I was with the 5th Comm. Bn in 1967. My MOS was mechanic in the motor pool and together with a great team, we kept the radio trucks in operation and off the "Dead Line". <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> I went through Motor Transport training at Camp LeJune, then Infantry training at Pendelton, then to Vietnam.<o:p></o:p> While in country, I served for six months at 5th Comm. then later at FLC (Force Logistics Command) on the other side of DaNang.<o:p></o:p> After Nam, I served at the Marine Corp Air Station in Santa Ana, California.<o:p></o:p> Three short years in the Corp., but a whole lot of memories. Here are a few of my photos of 5th Comm.

Arrived "in country" 9/66, departed 6/67 for RelAcDu. No opening @ IIIMAF CommCen when arrived., spent 2 wks as "Bunker NCO" in NW corner @ "How Long". Took job in S-3 when somebody rotated and I'd have taken anything (including NCOIC of burning out the head) to get out of that damned bunker. Remember fondly my tour, the guys and the times. Got appointed to escort Henry Fonda (the better part of him must've dripped down his leg when Jane was conceived ) when he visited 5th Comm and got our picture in "Stars and Stripes". | |

In Country Nov 65. Bunked in the old compound with the pyramid tents.Walked along the creek to the mess hall to eat the "RED DEATH". In Jan 66 Iflew to Subic Bay boarded ship and sailed back to Viet Nam to partiscipate in a landing. In April 66 I moved to Monkey Mountain and stayed until Jan 67. I moved to the main base in Da Nang and made courier runs until March 67. I am looling for information on David Grubic. His name appears on the MAA list along with others that I knew. Stoney Broadstreet, Johnny Earl Mack, Ollie Oliveras, Prince Murray and Shimmerhorn. May GOD continue to keep and bless each of vou.

5th Comm - 21 Dec 66 to 4 Apr 68 Arrived a 6 months cherry-san and left a casualty at the end of Tet '68. Geat mix of old salts and new guys. I had a lot of great driving runs with the Bn and the best were the convoys up north for FLC. Of the Motor T bunch I remember Monzie, Ballard, Carter, Harris, Reno, Yslava, Meracle, Schlosser and Gunny Garrett. I am still looking for that hi-compression grease and sky hook. My last three years of a 2nd enlistment was as an Marine Security Guard with the USNATO/Embassy Detachment, Brussels, Belgium. Now it has come full circle, we have a Corpsman-son with 1/7 in Iraq. Semper Fi.
