I was going to say 90%, but except for Cam Rahn Bay, where I was, there was no fully safe place, although Saigon was probably safer than Central Park at night. To the best of my knowledge there were three deaths at the Bay during 1968 -- two in a traffic accident, and one stabbed to death while on guard duty. Probably a doper.

I would rather be in the bush every day that have to have served at Cam Rahn Bay. That had to have been the longest,most boring,AND hottest year of your life.

Most big VN cities were probably a lot safer than Fayetteville on a Saturday night back in the 60's. There were people who spent 5-6 years in VN,and never once heard a shot fired.
