Arion was a good 50 mjles away Year's Eve. In terms of American geography, it W ITH was almost the same as if an army, facing an enemy force along the New York-Connecticut border, suddenly beard that a second enemy force from Western Massachusetts and Vermont was pouring through Albany toward the middle or New York State. And then turned away from its Connecticut front, picked up most of its men, eqnipment, and supplies, and hit the road for the north to smash the second enemy force on ils southern flank. The Third Army did this on a few hours' notice, despite the tremendous complications and work involved in moving each of its divisions, reached its new assembly areas less than 24 hours later and went into action ,against the surprised Germans within the next two days. The most spectacular role in the move was that played by the Fourth Armored Division which dashed to the aid of the beseiged 101st Airborne Division at Bastogne. The story of what happened during the same lime to tile 26th Division, -which moved up on the Fourth Armored's right flank and tackled the tough job of crossing the Sure River to the east of Bastogne without getting much of a play in the newspapers, is less dramatic but more typical. It �T /Sgt. Melvin Foster of Gloucester, Va., hid in a farmhouse for 30 hours with his platoon. gives you some idea of what it was like for the average-infantry outfit that was in on this deal during the joyous ·Christmas season of 1944. Nobody in the 26tl}. Division can get over the way their part of the Third Army made its move north from Metz. Probably no military movement of such a large scale was ever ·carried out with more speed and less red tape. The book was thrown out · of the window and all the OCS rules about road discipline were forgotten. Each outfit simply tried to get its vehicles on the road as soon as possible and, after they were on the road, to keep moving. "And them roads was jammed,". one of the truck drivers said. "Us and the Fourth Armored and God only knows how many other divisions. We were bumper to bumper all the way. Good thing it was a cloudy day. If the Germans ever had air out, they would have slaughtered us." Nothing was left behind. An outfit even took a truckload of its German prisoners along with it -because it didn't have time to dispose of them through channels before· taking off. One GI couldn't believe bis eyes when he saw them rolling along in the column behind an ammunition trailer and in front ·or a battery of Long Toms. · , «what are we doing?" he said. "Bringing up replacements for the Jerries, too?" The MPs were on the roads that day for only one reason-to keep the v,ehicles from slowing down. There was 110 stopping for anything. The troops ate K-rations while they moved. · There were no urine calls. A rifleman in the 328th Infantry Regiment with the Gls had to sit ' on the strap across the back of his two and a half-ton truck and let go at 35 miles an hour. The speed paid off. Despite the apparent confusion, the move was completed in remarkable time. Later in the evening of the 19th, after the chief of staff had received that first warning phone call from corps, the division learned that it was headed for the town of Eischen, to the east of Arion, about 56 miles away. The recon unit started out shortly after midnight. The infantry regiments-the 101st, the 104th, and the 328th-were all packed and ready to -go at 0830 the next morning. There were some delays due to the congestion of the roads. For instance, all the units in the city of Metz and to the south of it had to cross the Moselle River in single file over only one bridge; all the others had been destroyed. There was a shell crater on the main highway beyond the bridge which made another bottleneck, One of the division 's infantry columns was held up there for two hours and did not finally get away from the Metz area until 1030. It was late in t-he afternoon before the last units-ordnance, quartermaster and the headquarters section of the signal companyleft the city. But the whole division and all its equipment was in Eischen and the surrounding countryside by 2300 that night. "Everything c nsidered. it was on,e o f the smoothest moves we ever m:ade," says Lt. Col. Walter H. Lippincott of Philadelphia, Pa., the division G-4. "And it should have been one of the toughest. The men were settled and relaxed in buildings. It is always harder and slower to move from a city like that than it is from a CP in the field. We were eating B-rations which had to be changed to combat rations before we could start. And we had no information about supply dumps ahead-we had to assume they had been over-run by the enemy and take everything with us. And after we left Metz, we had to give the Fourth Armored priority on the main highway and take the secondary .roads which were longer and narrower. A lot of the trucks that were assigned to move us didn't arrive un til 0300 and 0400 in the morning. And, of course, we didn't know how, when or where we were moving until about 10 hours before the starting time." Naturally the townspeople and the few U.S. troops they found in the north were jittery about the German counterattack and glad to see the -division come. Lt. Col. John Cotter of Lynn, Mass., arriving in Arion with the advance party, found the city in the hands of a small, nervous engineer out.fit whose CO assured him . that everything was well protected. "How about the bridges?" Lt. Col. Cotter asked. "Don't worry about the bridges," the engineer said. "They're well co,rered. We've got two men on -each bridge." Nobody knew how far a,~ay the Germans were and ther,e were all kinds of rumors and reports. The