Here's the story about Odnac as I was told in 1965.
We had a commanding officer by the name of Col. Frank Miller and one
morning he called everyone together for a "pep" talk. It may have
been a monthly function, but I do not remember.
Anyway he went on
and on about these ants he had seen crawling up a post and carrying
things on their backs that were heavier than what they weighed.
He
said that was a "can do " attitude and he wanted to see it in his
men also.
So someone (?) turned can do around and got odnac.
This
all happened before I got to Thailand so it is second hand info.
Anyway, they had kites and other things with Odnac on it and it
drove the security (G2) guys crazy wondering what it meant and if it
was a subversive code name for something.
And that's the story as I was related to me.
