(12:32) He as well as friends of his knew they were going to be drafted. (12:45) Enlisting in the Air Force and serving for 4 years was seen as an alternative to being drafted and serving perhaps a more dangerous term in the army. (12:58) After taking a qualifying test he had received his results and was accepted into the Air Force, however his friend Paul Brown got drafted before he received his test results back. He served his entire term in Germany. (13:18) He spent 2 years of his enlistment in Vietnam.

(17:00)  There was also daily physical training and weapons training on the M4 and the M16. (17:26)  At Tyndall Air Force Base he was assigned to the flight line. This is where he began training on 20mm cannons. (18:14)  Every chance he got he was out on the flight line and he became very familiar with the task. he learned everything from loading to maintenance (18:35)  he was technically an administrative person be he also did some firing. (18:59)  He had the administrative and use records of the 20mm cannon. (19:14)  He served at Tyndall Air Force Base for about a year. (approx. 1966-December 9th 1967)(19:30)  promptly he was assigned to the 412th Munitions Maintenance Squadron in Vietnam(19:20)  He was given leave before sent into service in Vietnam. (20:00) Arrival in Vietnam (20:10)  He had been shipped out of the U.S. from March Air Force Base to McCord. (20:22)  He left on approx.. January 25th and arrived February 2nd 1968 (20:39)  he arrived at Cam Ranh Bay Vietnam (21:09)  At this point Cam Ranh was a full Air Force Base and had one of the largest landing strips in the country. (21:21) �            Every military denomination had been stationed at this Air Force Base including the Vietnamese and Koreans as well as every military branch aside from the Coast Guard. (21:48) the base also had the best food of any military post in Vietnam (22:17) here he was assigned to the 412th MMS (munitions maintenance squadron)(22:35) his basic responsibilities had consisted of the ammo dump, the flight line, reloading aircraft (cannons and machine guns.) as well as getting munitions delivered around the country. (23:00) From the instant he hopped off the plain, he recalls the heat and the smell. (Not a stench but just a different smell.) (24:20) The Base had hot and cold running water as well as central air. This surprised him as he did not expect such conditions in a war zone. (24:04) The chow hall was very large and was open to all branches of service there. (25:30) In spite landing in February it was very hot and humid and it rained very often. (26:45) The base was on a peninsula which had white sand beaches and blue water that appeared very beautiful. (27:30) There was an enlisted beach and an officers beach that the men there were allowed to use with cabanas, sodas, and beer available (27:55) His living quarters had heat and air conditioning and men were even given individual rooms. (28:30) Barbecues where held for soldiers returning from the field to help with R&R (29:12) Service in Vietnam (29:30)  Typically his job had been a shift.

(30:14)  5 days before he left country the 5th or 7th Field Hospital was hit. (30:55)  His unit did not take any casualties and while he does not recall how many there had to have been casualties when the field hospital was hit. (31:47)  He was sent into the Marine Base at Khe Sanh in March, 1968, while there the landing zone was extremely hot. (32:27)  Not every man in his unit had been sent out but instead the men rotated to deliver supplies. They traveled in either a C130 or an Air Force helicopter. (33:02)  This task required him to drop off munitions supplies. (33:19)  He delivered to Khe Sanh 20 millimeter ammunition Howitzer as well as ammunition for M14s and hand grenades. (34:30)  He had to travel into Khe Sanh twice. The first of these two trips had been the hottest (under heavy fire.) (35:01)  He has not ever or since felt the same sort of fear he felt during his first trip to Khe Sanh. (35:25)  When at Khe Sanh he had been on the ground for approx. 45 minutes. (35:34) �                     In Hue he delivered to a rear and though it was still a hot area it was not as dangerous as his Khe Sanh experience. (36:06) The most terrifying thing he saw was the dropping of a napalm bomb. (36:34) The first napalm bomb he saw dropped was only 1 Kilometer away from his position. (37:31) He went to Vietnam believing that the military was fighting to preserve freedom and to protect the U.S. but when he left he believed it had been the U.S. that was the intruder. He also believed that the U.S. corrupted that country. (38:35) Overall he thinks the civilians had been friendly however once soldiers had been stationed in Vietnam the black market rapidly adjusted to accommodate to the soldiers desires.
