If you were alive then the loud sound you herd was our plan lifting off at Cam Ron Bay.

Congratulations, that was a good feeling, wasn't it?
Not so much, after arrival, running the gauntlet of hysterical hippies screaming hate as you left the gate at Travis AFB though.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Funny, 30+ years ago I worked for NCOs that had spent time there who were nearing the end of their careers.

Cam Ranh was one of the more benevolent places to loiter over that way. Still, the difference was splitting hairs. Welcome home!

I was in basic training in 1981 and mist of my drill instructors were Vietnam Nam solders.
Some had horrific battles they had survived and some with terrible wounds they received.
One wss at hamburger hill and related about the back and forth battle. Hit with grenade shrapnel twice and 3 bullet sounds and finally bayoneted by the enemy. Barely survived. He was tough as John Wayne toilet paper.

I left from Cam Rahn in June of '69.

A happy time for a few hours until arriving back in the US, hippy college pukes in SF airport running around spitting on us, screaming "baby killers", etc.

I was there all of '71. Arrived at Cam Rahn, but left from Saigon because Cam Rahn was being shut down by then. The flight in was dead silent all the way - half from apprehension and half from the agony of 16 hours in an overstuffed cabin and tiny seats. The ride out was silent - until gear up, and then the cheers erupted. The cabin crew said it happened that way EVERY time. Funny, the seats were not so bad this direction. I am not the least bit surprised.

Ditto to the lice-ridden, stinking hippie reception. One little [bleep] threw what smelled like a turd at me. I told him that I had just spent a year killing little [bleep] - and one more wouldn't bother me at all.
