When I was stationed in Danang [1967-68], the Stone Elephant was the O-Club and the White Elephant housed the NSA Danang Headquarters Compound. I worked about four months in the White Elephant compound.
Honestly, after 40 years I can’t remember if we frequented the Stone Elephant or the White Elephant...or both. I was acting CO of Security Company, Hq Bn., 1st Marine Division at the time (1969-70).
In 1970 the O Club at DaNang AB was known as the DOOM club and had the statue behind the bar that faced North when there was still aircrews up North and South when everybody was back was known as the DOOM Pussy...which as I recall a book was written about it. We didn’t go to the White Elephant much, usually reserving our antics to the DOOM club where it could be crazy....and I mean very crazy..... I doubt that the folks at the White Elephant would have put up with it...another favorite of ours was the China Beach club patio overlooking the beach.... Thanks for the memories...
