CONUS_Orders.JPGGoing Home - CONUS Orders134 viewsSpecial Orders #245 were special indeed! Switch the numbers around and you have my Northwest Airlines flight #254. The arrival at Oakland Army Air Terminal was bullshit, though. Due to our wonderful "hippie" anti-war friends, they were shooting .22 cal rifles through the chain-link fence at the Oakland Terminal and we were diverted to McChord AFB. There we were treated to "midnight physicals". Ya think anyone refused to sign a medical release then? The next photo shows our "going home" barracks...even got a Floor & Bunk assignment. The jungle never looked like this!!

JY-1.jpgGetting a better view134 viewsJenny climbed to the top of the sandbagged structure (FDC?) to get a better view. Jenny visited several firebases in the FIELD, not sitting in the rear areas like a lot of well-publicized celebrities who went to Vietnam. Jenny and her cohorts were brave enough to go meet the men who did the fighting, not the ping-pong players in the rear. She feels pretty sure that this photo was taken at LZ St George.
