Ord California where he completes his Basic and Advanced Training as an Infantryman. Upon reassignment to Ft. Benning, he volunteers and becomes Point Man for the 4/12 Infantry of the 199th Light Infantry Brigade. (REDCATCHER) In his memoirs Antonio recounts the recon platoon’s endless patrol through steamy tropical jungles, sugar and rice fields, their face-to-face firefights with the Viet Cong and in Joint Operations with the Elite Black Panther ARVN Rangers their battle with North Vietnamese Army soldiers. He shares his platoon’s experiences as they overcome their wounds, their anguish, and frustrations over the loss of their officers and friends during the War in Vietnam of 1966, 1967.'view less
