| 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". | | |

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 5th Comm Aug 68 and worked in the comm co area and was on the react platoon at night for a while ,also stood radio watch in the cp bunker. Lots of folks came and went and I finally went to 1st MAW Comm Ctr in Jan of 69. Had just about every job in the place by the time I left in Aug. Really liked my job as duty driver, I drove all over the DaNang area. Stood one month on guard duty and went on patrols with the 1MP Bn and lucky me I got to hump the prc 25, lots of bad memories from that year, some good ones too. (PTSD and agent orange are very real and nobody came home without both).

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.
