Harold,
Only did one tour. Sep 67-Sep68. Was going back in 71 as a special
project director. Building a Pharmaceutical Mfgr Plant for the ARVN in
the Cho-Lan district in Siagon. They pulled the project so I went to the
Pentagon for 4 years. Siagon would have been a better assignment.
One of our nurses at 2nd SURG MA was married to a LRRP LT. I use to
house his dog when he came in for a quick visit with his wife. Never met
him. Only knew he was around when his dog was in the special CONEX.
You really got around. I was all over I Corps either supporting the
Marines or putting my platoons out at Danang, Phu Bi Quang Tri and Dong
Ha. I commanded the 563rd MED CLR company.

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.