reconnaissance troops, supported by TDs, went probing ahead to find out som thing definite. The infantry dug into foxhol in the freezing cold forests and wait,ed for them to bring back the bad news. t I • . I bridges with TNT and to put more explosives in the sides of trees which could be blown down to block the roads in ca,<;,e of a retreat. Maj. Gen. Paul called the division signal officer. "If we don't get communication on this meeting engagement," the general said, "I'll grind you into the ground." The infantrymen walked mor,e than 16 miles that day before they met the Germans. Their move up from Metz had evidently caught the enemy a.hnost flat-footed. Three German divisions in that sector had been moving westward across Luxembourg toward the region south of Bastogne. The three American divisions of the Third Army driving up to their southern flank, the Fourth Armored, the 26th and the 80th, smashed into them before they had a chance to make a complete left face and meet their new opposition head-on. They were still wheeling around to the south on Dec. 22 when the First Battalion of the 328th Infantry went into them and took the town of Hostert Jes Folschette and the 104th Infantry advanced through stubborn resistance to the high ground south of Grosbous. The Second and Third Battalions of the 328th followed the First Battalion on the north toward Wahl and Grevels Bresil and then the regiment ran into real trouble. "There we were on the road in column of battalions, " says Maj. Albert Friedman of Bangor, Maine, who had charge of the Second Battalion. "I went up ahead and found the First Battalion with its hands full of Jerries. Then I came back and somehow managed to get our battalion to make an about face and start back down the road to Hostert. How the hell we turned around those kids who had .been walking since God knows when and all the vehicles and got them going -back to Hostert without a mix-up, I don·t know. If the Germans had ever broken through on us while we were turning around, there would have been a panic." Hostert, the battalion set up a perimeter A defense and received word that it was to become a part of a task force, to be called Task T Force Hamilton, under Lt. Col. Paul Hamilton of San Antonio, Tex., with attached ack-ack, engineer and TD units, and tanks from a tank battalion. The Third Battalion was to go up with the First Battalion straight north. Task Force Hamilton was to tackle the dirtiest job of all on the morning of Dec. 23. It was assigned the mission of taking the town of Eschdorf, which was loaded with German arm·o r, and pushing on to cross the Sure River and establish a bridgehead for the rest of the division to go on toward Wiltz, "The boys hadn't had much rest or hot food since WP. left Metz and they had walked about 20 miles," .Maj. Friedman said, "so I wanted them to ride as long as they could. We sent them out that morning riding on the tanks and TDs." Easy Company under Capt. Vaughn Swift o.f Manzanola, Colo., went out in front north of Grosbous and ran into strong German opposition on the high ground in front of Hierheck, a cluster of houses at a crossroads before Eschdorf. They were pinned down there for the rest of the day. That night Capt. Swift sent a squad over to the road at the left which the Germans were using as a supply route. The squad laid a hasty mine field and as soon as they had finished a party of Germans came down the road in a U.S. jeep and were blown to pieces. "Just goes to show that mines ought to be issued regularly to the infantry," Maj. Friedman says. "But obody ever gets them except the engin 't ask me why." T F Company, commanded f Bt-rwick, Pa., replaced ' igh ground. When F troops met a large e reverse side of the slope, yards away. The Germans, aged in the snow with white capes, opened a murderous rifle and automatic weapon fire. Capt. Seely went back and _call~d for a tank. He led it up the slope, walkmg m front of it to guide it. The tank was demolished by an 88 flrint from a farmhouse at the bottom of the' hill. "The concussion," said Capt. Seely, "knocked me on my can." He went back again and this time selected a bazooka man, Pfc. Dominic Giovanazzo of Ravenna, Ohio. Giovanazzo crawled up tl_le slope, aimed at the ~8 in the house below m �AMERICAN RED CROSS MAP OF PARIS ius 0 D ey hl e H otel· und Bader-Rcklam e, S tutlgart �MONTHLY PAY IN THE ARMED FORCES ARMY AND MARINE CORPS NAVY AND COAST GUARD MONTHLY BASE PAY MONTHLY ALLOWANCES (Rental and Subsistence) No Dependents General., , . . .... ,. $666.67 (a) $126.00 $162.00 lieutenant General (b) Vice Admiral (c) • . .. . 666.67 (d) 126.00 162.00 Major General .. , •..

he had an older brother and sister and a younger brother and sister (00:01:10:00)  When he enlisted, Wykstra knew the Vietnam War was going on and figured that he had a duty to enlist and serve in the military (00:01:42:00)  Wykstra finally enlisted in August 1966 (00:01:52:00) o He selected the Navy because he did not want to crawl around in the mud and he wanted nice meals and a good bed to sleep in (00:02:01:00)  While growing up, a friend of Wykstra had a speed boat and Wykstra had a hydroplane, so he had some experience on the water before he joined the Navy (00:02:20:00)  Basic training was two weeks at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center in Chicago and then two weeks aboard a ship in Chicago (00:02:52:00)  Before he left for basic training, Wykstra wanted no one in his family to know that he was leaving (00:03:11:00) o Wykstra had a little party the night before he left and the next morning, he accidentally slept through his alarm, consequently, missing his