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.

Back in the world of all night generators that dont keep you up except in yournightmares. Well there seem to be some real nightmares going down right in front of us , jobs going overseas, an economy based on the vulnerable and easilly changed oil prices, energy dependance, war in Irag, Very much like where we were in 65-70. The honor of the warrior continues to degenerate in the hands of these coorporate rats. Semper Fi
Don't get fooled again.

Semper Fi Brothers. Wow, it's great to find a 5th Comm web site. My mos was 2831, radio relay repairman. Was in RVN with 5th Comm, from May '70 to Oct '70. I finished out my westpac tour with 7th Comm, on Okinawa. 5th Comm was actually decommisioned in Oct of '70 (don't know exact day), and hasn't been recommisioned. I was one of the last Marines at Camp Hoa Long. An Army Engineer unit moved in after us. Also spent time on 244, Monkey Mountain, and 950. Welcome Home to each and every one of you! I'll be in D.C. for Vets Day, and the M.C. B'Day. Hope to run into some of you there.
