My guess is I was still seventeen after AIT.


Same here, only on my 18th birthday I got orders to Viet Nam and less than a month later I was out on patrol....that was 52 years ago.

Were did the years go?

I enlisted a few days after my birthday so I guess MY timing was good to get me orders before 18.

Whatever ... welcome home brother

Salutes to all my fellow Vietnam vets. I remember many vivid scenes from my 413 missions flying A-4s in 68-69 as if they were yesterday. Indeed, where did that half-century go?
Semipermanent Fi.