bus to Chicago, and woke up when his mother called him to go to church (00:03:16:00) o Wykstra’s brother had just bought a new Mustang and he drove Wykstra to Holland, Michigan, where Wykstra was able to catch the bus (00:03:45:00) o Wykstra finally told his family he was joining the Navy that morning and naturally, they were a little upset that Wykstra had not tell them earlier (00:04:04:00) o He chose not to tell his family because he viewed it that they did not need to know and because he was only going be gone for a month, it was not a very big deal (00:04:24:00)  The training at Great Lakes for Wykstra was strictly for the Navy Reserves (00:04:35:00) o The basic training went well and when Wykstra boarded the ship, he had to get tours of it to orient himself aboard it (00:04:40:00) � o Some of the other men who came aboard the ship with Wykstra had already been in the Navy and they explained different things to him and helped ease the process for him (00:05:04:00) o The ship was a smaller one and the men were supposed to sail it to near Muskegon, Michigan to fire its guns; however, when the ship left port in Chicago and made it past the barriers, it had to turn around because Lake Michigan was too rough (00:05:21:00) o During the training, Wykstra does not recall how much emphasis they placed on discipline, although it was something that he always had trouble with (00:06:01:00) After completing the four weeks of training, Wykstra went back home and continued going to the Reserve meetings (00:06:27:00) o Eventually, he asked if he could go into active duty early or would he have to complete the year of Navy Reserve first (00:06:37:00) o They said Wykstra could get in early and he told them that the end of May, beginning of June would work for him; however, when the middle of June came, Wykstra still had not been called (00:06:46:00)  The Navy eventually wanted to know if Wykstra had gotten some girl pregnant and that was why he wanted to leave early but he explained that he just wanted to get the year done and over with (00:07:04:00) o When the Navy told him they would get him on active duty right away, Wykstra asked for a couple of weeks off from his work before he left, so at the end of June, he basically quit work (00:07:16:00)  He was kicked out of the apartment he living in, so Wykstra took the next month’s rent, bought a tent and lived on the beach (00:07:41:00) o However, after about three weeks, Wykstra still was not in the Navy, so he went back to his old job and asked to come back to work at a print shop (00:07:53:00) o Wykstra only went back to work for a couple of weeks before the Navy placed him on active duty (00:08:08:00) Deployment (00:08:23:00)  Once Wykstra was on active duty, the Navy sent him to San Francisco (00:08:23:00) o While Wykstra was in transit waiting to be assigned in late August, someone woke him at four in the morning, said his father had died and Wykstra was going home on emergency leave (00:08:31:00)  When Wykstra went down to get his orders allowing him to go home, the man said he thought Wykstra was lying, which caused Wykstra to jump across the desk and started beating the man (00:08:57:00)  Wykstra had to go talk with the commanding officer but he did his orders and flew back to Grand Rapids for fifteen days (00:09:23:00) o After the fifteen days, Wykstra flew back to San Francisco and stayed there for another week or two before the Navy flew him to the Philippines (00:09:45:00)  While waiting for his ship, the U.S.S. Davidson, in the Philippines, Wykstra went into a nearby town to drink (00:10:10:00) �      o One time when he went into the town, a dog bit Wykstra in the back of his calf and Wykstra asked the owners to tie to dog up for ten days to make sure it did not have rabies (00:10:32:00) o In those ten days, the Davidson had unfortunately already come in and left but after the ten days, Wykstra checked and the dog did not have rabies (00:11:10:00) The Navy eventually flew Wykstra to Japan to board the Davidson (00:11:46:00) o When he got to Japan, Wykstra checked in on the base and was given bedding and told where to go spend the night; however, as he left, they called his name for him to come back and when he did so, they told him the Davidson was pulling out in two hours and he needed to get aboard (00:11:51:00) The Davidson was a destroyer escort, meaning it was a small ship, only about a football field in length (00:12:35:00) o The ship was armed with depth charges, missiles, two 5 inch guns and torpedo tubes (00:12:41:00) o Different departments on the ship had different sleeping areas (00:13:09:00) o The ship had just been commissioned in 1965, which meant it had air conditioning and other modern amenities (00:13:17:00) Wykstra was put with the deck crew when he first got onboard, which consisted of: painting, sweeping, cleaning and washing walls (00:13:49:00) At one point, a weapons yeoman was leaving the ship and Wykstra and another man applied for the job (00:14:19:00) o While he was home on his emergency leave, Wykstra met a girl who happened to be from the hometown of the weapons yeoman who was leaving, they knew each other, and the yeoman allowed Wykstra to take the typing test three or four times (00:14:44:00)  On the typing test, Wykstra had to type thirty-five words a minute and every mistake was a deduction of ten words (00:15:01:00) o Wykstra took the test three times before he finally passed it and he does not know how the other man faired but he ended up getting the job (00:15:09:00) As a weapons yeoman, Wykstra would type up the orders of the day, what duties the men were supposed to do that day, and any weapon