Hi Misty,
Sorry to say, except for passing each other on the road, it is doubtful we were anywhere near each ohter, Army and Air Force did not mix.
I had just turned 18 when I arrived in country, and did not drink (besides spending most of my tour on patrols).
If he got a signed photo of Ann Margaret, he got closer to the entertainers then I did. ;-)

Yes, he was 18 also. He enlisted at 17. He still has, of course, that picture of Ann Margret.

BTW, that attack on the base earned him his Commendation Medal because at the time his CO was unable to respond. All of 18 yrs old, it was my husband who organized and implimented a response. Other than newspaper articles and the paperwork which accompanied the medal, I know little about it. Its another one of those things that he never talks about. It's interesting that you were there at the same time.
