[CIB-173RDABN]

I was in a repo depo on November 8th waiting for transportation to the 173rd.

At the time I was unaware of the battle, but a day or so later I discovered my MOS had changed from Recon Scout to Infantry when I was dropped off in front of a tent for the 503rd Infantry.

I entered the tent and there were only about four other in it. When I asked what cot would be mine I was told to pick any empty one as their previous owners would not be returning.

And thus began my year in Viet Nam
