Greetings,
Here is what I did whilst in the Army.
Date of Enlistment: February 7th, 1967
After Basic and AIT, I was stationed at Fort Ord, California and then at McNair Barracks, West Berlin. I volunteered for service in Vietnam. My tour dates there were November 20th, 1968 - November, 19th 1969, the proverbial 364 days and a wakeup.
I was released from active duty (REFRAD) on Novemeber 22nd at Oakland Army Terminal.
While in Vietnam, my MOS was Armorer but basically I was assigned to a "mobs for jobs" outfit called a Special Security Detail. Most of the time, I'd say about 95% of the time, it was hot, boring, and hot. Did I say it was hot? The other 5% were moments that had a rather high PST(Pants Sh*tting Terror) factor. The most memorable being blown out of my bunk at 0300 hrs one morning by a near miss from a 122mm artillery rocket. Helluva way to start your day.
Out Here,
Frank Frey
