This is a true story about a farm boy from Bragg City Missouri in Southeast Missouri to Phu Bar, Vietnam. The book covers the first three months of Hal's twelve -month tour of duty, 10 November 1969-13 February, 1970. The reader is taken into the inner sanctum of the life of a helicopter FNG Aviators. Reading this book will give you insight into the conflict (war) that the average American following the war did not know existed much less appreciated. This book will take you to humor, sadness for the loss of life and frustration of our military leaders who could have ended this conflict (war) if only they would have allowed the courageous fighting machines available to do their jobs correctly. You will see through the first book a farm boy who joined the Marines so he could graduate from college to a fully engaged Marine. The transformation is remarkable seeing how the farnboy realized soon his main objective was to return home safely. But the process of this farnboy from a FNG to a hardcore "John Wayne type" of Marine is remarkable to read. While this book is about the authors first few months in country it is much more . It is about the love of fellow Marines " brothers" never leave a Marine behind was not just words to this group of Marines. Heros is defined by the author. But I will disagree with him on the definition. Because after reading this book everyone who was there to me are heros. Marines who simply followed orders did their jobs and did their best. Thank you all for your service and God's speed.
Review, “The Grotto†For all you readers out there who want to know what it was like to serve as a Marine helicopter pilot in Vietnam, this book is for you. For all of you who were, and are in Marine Corps aviation, this book is also for you. Hal Walker’s, “The Grotto†chronicles one marine’s journey from OCS, through flight school, and his twelve months as a helicopter pilot in I Corps, Vietnam. It is at once a personal story, but also captures the universal challenges, doubts, fears and camaraderie of all those marines who served in I Corps. We are able to witness first hand the transition from a “new guy†copilot, barely able to decipher the myriad assaults on one’s senses: multiple simultaneous radio communications, a dizzying start check-list, instrument cross referencing, responsible navigation to the actual required destination, and, Oh Yes, the tactile skills of actually flying the CH46, to a seasoned HAC (helicopter aircraft commander at the end of your tour, teaching the “new guys†what you once thought impossible to learn. Though I enjoyed Hal’s detailed accounts of flying CH46’s, I found the real value of “The Grotto†in the descriptions of personalities and the interrelationships among the “grottoites†and marine pilots and support personnel. Not all relationships between lieutenants and field grade officers were sacrosanct, and this was especially evident in those flights where copilot does not pick HAC, and HAC has your life in the balance. Hal also captured the zany and irreverent, often in full display, a necessary and reflexive response to the everyday stress of combat flying. Hal captured what I consider to be the zeitgeist of the pilots Hal and I knew intimately during our tour of Viet Nam; “The why of your presence in Vietnam is irrelevant, the more overriding concerns: not making a foolish mistake that kills your buddies, always flying into a medevac or extract regardless of the risk, and returning home to your family-these are preponderantly present. As Hal describes me, I was one of the old guys in HMM 262, I having arrived in July 1969, Hal in November. This perspective is so ironic, my memories as a fledgling clueless new guy overshadowing my memories of that thirteen-month tour. However, I do also remember the transition from naïve co-pilot to experienced HAC, one I would not have thought possible those first few weeks in Quang Tri. My tour with HMM 262 began in July and ended the next August 1969. I produced our cruise book and completed the writing, Peter Sawczyn my photographer mentor. For those of you who graced our squadron in ’69 and ’70, I hope the cruise book brings back memories, happy, sad, enthralling, indelible. Hal Walker’s “The Grotto†does just this for me.Ed Mowry, author of “So Close to Dyingâ€
As I joined Hal's squadron as a "new guy' just as he was turning into an "old guy," I heard many -- but not all -- of the stories related in the book in the Officers Club bar at Marble Mountain Marine Corps Air Facility, Vietnam. But Hal lived through these events that are in his "Book I." Nevertheless, I could echo what one other reviewer has said, in essence, that anyone in the squadron might have chronicled and written the events, but none surely could have written them as well. He has an exquisite recall of the details and the "trivia" of life as a Vietnam helicopter pilot and of the experiences that he lived; not only the major, often tragic, events, but the daily, common, and even "trivial" events that are normally soon forgotten. His amazing recall of small details was astounding to me.But on top of that, he has shown that he is a marvelous writer and storyteller, which he has exquisitely proven in this book. He has woven a truly mesmerizing story, not just a telling of facts, but about his personal experiences and feelings in the air and on the ground, and about and the others close to him in a way that in places brought tears to my eyes. He tells the story of a bunch of Marine pilots who are intrinsically moral. By that I don't necessarily mean religious; I mean that they not only know the difference between right and wrong, but they are committed to doing the right, the moral and the honorable thing, even in the worst of circumstances. Hal has captured that seemingly intangible sense and made it real, a part of everyday life there, while flying in America's first, and likely only, "helicopter war."My time among those pilots, crew chiefs, and gunners was to me, a stunning example of growing up "real fast." But I could not have captured the larger scope of that adventure, much less the minute details, and then painted such a moving, exciting, and imminently readable story as he has done.As any good novelist does, he captures the internal and external conflicts constantly occurring; he plots the course of the story with seeming ease; and he personalizes all of the characters so that the reader can know them as well as he does. And even has pictures!This book should be read by every American. But I am biased, I suppose, having been there. Yet, If you want to know what being a helicopter pilot in Vietnam was like, this is the one to read.Semper Fidelis. Always faithful. That is what this book is about.