reports, which were logs of how many shells had been fired, etc. (00:15:30:00) o Once he had typed up the weapon reports, a lieutenant would read it, make some slight changes, have Wykstra retype it and then would give it to his superior, who would make other changes (00:16:04:00) o There were no computers and would end up having the type the same report or document around eight times at least because everyone in the chain of command would make changes to a report (00:16:18:00) o When they pulled into ports, Wykstra missed liberty time finishing the reports (00:16:47:00) o There was always something for Wykstra to type (00:17:08:00) When he first got aboard the ship, Wykstra was told who he would report to and who would be giving him orders (00:17:38:00) o There was not much of an introduction or orientation (00:17:43:00) �     o One time, while on the deck crew, one man was painting a yardarm and asked Wykstra if he saw any holidays; not knowing what that meant, Wykstra told him that he did not see any (00:17:49:00)  When the man came down, he yelled at Wykstra for telling him there were no holidays, spots where he had missed, when there were (00:18:14:00) There were a few men on the deck crew that Wykstra fell in with and got along well with (00:18:42:00) o After he became yeoman, Wykstra had his own little office on the ship and in Japan, he bought turntables, speakers, and recording equipment so that when they were at sea, they could listen to music, mainly rock and roll records (00:18:48:00) o When they pulled into port at Formosa, the records were a dime an album and the men came to Wykstra to play them (00:19:33:00) Wykstra got onto the Davidson in October 1967 (00:20:13:00) The Davidson’s home port was in Hawaii, so after Wykstra boarded in Japan, they sailed back to Hawaii (00:20:24:00) Wykstra did not have any major problems adjusting to life at sea even though when the Davidson left Japan, the seas were quite rough (00:20:52:00) o Wykstra only got seasick twice: when the Davidson first left Japan for Hawaii and another time in rough seas, also near Japan (00:21:02:00)  The second time he got seasick, Wykstra was at the helm of the ship when a man on the lean helm said he needed a bucket; a messenger got a bucket and the man threw up in the bucket (00:21:21:00)  The messenger emptied the bucket and when he brought it back, the man working the status board asked for the bucket and ended throwing up in it (00:21:59:00)  The pilothouse was beginning to smell like vomit and the lieutenant in charge of the pilothouse asked Wykstra if any of that bothered him and Wykstra said “not yet sir” (00:22:11:00)  The lieutenant then lit a cigar and blew it in Wykstra’s face, causing him to vomit (00:22:28:00) o When the ship was in rough seas, Wykstra did not worry about it capsizing (00:23:01:00)  One time, a cook had just made fresh donuts when the seas were rough and he came up to the pilothouse to see if he could bring up some of the crew (00:23:06:00)  The men held onto ropes during rough seas and the cook accidentally let go of the rope and slid, head first, into a steel footrest and split his head open (00:23:28:00) When the Davidson arrived in Hawaii, Wykstra was able to go ashore (00:24:03:00) o Although the ship was only a couple of years old, it had to go into dry-dock because one of the boilers was not working properly (00:24:17:00)  They ended up cutting a hole in the side of the ship so they could put in a new boiler (00:24:27:00) o Because of the sheer size of the repair, the men were in Hawaii for quite a long time, all the way until August (00:24:35:00) �    However, even while the ship was in dry-dock, the men stayed aboard it, instead of in barracks on land (00:24:51:00) o A friend of Wykstra from high school was in Hawaii at the same time, so the two met up and went out to drink several times (00:24:56:00)  One time, one of the men went ashore, got extremely drunk, and when he returned to the ship, got the keys for the gun locker room; the man unloaded guns and ammunition, went on the deck, and began firing them before taking off (00:25:23:00)  Shore patrol went looking for him while shining large spotlights and Wykstra friend, who was part of the Shore Patrol, commented on how stupid it was; the Shore Patrol was looking for the man with spotlights but if he wanted to, he would shoot them (00:26:12:00)  They finally caught the man and the others never saw him again (00:26:34:00) Once the repairs on the ship were finished, the ship left Hawaii and sailed to several other locations but Wykstra does not remember them all (00:27:14:00) o The ship would spend thirty days sailing off the coast of Vietnam then a week at some other location, such as Bangkok, Hong Kong, Japan, the Philippines, etc. (00:27:21:00) When the ship was sailing off the coast of Vietnam, the men had their regular job but they also worked in a secondary, combat role; the men would normally go six hours on, six hours off for their primary job (00:28:01:00) o Sometimes, Wykstra worked in the fire control room for the ship’s guns relaying orders between the lieutenant stationed in the fire control room and the gun mounts, everything from where to fire to how much to fire (00:28:35:00) o Other times, Wykstra worked in the pilothouse while the ship was off the Vietnamese coast (00:28:51:00) o The ship ended up firing a lot of ammunition onto the shore but as far as Wykstra knows, while in Vietnam, the ship never received any return fire (00:29:10:00)  There were times when the ship had to sail from one location to another quickly past small Vietnamese boats; the men did not know if the boats could possibly be