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.
