I guess yours is the Comment I was waiting for in my busyness responding to others since this post. You are right! It was rough going for months. (Vietnam War period). Scroll down to topics. You remember so much & are filling in the gaps in my memory!!! Since time was of the essence and I was the contact for the LN workers at our yard I drove them to the Air Force Base Hospital to give birth.
Alaska Camp Denali USA I never really knew the drug problem was so bad as you indicate & never heard of the Army testing guys for drugs as you describe they eventually did. All the best to you! –a unique coincidence for two RU Glee Clubbers! You would hear a blast, near or far, and off went the sirens. Come to think of it, I HAD to be getting haircuts there too…same barber shop. That was the only small arms fire I received during my tour. Most of theie arms were in the arms room but I guess some people did have weapons and returned fire. that was assigned to the 128th sig comp .d (really worked with Operation Duffle Bag formerly Igloo ) wondering if you have heard anything more on Duffle Bag ? Maybe that was where we shopped for supplies. The trainees rest in the shade of a tree.
As MPs we had no shortage of steaks or beer. Thanks for the reminder…RayImpressive! Heroin is just such a terrible addiction.The drug was so easy to obtain almost anywhere. From your comments, you are up on our house move & my wife Geri’s surgery….. you reading from the above exchanges with Bill & Ray.
PhilLike I said I have a real hard time with dates but I was in country from Jan 1971 to jun 1972. A bunch of thieves all around.Bill & Chip, My experiences at the 97th MP BN HHD S-4 were so limited compared to all you describe! And I didn’t know about the Club & the WP Grenade incident. If you can tell me anything about my outfit I sure would be in your dethI was wrong , it was not a transportation company, it was a signal company.Kevin Keating, Wow! I posted on this cite Dec. 22 2016.Ray, You’re a good, thorough man re the date of your comment!
I can be reached at the following email: [first name] underscore [last name] @ mac [dot] comKenneth White, My name is Philip Fontana. Hope I get to relate some of the gems of anecdotes.
He had successfully brought together about 10 of us. Sometimes I go back & review all you Vietnam Vets who comment here to keep you straight in my mind. I do not believe my memory problems are from age because I have had a hard time for many years remembering all the details. One of my favorites! Like some of the others at the Depot my Platoon tended to stay away from Tiger Lake and went to the China Sea beaches. Maybe before 1970 in Cam Ranh.

Thanks for coming back to comment! PhilI almost went career army like many of my college frat brothers and as a sophomore in ROTC in ’68 I was one of 600 nation wide awarded full college scholarship and then on to OCS. Thanks! I’m glad I decided to clean my email house today–I found your gem lurking amidst all the stuff that had to go. I do not even remember this agent and it should be easy because the unit was not that big. But you were part of history being there during the Berlin Wall crisis…must have been quite something! See if you can reply to Jerry lines comment above!!! Yes, I sure DO remember the home support, the center of which was that tape recording I still have done at a Memorial Day picnic at your parents house 1970!!! After deep contemplation I turned it down and I became a teacher instead for 33 years in minority high schools. I did my first year at Fort Knox as a Supply Sgt at the Reception Station putting new recruits to bed, and my second year at the Cam Ranh Army Depot. I can’t find you on Dec 16 but I recall our conversation about picking up supplies/”shopping” for my Headquarters Co of the 97th MP Bn at your shop!
I had a truck flip over on me is why I was in hospital and was sent to Walter reed Hospital. Hope her recovery went well. You have done it again, shown that quantity dosn´t matter, it is the quality in the post which should be the core. Once it was found we evacuated the warehouse and called for help. – “Never happen!” We were on the second floor of the barracks! …of the 128th Signal!!! I did baby drop off a couple of times during my tour.Bill Wonsik, Bill!!!
