I spent most of my time on TRC-97s.  I was also out on several 1st Div 97 shots but don't recall the locations.

I was lucky enough to get out on mail runs and the like to Cua Viet, Phu Bai, Quang Tri, Con Thien, Camp Carroll.

I was in country from Dec. 68 to Dec 69 . Don't remember too many names these days but my Sgt. in the motor pool was" Horney" Sgt. Hornbuckle I remember guard duty on the orphanage roof and mag 16 getting rocketed.  Oh and the stinging  jelly fish in the ocean. and that first "smell" as you stepped off the plane at DaNang .  God...  a different world, a different time, a million years ago ...yesterday

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.

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.               

Arrived in country Sept 1967....left Oct 1968.  Remember some of the things that we missed....throwing beer cans at the out door movie screen (4x8 sheets of plywood painted white)...walking guard....patrols....and the great food at the mess hall....I stuck to pound cake and peaches.....And the missions that the Top sent me on........

hello to all of you guys and welcome back to the WORLD......SEMPER FI
