Hardcharger Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 USMC 0351 92-95 2/2 2nd Mar Div, Camp Lejeune, NC. During my time with 2/2, my company was the track company for our battalion, but we did most of the usual light infantry fun stuff (like 30 mile humps -- my knees and ankles still tell the tale). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Low draft number in 1972 but they abruptly ended the draft and the Vietnam war rather than have to deal with me. As a happy result I've remained alive for the intervening 35 years. My 'mere dilettant' credentials regarding the military remain pure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pfc Driscole James E Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I was a member of the United States Naval Service from Sept 19th, 1969 to Sept 12th, 1975. A period of 5 years 11 months and 24 days. I archived through the grace of God and the oversight of the Bureau of Personnel the lofty Rate and Rating of Electronics Technician Radar Second Class. (For the nautically challenged thats an E-5; for the US Military Enlisted Pay Grade challenged it equivalent to a 3 stripe Sgt in the US Army or USMC) I volunteered twice for duty in the Republic of Viet Nam, but both times the Bureau of Personnel determined that my services were absolutely indispensable to keeping the Red Banner Fleet away from New Jersey. Served on: USS Agile MSO-421 USS Sierra AD-18 (Pronounced SEA-ERROR by some wags) USS Holder DD-819 Entered the Naval Service from Collingdale Penna. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis50 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Ft. Lewis was where I went for RVN training before departing for the Nam. All I remember is hot days and cold nights. Was only there for 2 weeks ..are those cold or cool nights the norm for those parts in the summer ? Regards, Gunz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Pretty much. Depends on how hot it gets during the day. Sweltering heat usually only came around every couple years. It is normally one of those "We don't need AC" places. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
