Sounds like the welcome committee, provided by
our overseas allies (not!).



They were the reason the military showed all those damned VD films.
'Camp Followers' have been around, since the first armies existed.

Hi, Mike
Were you in 'Nam during that time? Telling things from word of mouth or
from real real life experience?

You aired up the tires on the choppers? ^_^


No, I maintained the WeatherVision system that provided weather
data to the pilot ready rooms, and delivered the base ETV
programs to their classrooms. We were only allowed 15 minutes
downtime before they shut down the airfields. Up to 17 of them.
I also repaired a couple RADAR systems when they were short on
techs.

The only thing that was inflated on a chopper were the pilots.
;-)


Were there girl pilots flying choppers when you were there? You
don't want to dis your girlfriend if she pilots an Apache. ^_^

Funny how the sex scam never changes. There's been a story about a
football player who was accused of rape a year after it allegedly
occurred only after his accuser found out he may wind up making lots of
money playing professional ball. No, I'm not a football fan. ^_^

My orders to Vietnam were changed to Alaska at the last minute. The
TV station I was to work at was over run about two weeks after I would
have arrived, and it's very likely I wouldn't be here since most of the
staff was killed. I got what was left of a 5 KW Gates VHF TV transmitter
for parts at the station in Alaska.

I had several underage girls try to trick me into bed while stationed
at Ft. Rucker. They used a lot of makeup, and some guys fell for it.
The worst part was that their families were making them prostitute
themselves because the parent or parents were too lazy to work. Some of
the girls were just 13. A couple of the other soldiers kept track of
who they were, and warned you they were minors. Still, a lot of guys
were screwed out of half of their pay, until they retired or didn't
re-enlist.

Footballs make terrible fans. Not enough surface area, and quite
unstable at high speeds. ;-)

Hi,
I see. I roamed there as GS-12~13 military civie doing C&I and later M&O
work for VHF, UHF, Troposcatter radio comm network, Copper lines were
only used within the perimeter of bases. Every thing else
was tactical/strategical radio. One extra thing I did was looking after
VOA relay station in PHu Bai, South of Hue. The station was built on a
tiny island in the middle of man made lake accessed only by heavily
gated causeway. Nearby also 8th RRFS was station. All under ground
except huge antenna farm covering stretch of field. I moved up/down the
country frequently from Con Son Island upto DMZ(I was at Dong Ha, Khe
san just before USMC was under heavy siege by 'Cong/NVA. After 3
years, I took a R&R, then ordered to show up at Iran or Libya. But I
heard those places were worse than 'Nam, so I quit and got married. Wife
had a job lined up at Pueblo, CO, my job was at Vancouver, BC(with ITT)
When we decided on Canada, I started with Honeywell on computer
side(data comm)I was hired by 304th LL Bn under 8th Army in Korea as
GS-9. That was half a century ago. Time really flies. Now empty nester.
Two kids, one is MD, one is PE, one grand son, 3 yrs old in Victoria,
BC. We are in Calgary which is getting too big too fast due to good
economic conditions. Between '12-'13 we gained 60,000 in population.

I think it's a real shame, that we lose so many
good people in that war. Glad that the spread
of communism was slowed, for a while.

A wise writer once wrote "thou shalt not commit
adultery". If people would live that commandment,
they would have better lives in so many ways.
