E2 Tim O'Brien introduces members of a squadron serving in Vietnam as well as the items they carry with them. In this section, he details the character's assigned items and includes the weight, writing, "pistol...2.9 pounds, unloaded...PRC-25 radio...26 pounds...grenade launcher...5.9 pounds unloaded (5).
