Went over in May of 66, stayed till May of 68.
Kind of glad I was there early, it was a different
war then.
Tet68 USMC VMA-223 MAG 12 Chu Lai RVN.
Ooooorah!
Thank you for your service!
Another loon that extended?
I extended to escape finishing my enlistment dealing with stateside chicken-shiite, and a desire to get out into the war a bit.
I bet you had to deal with a lot of the same incredulous "why in hell would you want to stay here?"
I never regretted staying, those were the most memorable months of the time there.
