Feb 17, 1968..I turned 18. Had a cousin in Nam, at that time (USMC), he was wounded and came home. His twin brothers and I went to enlist in the Marines. They took Wayne, Gary failed because of his eyesignt(real bad eyes) and I failed because of high blood pressure and weight. I went to the Air Force...their Dr put me in a dark room and I laid for about 2 hours. He came in and took my BP...It was fine.

Wow - it really has been 40 years since I was in Saigon during Tet 68.
Never thought I'd live this long. These pesky armadillos in Florida
are worse than the VC - digging holes all over my lawn. Any ideas on the best way to blow them away?

Ironrifle

Your late! It`s been 41 years.. What unit were you with?

mchs55

Was in Hq 7th Air Force at Tan Son Nhut AB, Saigon. Couldn't wait to get back and drink REAL milk.

I was there with a 105 battery! We were hit with rocket fire every night we were there! Mess tent took a direct hit and the AF brought us a brand new mobile kitchen the next day! Thanks!!
