3stooges Pillar of the Community United States 511 Posts	Posted 09/12/2006 9:16 pm I'm writing an article on MPCs, and I'd like to talk with experts (dealers and/or advanced collectors) in the field. I'm also looking for real life tales from military veterans with some interesting MPC-related experiences. Report this Post to the Staff

Morgan Fred Rest in Peace United States 2684 Posts	Posted 09/12/2006 9:28 pm First, 4stooges, welcome to the forum! We're all pretty friendly and the knowledge database is incredible! There's a number of us veterans in the group and many or most of us have had experiences with MPCs (Military Payment Certificates for those who don't know). I still have a small number left over from my year in Vietnam. However, I believe longnine collects them (and military tokens) and has a fair amount of expertise on them. I have a tale of my four day adventure as C-Day (Conversion Day) Officer in which I was flown around the entire Americal (23rd Infantry Div) Area of Operations in my own OH-1 LOH helicopter taking in, then swapping out MPCs in the middle of the monsoon season. Other than getting shot at, shooting back in turn, having Vietnamese almost forcibly try to push their old MPCs on me to exchange for the new issue, disrupting a VC party in the middle of the jungle, black market revelations, and losing a fair amount of money myself since I was accountable for every cent, it was a routine mission that I didn't particularly welcome since I was "short" with less than two weeks remaining on my tour. Let me know if you're interested. Fred Report this Post to the Staff

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 09/12/2006 11:19 pm Jim, your pics are not showing up. I think it's because you used brackets in the file names. It is best to only use hyphens. Even the underscore can screw it up. The forum software doesn't like characters besides letters and numbers in file names. Report this Post to the Staff