filled with explosives, so they did not slow down for them (00:29:21:00)  If a boat got in the way, the ship kept going (00:29:40:00) At one point, the ship received orders that it had to sail for Korea as fast as it could get there (00:29:59:00) o When the ship arrived, the sonar picked up a submarine; the men told the submarine to identify itself and surface but it did not (00:30:06:00) o The ship followed the submarine for eight days before it finally surfaced and revealed itself to be a Russian submarine (00:30:16:00) o When the submarine surfaced, the men took pictures of it and the Davidson ended up escorting it out of the area (00:30:33:00)  They ended up confiscating all the film taken of the submarine and the next day, Wykstra looked out and saw a torpedo floating in the water (00:30:41:00) �  When divers went to get the torpedo, there were snakes in the water, so sharpshooters were posted before the divers tried again (00:31:00:00)  Once they got the torpedo aboard, it was placed in the hanger bay, covered with a tarp and again, everyone’s film was confiscated (00:31:20:00) o At the time, the men did not know why they were ordered to Korea; all they knew was that there was trouble near Korea (00:32:06:00) The men did not know much about what was going on onshore in Vietnam; the commander would get the orders and the men would follow them (00:32:27:00) o One time, the ship pulled into the naval base at Cam Ranh Bay and the commander and XO went ashore while the ship remained anchored in the bay; when they came back, the two men said the ship was going to pull its anchor and leave the next (00:32:38:00)  However, the next day, the men could not raise the anchor and after trying several different ways to raise the anchor, they finally ended up cutting it off and leaving it in the bay (00:32:57:00) o When Wykstra worked in the fire control room, the lieutenant in charge of firing the guns would receive an order, then tell Wykstra what adjustments needed to be made, and Wykstra would relay the information to the gun crews (00:33:24:00) o One time, the men heard two secondary explosions when they fired the guns, which made them happy, but for the most part, they did not know what their targets were or whether they had hit them (00:33:44:00) o When it was firing, the ship normally worked alone (00:34:06:00)  However, the Davidson was also attached to the U.S.S. Hornet, and aircraft carrier, and at any one time, there was between four and seven destroyer escorts and other ships with the Hornet (00:34:11:00) Aboard the U.S.S. Hornet (00:34:55:00)  At one point, Wykstra did go aboard the aircraft carrier Hornet (00:34:55:00) o Wykstra was having trouble swallowing, so he went and saw the corpsman, who told him it was no big deal and to wait until the ship got into port, then the corpsman would send him to set a doctor (00:35:01:00) o It got so bad that Wykstra went back to the corpsman and explained that it was difficult to talk and he could not longer even swallow water (00:35:20:00) o The aircraft carrier sent over a helicopter, picked Wykstra up, and took him back to the aircraft carrier, where doctor diagnosed the problem as a wisdom tooth (00:35:27:00)  The dentist said they needed to pull the tooth, but they had trouble pulling it because as it turned out, the tooth was hooked around Wykstra’s jawbone (00:35:59:00)  They ended up breaking the tooth apart and taking it out in pieces; once they finished, they took x-rays again, found more pieces, and took those pieces out as well (00:36:12:00)  They had given Wykstra a lot of pain killers and he stayed in the dentist’s office for a long time (00:36:24:00) � o Wykstra wanted to get back to the Davidson and kept complain when the dentist staff would not let him because of the amount of painkillers they used; finally, a messenger came down and brought Wykstra up to the pilot house, where he asked permission from the commander to fly back to the Davidson (00:36:32:00)  The commander checked and told Wykstra that by the time they got a helicopter ready, it would be sunset and they could not transfer personnel after sunset (00:37:15:00)  The commander had the men get Wykstra a bunk and told him to come back the next morning (00:37:36:00) o The next morning, Wykstra again asked permission to return to the Davidson but the commander said he could not; when Wykstra why, the commander explained that the Davidson had sailed for Formosa and the Hornet was sailing to the Philippines (00:37:46:00) The Hornet ended up staying in the Philippines for a week and because it was an aircraft carrier, there were a lot of benefits for the men (00:38:17:00) o Everyday, the men were able to grill hot dogs and hamburgers, they had boats they used to go water skiing, there were women around, etc. (00:38:29:00) o In the Philippines, they did not want the men to go into town because it was dangerous for the men (00:39:03:00)  When the men went into town, they could only go down the main street and between one and three blocks in either direction off that street; everything else was out-of-bounds (00:39:18:00)  It was basically bar on top of bar and there were enlisted men’s clubs, with one playing country music and the other playing rock and roll (00:39:41:00)  Off to one side would be sitting a mamma san and several girls and if a man wanted to dance, he would go talk with the mamma san, sign his name in, pick a girl, and dance with her (00:40:15:00)  The government paid these girls well and when Wykstra ended up meeting a girl whose parents owned the restaurant / bar, she said she wanted that job because it paid the most money (00:40:37:00) o Never the