This is another one of my stories - if you read my stuff before, your're the one to blame for encouraging me!

Very interesting story thanks for sharing.

It’s interesting to get a behind-the-scenes look , such as this one, as to what can happen on a training mission.

My Terry and the Pirates saga occurred on a barrier island off the coast of Quang Tin, then in I Corps, Viet Nam. Ferried to the island by two of the meanest looking Nungs, we tried to determine if the contingent of strange ethnicities needed medical supplies. We were unable to meet with their commander, reportedly a handsome older woman and known in the capital, Tam Ky, as the Dragon Lady. Her cohort had held the barrier island for years. After a pow-wow we were escorted back of the island to the mainland by four unblinking Asians. The unit was being paid by the CIA, and I have wondered whatever happened to them when I Corps fell to the Communists. If arrangements were not made for their exfiltration I feel sure they were slaughtered up to the Dragon Lady herself.

Nice read. Well done.

... I have wondered whatever happened to them when I Corps fell to the Communists.
They were forced into the re-education gulags and eventually disappeared.
Exactly what the Democrats said wouldn't happen.

Thanks for writing this and posting it — great stories. My nephew served five years in the Marines and did deployments to the Philippines from Okinawa. It sounds like his assignment was very much like yours. He’s been unable to tell us about anything he did there.

[TADSLOS]

I always enjoy your stories. Great stuff.

[Chainmail]

Another one of the stories I written up for my kids - enjoy!

I call BS Chainmail. Nobody in their right mind wants a 77 set lol.

[Chainmail]

I suspect that the KY-38 was the main reason they wanted it..

[TADSLOS]

LMAO.

Still state of the art in ‘77. Especially for a Filipino ‘warlord’.

[richardtavor]

I thought you would say that they became Democrats..wouldn’t be that big of stretch...

[Bulwyf]

I’ve always found that even if you do say something, most people wouldn’t believe it. They can’t fathom the retarded things we did haha.

“He’s been unable to tell us about anything he did there.”

Probably because it’s still classified.

Chainmail,

Thank you for sharing your sea story. I think my Army ping list folks will like it.
