Master Sergeant Hosking's Nickname

[edit]

Would like to include his nickname in his biography but I am unsure as to how that would be recieved. As a young soldier I operated temporarily out of Camp Hosking, a Special Forces camp in Vietnam, in late 1968. It's name as I recall was Camp Charles E. "Snake" Hosking. I'm sure there is an interesting story behind the nickname, but the important point is that his fellow Green Berets thought it fitting to include the nickname in the naming of the camp in his honor. I believe that it would also be fitting in that same spirit to include his nickname in the bio. Cuprum17 (talk) 18:15, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
