CMS Huber,
A big HOOOORAH !! I did 23 years total in uniform. 5plus in USPHS and
18 United States Army MSC (Pharmacy Officer) TET 68 was at Chu Lai. Did
not know it was the hottest spot in the offensive until I rotated home
in Sep 68. Retired in 89.
Welcome to the Q

Or going home on the late nite dinky and walk thru the smoker
full of that wacky tobacco you would float between cars. Often
good peek shows as well.

As Paul Harvey used to say "the rest of the story" as smelly
and eye watering as working the smokers on a dinky could be;
there was the other side..... There was nothing like walking
into a full coach,eastbound in the morning and getting a full
waft of a couple dozen or more perfumes. It was better than a
cosmetic counter at a store. Fully more fragrant than any
florists. And then there was eye appeal of the seat occupants
wearing the perfumes !
No need to go to a bar to meet the opposite sex. Pretty young
female support staff, in the age before computers, and
young,or even middle aged males dressed in tailored dark blue
uniforms with all the attributes of authority. Well let's just
say many a trainman met his wife on a dinky.
