Comments: I arrived at Stanton Field in late Nov 66. The cold and the smell were
a NEW experience for a 17 year old Floridian. I was fresh out of
Huey school at Eustis.
It seemed like a fairly Spartan existence, platoons double bunked in
Quonset huts, boiling on the top bunk, freezing on the bottom bunk,
walking to a different building for latrines and showers, a single foot
locker and wall locker for all belongings, and some Roy Orbison nut
playing his songs on a stereo from 1700 to Taps.
I never saw a Huey for the entire tour, but man oh man, the CH21's,
H34's and Ch37's that flew in made a lot of racket.
I was a switchboard operator for several months and can assure you
that MASH got it wrong. It was almost impossible to get a call
through to the states.
Doing a night patrol on the DMZ with ACTA was the single scariest
thing I've ever done in my life, and that includes 30 months in RVN
including Tet of 68.
If Howard Baker is still out there, give me a shout. I have a

He recently died with prostate cancer. I was born 1969
with what was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy, But in
order for me to have this it should be Genetic on both
sides of the family but it was not. I'm severely
handicapped. I found out some disturbing news today.
We went to the VA today to put in for his Grave foot
Marker, we ended up being there for 4 hours, we found
out Daddy was exposed to Agent Orange. They told Us
that was likely the reason he got prostate cancer and
the reason I was born with Handicapped. The Army knew
it was dangerous poison but used it any way. It was
sprayed to kill all vegetation, Trees etc... so the
Vietnamese couldn't hide and to flush them out of their
villages. Daddy was living near one of those villages,
he told me that during what they called a field mission
he was over come by the fumes and passed out he would
have died but a Korean lady found him and got him help.
If I can prove that he was near the DMZ The VA may help
with my medical bills. I know he worked in the Motor
Pool and I think he was at camp mackenzie maybe in
seoul barbara or kimpo. Does anybody know if this was
near the DMZ?
