For those that do get R&R, I say they deserve some enjoyment.

In my own case, I waited 11 months in Viet Nam to visit Sydney, Australia instead of one of the other R&R sights.

That was one of the very best weeks I ever spent in my entire 58 years. Hated to return to Nam.

100% agreement!

Why did you have to return to VN -- were you USMC, with a 13-month tour?

Just missed VN -- graduated HS in 1973, draft was essentially over.
