 :) CJ  :) Nice!  :) How many years did you do? Just on the off chance...did you know Ron Wilson from Troxelville,Pa.? should have been there about the same time frame as you. He used to attend all the SF get together's before he passed.....I know he went to one in AZ or NM back around 2003...just wondering, sometimes it's a small world..... 8)

Total of just a bit over 27, twenty-four first go around and three the last go around, most of that time with the 82nd, 173rd,SF and then - others that we don't talk about.  Did a couple of garrison tours, mostly as a paper pusher or instructor. The name Ron Wilson is familiar but can't put a face or place to it.  Do you know what Group or organization he was with?

I too was with the 5th in VN, mid 60's, SOG late 60's and then again in the late 60's.  Was also with the 1st in Okinawa with many of trips "off" the island.  Maybe that is why the name is familiar, many times you may be in the same Group but never see or meet others in the Group, but will occasionally hear a name mentioned.
