Elias A. Kalatzis (aka Louie the Greek)
B Company 1970 – 1971
Was drafted and did Basic and 11B AIT at Fort Ord in California. Never went to jump school and the only other training I had was CLC (combat leaders course) at Camp Evans in Vietnam.
Had a two week leave after AIT then I was off to Vietnam.
Was assigned to the 101st and eventually ended up with B Company, 3rd Platoon, 1/327th. Was there from July 1970 to July 1971.
I humped the 60 for my first 5 months in country, thus one of the photos I sent, and I do have a CIB.
Am now a photographer and also manage a piece of family owned property and have done some acting in the past.
