Tent

tent-jpeg

This is a picture of our tent that was nestled next to some bunkers at the ARVN camp near Loc Giang. It wasn’t much but at least it kept the rain off our heads. We did eventually find time to sandbag the perimeter of the tent and also build a small bunker against one side. That’s me coming out of the tent door. Top of the Mark, right? (Loc Giang, February, 1970)

C-123 Provider

c-123

This is the type aircraft that flew us out of the short airstrip at the Cu Chi base camp. The one I flew on, however, wasn’t as pretty. As we were boarding, I noticed quite a few patches in the aluminum skin, most sporting zinc chromate primer. Battle damage, I guess. One thing for sure: when the two Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engines were wound up and the two turbojet engines maxed out, that sucker really moved out smartly! (January,1969)

March 1968 to March 1969 I was in Bravo battery of 2/13
Arty. “THE RED DRAGON CLAN” (M102 105’s)… We were 23rd
Arty group but our whole battalion was assigned to the 25th
ID under 7/11 Arty control. We were in 25th ID’s rotation
for “Musical FSB’s”. Patton II, Bragg II, Buell III, lots I
don’t remember, plus some spots that never even got names.

Spent a few days with the 25th and with Tm96 in the Delta, I’ve discovered the reunions are great and it is through websites like yours that brings us together. We have our memories, when you exchange them with your others who served with you they become High Definition (HD) and more names and memories become more vivid and fullfiling for everyone. A nice start hope you keep it going and alive. Get enough of us together, virtually, you would have quite a story.

Dave, I’m Russ and was with the 725TH radar section at Cu Chi. I went Go Da Hau FSB many times from Mar 69-Feb70. I repaired the Q-4’s and the PPS-5’s and PPS-4’S. I helped call in artillery once when the mortar tracking Q-4 was waiting parts with the warrent officer for the set. Lots of fun that night on that wooden tower the Q-4 used. I didn’t fix any of the 25’s like you operated but Smitty did and I bet you met him. He was a tall slim boy from Oklahoma. He’s no longer slim but he visits me sometimes in Las Vegas which is my home. I have his e-mail address if you want it. I went to most of the Fire Support Bases and really enjoyed it, except for the part about being scared xxxxless all the time. Ha You guys did a great job and really helped the units over there at the time and if no one has ever said it. THANKS ALOT………..Russ

The funny story I remember is how I made us secure a perimeter (armed to the teeth) around the C- 130 when it landed at Bien Hoa. Then saw everybody laughing at us for even trying to do that. Shows how green I was. Anyway, good to reminisce on your site. Drop a line if you feel like it. Roland

and laid the wire for crook.was glad we weren’t therefor
the ground assault. l remember a dozer operator
requesting a couple troops to ride shotgun as a
came up out of the ground and ran across the blown up
bridge and disappeared.Was funny that the minute we
arrived in the choppers that whores and beer sellers
appeared on the scene.some secret fire base i think
it was laid out on the edge of bunker complex.

I was drafted Nov 1968 Basic at Ft Bliss, AIT Ft Benning and 4 weeks at Ft Sill and then on to Budingen Germany to serve with 3/12 Air Cav Budigen. I never went to Nam. But I am sure that we certainly crossed paths. Your Web Page is outstanding.

Nice site, comprehensive, another voice well spoken. The stereotypes of Nam vets was so horrendous — but not all the fault of the media. Some guys elected to be professional vets; worse, wannabes really clouded the issue. The most sound testimony to our making it back in The World are folks like you, uncompromising, understated. We all lead by our walk, not our talk. And please remember, some of us went into the media and brought much understanding and truth to the issue. Anyway, welcome home and celebrate life.