less, the Navy tried to keep the men on the base (00:41:13:00) o One time, Wykstra went ashore because he had the day off and he bought a couple of butterfly knives (00:41:19:00)  Whenever he went into town, Wykstra walked back on the left hand side because when he drank, he back a little loose and on the right hand side were many more prostitutes (00:41:39:00)  This time, he saw two nice looking Filipino women who always tried to get him to go with them and that time, he said okay (00:42:02:00)  The three ended up hopping the back of a converted World War IIera jeep and on the way through the town, they begin fooling around in front of the other people (00:42:24:00)  They ended up in an out-of-bounds area and Wykstra followed them back their house (00:43:11:00) � o After Wykstra finished fooling around with another woman in the house, he put his clothes back on and discovered his knives were gone (00:44:18:00)  Wykstra then looked outside and saw at least three men standing on porch of the house; he cannot see the other side of porch, so Wykstra decides to run and jump out and when he does so, he sees two other men standing on the porch (00:44:33:00) o He assumed that they were going to get him and although they did follow him for a little while, he did eventually lose them (00:45:10:00)  As he was walking down the street back to the base, some kids came out asking for money, which Wykstra did not have (00:45:26:00)  The kids started throwing rocks, causing Wykstra to run again and luckily, a Filipino cop came, causing the kids to scatter (00:45:40:00)  Wykstra eventually made it back to the ship, but it was bad because he should have known better (00:45:54:00) o Before the ship had pulled into port, the men went to a little meeting, where it was explained how dangerous it was for the sailors in the town (00:46:02:00)  There was a river that ran next to the base and the men had to cross it to get into town; the river was filthy and kids would stand next to it, trying to bum cigarettes and other things from the sailors (00:46:15:00)  Just before the ship arrived in port, they had found the body of a sailor floating in the river with no head (00:47:18:00)  The next day, on the desk of the base commander was a box and inside was the head of the sailor (00:47:26:00) o The prostitution outside the base was really bad, although the last time Wykstra was there, there was a female mayor and she was attempting to clean it up (00:47:66:00) Wykstra finally made it back to the Davidson after about six weeks (00:48:46:00) o While aboard the Hornet, Wykstra did not have any duties and although there were movies to watch, he was still bored (00:48:53:00)  He would sit up on the flight deck and watch planes take off and land and he eventually helped the man who was supposed to clean the barracks because he was so bored (00:49:03:00) Travels around the Pacific (00:49:31:00)  Wykstra was also able to go ashore in Japan several times but he did not spend too much time in bars there; mostly, he bought china and other items that he wanted (00:49:31:00)  Going ashore in Hong Kong was fabulous (00:49:54:00) o When he first came aboard the ship, Wykstra hung out with the men in deck crew who he worked with and even when he became a yeoman, he still hung out with them because he worked in his own little office by himself (00:50:07:00) o One time, four of them were in a bar and another man who had just been promoted and was not treating the others fairly walked into the bar (00:50:23:00) �     They invite the man who and he sits between Wykstra and another man; the other men tell him that he has to start straightening up (00:51:04:00)  The man was dismissive and the next thing Wykstra knew, the other three men were beating him (00:51:30:00)  The man who was being beaten was in his late twenties / early thirties, meaning he had been in the Navy a little longer than the other men (00:52:01:00)  The men warned him that if he went back to the ship and reported them, they might go to the brig but they would eventually get out of it and they would find him (00:52:11:00)  Instead, the man reported that he had been jumped by some Chinese people (00:52:23:00) o Where the men were at, the city was clean and nice (00:53:11:00) While Wykstra was aboard, the Davidson spent seven months of the Vietnamese coast and every month, the ship would travel someplace different (00:53:53:00) Going to Bangkok was a different experience (00:54:09:00) o While there, a man would hire a cab for the day, not just one trip because it was cheaper to hire a cab for the day (00:54:20:00) o The Davidson stopped in Bangkok after about six months, making it one the later stops, and it seemed like everyone aboard ship “lost it” around then (00:54:40:00)  Wykstra knows of only one man who did not “screw around” with someone, even the married men who swore they would not cheat on their wives (00:54:59:00) o Wykstra and a friend hired a cab for a day and went touring to different locations while other men from the ship sort of took over a hotel (00:55:17:00)  People who actually lived in the hotel ended up leaving because of how the men were acting (00:55:41:00)  One man was on a second or third floor balcony and decided he was going to jump into the hotel’s swimming pool; the pool was only three feet deep where he wanted to jump but he did it anyway and ended up hurting his head (00:56:30:00)  The man continued to beg the others to let him leave the ship and go ashore again, so the last day they were in city, the men relented and let him go ashore (00:57:04:00)  The man started drinking again and decided he was going to climb a tree and grab the coconuts