Military Experiences

Sep 1967 - Sep 1968
Spec 4
I served a one year tour of duty in Co C 15th TC Battalion of the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) in the Republic of Vietnam. I was stationed at such places as An Khe, Chu Lai and Hue-Phu Bai. I spent about half my tour on Greenline duty with a machine gun. The Greenline was the perimeter of a military camp that had sand bagged, wooden bunkers spaced about one and two hundred yards apart. The bunkers were manned from dusk to dawn. Each bunker had two soldiers in it with a light machine gun and other weapons. The area my camp was in Hue/Phu Bai and was heavily contaminated with Agent Orange. The contamination is obvious. Not one single green plant ever grew in the area, even during the rainy season.
