Mart and got a Ak-47 that day lol. "intel would say yeah we got this team out here and their looking into enemy movements into the area and we expect a Company size element.

Absolutely right! When JOTC shut down in Fort Sherman, we lost a great asset. Native to Panamanian jungle, we diluted jungle warfare.

I went through JOTC when it was located in Panama. I was also stationed in Hawaii for a while. Hawaii doesn't really have jungle, it has rain forest. Panama has triple canopy jungle.

Same. The triple layer canopy at Ft Sherman was a real jungle. At night in the Panamanian jungle it was not fun. Also, we faced threats from wildlife, marine life, mosquitos and deadly ants that don't exist in Hawai'i. Ft Sherman JOTC had anacondas, piranha, howler monkeys, deadly ants, bushmaster viper, ferdelance, freshwater hammerhead sharks, black palm trees, jaguars and giant brown recluse spiders, to name a few things. Swimming across the shark & piranha infested Chagres River was actually dangerous since Jeac Cousteau's son was killed there. The Green Hell Obstacle Course was the toughest in the military at the time at Ft Sherman. Hawai'i jungle is nothing compared to the green hell triple layer canopy, deadly, jungle of Panama. One of our scout snipers got bit on his genitalia by a brown recluse at Ft Sherman so we had to have him jungle extracted up through the triple layer canopy by helocopter. Never saw him again. He got medical discharged. I've still got photos of that place but none from inside that triple layer canopy jungle cause it was too dark for outdoor film camera. Too dark for our NVGs to work at night.

I can tell you that I took part in some of the very first sessions in 1986-87. They were calling it a few different things in the beginning such as "light fighters course" Ranger indoctrinate course or RIC and Jungle School which was being done in Panama but they wanted to change locations to a state side local. 125th Sig, 125th MI, 25th ID Division Main.

Yes, I remember all the threats, also the long spine black sea urchins, swarms of leaf cutter ants, army ants, parasol ants in the bullhorn acacia, poison arrow frogs and vampire bats. I got spined by the black palm once slipping on the mud. Scorpions crawled in gear and clothing edges, horse fly or assassin bug bite on my nose. Dislocated my right knee on the commando crawl when dropping while swinging, rushed off by the guy behind me...but I had done extensive karate stretching so it popped back in, nothing torn...lucky, even the medic was amazed. Made a pop sound after hanging free, never hurt luckily and I finished the course. Saw a green moray eel in the tidal pool, huge teeth and the tail tip of a ferdalance go under a big rock. The basilisk lizards running across the water as the howler monkeys hooted and growled overhead. My uniform tie died with salt patterns carrying my own weight in equipment. Unforgettable experience for sure.

I graduated JOTC at Ft Sherman Panama, Green Hell, in 98. It was triple layer canopy jungle, black palm, vampire bats, anacondas, piranhas, giant spiders, furdilance vipers, monsoons, dark clouds of mosquitos, fresh water hammer head sharks, baricudas and stinging jelly fish. It was just 'one' of the best experiences from the Army. If you're not a happy masochist and you're all about safe spaces, respectful language and you expect comfort, 8 hrs sleep, hot chow daily and pizza parties then don't enlist in the Infantry. The infantry is for hard, pain loving, warriors, not for Wokism and POG's crying about toxic leadership.

Yeah, it never occurred to me we would have to leave Fort Sherman when we ended the Canal lease. Shame, we should have kept that. Seems wrong we gotta pay to cross something we built. I looked at Fort Sherman on Google Earth and it looks deserted. I remember doing security on the Canal as a US SUB went thru.

I graduated JOTC Ft Sherman Panama in 1998. Last cycle to go through before we gave it back to the Panamanians. I went through with 3/327, 1st BDE 101st Div. Nobody slept on the ground in that deadly triple layer canopy jungle at night. Swam across the shark & piranha infested Chagres river. My team set the 2nd fastest time on the green hell obstacle course in history. NVGs don't work at night in the triple layer canopy of the Panamanian jungle. Everything in the Panamanian jungle would kill you. They didn't call it Green Hell for nothing. The black palm trees got some of our men. Triple layer canopy, Ferdelance, Anacondas, Cayman Crocs, Pirahnas, giant spiders, fresh water hammerheads, black palm, howler monkeys, army ants, clouds of mosquitos and the large aggressive crabs that invaded mainland from the sea each night. Hawai'i is missing all those terrible things that we faced in Panama. And we didn't just train jungle survival in Panama but we also trained jungle warfare & basic waterborne operations.

@@SoldierDrew I was there with 1/327th 1st Brigade in Jan/Feb 1986. Some of our Sgts were infantry in Vietnam and there said the Panama jungle was worse than Vietnam. When we arrived at JOTC in landing craft they made us jump into the bay with our gear and weapons and swim ashore. We were the and heard about the space shuttle blowing up over the PRC 77. Such good times. They show Ft Sherman in the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace in the boat chase scene. Check it out.

I have seen a lot of Weird lastnames when I was in the Army. I was stationed with the 25th ID 97-00 65th Combat Engineers HSC. Just because she has a weird lastname and a Female doesn't mean she cannot teach. Lesson from Vietnam female VC knows more about the Jungle than any American and they have Weird lastnames.

@@quickzilver333 hey quick, I was being facetious, brother... I used to wear a funny green hat....we used to work with and further train indigenous populations (it’s referred to as nonconventional warfare and force multiplication) that could operate many times more efficiently in their environments than we, initially. So, yes, when you are familiar with your environment bc you’ve lived there your entire life, absolutely