in it; he had to hop a fence to do so and ended up landing onto of a broken beer bottle and split his foot open (00:57:13:00)  Some other soldiers at the hotel wanted to put a tourniquet on the foot, but the sailor said no and to just call an ambulance; the man did eventually pull through (00:57:49:00) Morale aboard the Davidson was not bad (00:58:19:00) Wykstra did end up getting into serious trouble once (00:58:44:00) o While in the Philippines, he was in a bar drinking and an ensign who had just come aboard the Davidson walked in; Wykstra had introduced himself when the ensign came aboard, so the ensign sat with Wykstra in the bar (00:58:50:00) �o Wykstra questioned the ensign, saying that he was an officer and was not supposed to be in town and not supposed to be seen associating with an enlisted man like Wykstra (00:59:12:00) o The ensign told Wykstra not to worry about it and he continued buy drinks for himself and two Filipino girls, although Wykstra warned him that the girls were not drinking alcohol, they were drinking tea (00:59:24:00) o When they got into the bedroom, the girl Wykstra was with said she was from Manila and Wykstra said he wanted to go there (00:59:51:00)  However, no one on a ship, not even a commander, was allowed an overnight; a sailor’s rank determined what time he had to be back aboard the ship (01:00:08:00)  Wykstra had to be back by ten o’clock, a petty officer by eleven, and a regular officer was midnight (01:00:24:00) o The girl said she would take Wykstra to Manila, so they planned to meet up later and go (01:00:38:00) o Wykstra figured he was going to get in trouble but his brother had been stationed in Manila and Wykstra figured he could go there then tell his brother how much it had changed in eight years (01:00:50:00) o When Wykstra went to the designated spot, the girl was not there, so he had a few drinks and decided to return to the ship; however, on the way back to the ship, Wykstra saw the girl and together, they walked and boarded a bus (01:01:11:00) o When Wykstra and the girl got off the bus, they got into a taxi, which took them through several small villages before stopping in one and the girl explained that that was where she lived (01:01:48:00) o The girl’s house turned out to be a hut made out of bamboo and while Wykstra was sitting there, almost everyone in the village came up to see him; it eventually reached the point that they placed him by a window so everyone could see him (01:02:16:00)  The girl’s father was the chief of police and when they all went to bed, Wykstra could not belief that the father would send his daughter to be a prostitute in order to help the family (01:03:19:00) o The next day, Wykstra and the girl went to the village’s marketplace and when Wykstra saw kids running around the streets naked, he bought a bunch of underwear and handed it out to the kids (01:03:52:00) o The village mayor lived next to the girl’s family and they ended up throwing Wykstra a dinner that all the men in the village showed up to; when the men finished eating, the women could eat while the men drank alcohol (01:04:37:00)  The other villagers wanted Wykstra to sing, so they got a guitar and started playing for him (01:05:52:00) o The next day, they went to a movie before Wykstra said he had to get back to the base and the girl had to take him because he did not know how (01:06:11:00) o The girl eventually took him back and when he boarded the ship, an officer told Wykstra he was in trouble, although Wykstra explained he had paid someone to take his place (01:06:32:00)  The officer said he knew Wykstra had an upcoming liberty leave and he suggested Wykstra stay on the ship, which he did (01:06:56:00) �    The Davidson eventually left the Philippines and headed back to Vietnam; on the way back to port, the commander wanted to talk with Wykstra and hear his story and Wykstra explained that he did more than any ambassador ever did (01:07:11:00) o The commander said he did not care what Wykstra had done, he knew better and as punishment, Wykstra was confined to the ship for the next ninety days (01:07:48:00) o After going to Vietnam for another thirty days, the Davidson sailed to Hawaii, where Wykstra was supposed to get off because his tour was ending (01:08:16:00) o Wykstra knew some of the men in personnel and when they typed up Wykstra’s orders, they left off his punishment, he was supposed to go to the barracks for thirty more days to finish the punishment, and the ship’s XO signed it (01:08:28:00) When he was in, Wykstra did not give any thought to staying in the Navy (01:09:04:00) o To him, if someone wanted to stay in, that was fine but being in the service meant that someone did not think for themselves and if they did so, they got in trouble; the men did what they were told and Wykstra could not continue to do that (01:09:08:00) Wykstra never actually went ashore in Vietnam (01:09:35:00) Off all the men Wykstra served with, he wants to know what happened to one man, who was from Wichita, Kansas, the most (01:09:57:00) o The man suggested when Wykstra and he get out they go and tour the United States together (01:10:10:00) o However, Wykstra said he could not afford it because he needed to save money for college (01:10:17:00) o Wykstra got out of the military in 1969 and in 1972, he and three other men did decide to do a little tour of the country, although one guy eventually dropped out (01:10:25:00)  They were gone for three months and when they stopped in Wichita, Wykstra looked the man up and discovered the man had gone right to hell (01:10:48:00)  He and another man were renting an apartment above a store and delivering