Hi my name is Randy Johnson, I would like to thank you for a very enjoyable website. My daughter and sat and looked at your great pictures and listened to your music it was great. The reason for me finding your site was I was looking at different tri-pacers and talking to people about the pluses and minuses of owning one. I seem to think I would prefer the clipper because of it having a stick instead of yokes could you take a minute and give me your opinion on the matter also what you think about a converted tri-pacer. Any comments would be greatly appreciated and again thanks for a great site Randy Johnson.

Super site!! I extended for my early out and wondered about whether I should. Actually, in Oct 70 they made a special 6 month drop for Christmas, only for guys who had already extended and I only had to spend ONE over in the Nam. WANTED: Audio tapes of radio traffic, fire missions, firefights, cockpit tapes, etc. Also videotapes. Have MUCH of same to trade. Thank you. (4th Inf Div 1969-70) Shot, out.

Hello, Your page brings back some memories. I was with the 3\4 Cav and spent several months at a firebase in Go do hau (sp?) during the rainy season in 69. It was about a mile on the Cu Chi side of Go do hau (gdh), and had a cemetery next to it. Don’t think it was the one you were at however, as there were no hooches. Sometimes there would be some artillery there–I recall some 155’s with “The Dodge Boys” painted on the barrel. Used to pull guard duty at the bridge in gdh and visit with some navy that stayed on some barges near the bridge. Also, if my recollection is correct, was at fsb Crook briefly on a couple of occasions. Didn’t find the weather there unusual, as I’m from southeast Texas. Enjoyed your site. dr

I’m 27, and can’t even begin to relate to everything you went through. I’ve never really seen war. I was born in 1971. No one in my family ever went to war – my father finished the AirForce just before Vietnam began. I just wanted you to know that even people my age appreciate everything that you did for our country, and that your efforts will never be forgotten.

I’m not quite sure how to put this, but I was (and continue to be) very moved by your description and story of Vietnam. I am a war historian (specifically a Vietnam war historian)and love to hear stories and see pictures from veterans who endured the nightmare of Vietnam. I am a 24 year-old graduate student at the University of Texas and I am currently working towards my Master’s in Public Administration. I have often wondered what I would have done if I had grown up during the Vietnam era. Part of me is so captivated by Vietnam and the whole experience that I say I would have volunteered. Other parts of me say that I would have been crazy to go and risk being killed. I have never quite understood my feelings towards ‘Nam, but continue to have the highest respect and regard for the brave veterans who fought in the conflict. For some strange reason, I greatly envy your experiences while in that crazy place and time. I wish you the best of luck in the future and once again thank you for sharing your story with me. Regards, Jess M. Calvert

I am interested in Vietnam. My father died over there October 15,1968. I was only 10 months at the time. He served in the Marines out of Camp Lajeune. I am not quite sure why he was there and didn’t pay much attention in school because it is a sensitive topic with me. I finally got to see his name on the wall 2 years ago. My step-father that raised me, he died on Father’s Day in 94, when lightening struck his boat in a lake in Payson, AZ. Kind of strange how things happen, and all I can seem to do is ask WHY?? One funny thing about our gov’t. I got VA benefits, they overpaid me $247.00 in May of 1986 when I was in school. Last year they took it out of my taxes. Pretty petty of them I feel considering what I had to give up for them and their Police Action

Dave, I was in Nam in 71-72 down in Long Binh. Your stories about basic, AIT and Nam bring back a few sad and a few happy memories. I took basic and AIT at Ft Polk (Puke) Louisiana in the summer. But when we set down in Saigon,I still was not prepared for that hot muggy blast of Vietnam air. I can relate to the “frog” story, being so bored that anything could amuse! I did see Bob Hope on Christmas day in 1971 at Long Binh. Now that was a great memory. For me, it has been 26 years and more than 26 pounds later but hey, life has been better since 28 jun 72!

I was on Nui Ba Den for 2 1/2 years with the 5th special forces. I also went to Cu chi on occassion. The ‘Black Virgin’ Mountain [Nui Ba Den] as we called her definitely had communications set-up for many field units. I believe the Big Red1 as well as the 25th Inf were up there for most of the time. The unit was designated as Nui Ba Den Provisional Co. and was resupplied out of Tay Ninh base camp. Do you know if anyone is interested in making a return trip to RVN? I am looking to retire in early 2000 and plan on going to the Olympics in Australia and might try to get to Vietnam if possible. Your home page brought back memories, some funny and others not so funny.

I too was in Cu Chi, got there in Feb 1968 just in time for TET. I thought the whole damn war was stupid and a lot of people got killed for no good reason. Even though I was young (20), it caused me to forever suspect the government no matter what it says. I am not bitter, just cautious. I saw the Bob Hope show in 1968 and was very disappointed in the obvious ‘ego’ trip it was for him (Ann-Margaret looked really nice tho). By the time his crew had set up the Kleig lights with all the scaffolds, it blocked the view of about 500 guys… I guess I might have been luckier than you in that we rarely left base camp. I was in Fire and Direction Control and was able to volunteer to drive convoys going to Bien Hoa (thus allowing us to stay in Saigon, which I fell in love with). I too was in Ft. Sill, and really enjoyed the stay there (if you had to be in the Army, it was not that bad). Took my wife there several years ago and did you know that all the gates that had guards are now gone? You can just drive right on in now (and all the bars in Lawton have been closed and replaced with regular type businesses. Enjoyed reading about your experiences Don.

This is obviously not my true name. Am still goosey about Nam and other HUMINT. Real good job. I was also with 25th DIVARTY, Tet I, one medevac, and years of medical treatment. Accurate facts. The press and Clinton are doing the same as in the 60s, but not on as great a scale. It is more sneaky and perhaps more dangerous to the country.

I really enjoyed the read. Brought back a lot of memories of my time at Udorn Thailand. We only had very sporadic enemy activity though. I spend my time in a radar van also. A monopulse autotracking unit directing arclight and tac (skyspot) missions in Laos and North Vietnam. I hated going up on that tower at night to change a magnetron. Sure felt like a big old bullseye! Ate C rations while on night duty because we were out on the wire by the tower. Crazy shchedule too. 2 nights, four days, 2 days off, four nights, 2 days, four days off. I finally got used to occassionally waking up with lizards (gekos) on my face. Could have been worse. Back to your page. Your writing is excellent. The work you put in on the text really shows. Ex technical writer, marketing material and proposal writer.

I served as a platoon leader with A Troop 3/4 Cav at Cu Chi from March to July, 1967. I still get letters occasionally from our Forward Observer that was attached to our Troop. I was transferred to D Troop, 199th Infantry. Brigade in July. Your comments about the Vietnam War are right on point. Sounds like you made a great transition to the civilian world.