cars to car lots (01:11:03:00) o Wykstra and the other man spent a lot of time together while in the service; they would be paid every other weekend, after which the two men would go ashore (01:11:51:00)  The first weekend they were in Hawaii, both men went ashore and the second weekend, they were low on money (01:12:05:00)  If Wykstra had duty on a Friday, he would give what money he had to the man, who would play cards and would usually win, although one time they had to spend the entire weekend aboard the ship because he lost all the money (01:12:23:00) o One time, the two men went to a piano bar and one of the women there was gorgeous; Wykstra said something to her and after her reaction, Wykstra told the other man that they needed to go to church (01:13:31:00) �     After church, the two men went back to the bar and the woman was still there; Wykstra’s friend started playing pool (01:14:27:00)  At some point, Wykstra had bought a car, an old Chevy that almost always had something wrong with it, and Wykstra managed to convince the girl to go with him, his friend, and a man the friend had been shooting pool with (01:14:41:00)  The four went to a beach they thought was deserted and they decided to go skinny-dipping (01:15:23:00)  The girl was so drunk that she passed out on the way back and when the men got her to where she had said she lived, they pulled her out of the car and left her on the sidewalk (01:16:06:00) When Wykstra was first on the deck crew, the lieutenant junior-grade who was his boss did not like him and one time, ordered Wykstra to sandblast part of the deck (01:17:19:00) o Wykstra said he had a liberty leave upcoming but the lieutenant canceled it and made Wykstra do the sandblasting (01:17:49:00) Most of the time, the enlisted men and officers were kept segregated (01:19:04:00) o Wykstra never saw an hostility between the two groups except for one time when the ship was going into port (01:19:12:00)  The commander and XO were both in the pilothouse and at one point, the commander told the XO to take over because the XO needed to learn the stuff; the XO was giving the orders and the commander corrected on him two occasions (01:19:30:00)  After the third time he had to correct a decision, the commander began yelling at the XO in front of the enlisted personnel in the pilothouse (01:19:53:00) o Generally, the officers treated the enlisted personnel okay (01:20:31:00)  The officers tended to throw their weight around and on some occasions, their decisions were questionable but the enlisted crew could do nothing about it (01:20:34:00)  The men could definitely tell that some of the officers were career military (01:20:59:00) When there was a ship’s reunion, it felt somewhat awkward for Wykstra because he had only served for two years whereas many of the others had served longer, often four years and they were much more “gung-ho” for the Navy (01:21:25:00) When Wykstra was nearing the end of his tour, he had the opportunity to take a test and become a yeoman but he declined; when asked why he declined, although he would in all likelihood pass, Wykstra explained that there had been rumors circulating that some of the sailors might get and early discharge and if he passed the test, he would not get an early discharge (01:21:47:00) o Wykstra ended up flunking the test but he did not receive an early discharge (01:22:31:00)  Had he enlisted a month earlier, Wykstra would have gotten the early discharge (01:22:48:00) o When the Davidson sailed back to Vietnam, Wykstra had the opportunity to take the test again but he told the officer he was going to flunk it again (01:23:02:00) �o When the men finally got to San Francisco to be discharged, they were waiting in a large gymnasium when there was an announcement for all the men in personnel and yeomen of a certain rank to stand up, but Wykstra was not high enough (01:23:32:00)  All the men who stood ended up receiving at minimum a month-long extension on their enlistment to help process all the other sailors’ discharges (01:24:34:00) Post-Military Life / Reflections (01:20:31:00)  Once he finally got out of the Navy, Wykstra returned to working full time and attending college (01:25:15:00) o He took as many credits as he could at a local college before transferring to Ferris State University (01:25:28:00) o After taking the required courses at Ferris State, he transferred again, this time to Grand Valley State University, where he took the majority of his elective classes in law enforcement (01:26:01:00) o Wykstra ended up with a two-year degree from the local college and a business degree from Ferris State (01:26:42:00)  After getting his degrees, Wykstra worked as a 2nd shift manager (01:26:52:00) o It eventually reached the point that his children would be going to school, so Wykstra asked to start workings days, even if that meant doing less skilled jobs (01:27:01:00) o The company honored his request and moved him to working during the day (01:27:31:00)  Looking back, Wykstra was glad he was in the Navy, he saw a lot of the world, and if he had to do it again he would, but he still would not enlist for four years (01:28:03:00) o Had he originally go in for four years, he probably would have taken the yeoman tests and passed them (01:28:20:00)  When Wykstra left, he had a going away party at his parent’s house, who were going to visit his brother-in-laws family; everyone knew Wykstra had the party and when his parents got home, they found out (01:29:09:00) o The first letter Wykstra got from his mother said that she was disappointed that he had the party (01:30:19:00) � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
