Following basic training at Ft. Campbell, Ky., and A.I.T.at Fort Gordon, Ga., I was selected for duty in Vietnam, arriving in-country in late March 1970. Assigned to HHC, 45th General Support Group, located at Camp Schmidt, Pleiku, I found myself working as a clerk in Group Headquarters. Later in my tour, I had the opportunity to become a courier, basically operating an inter-office mail facility and carrying correspondence between my facility and a larger facility in Qui Nhon, riding in C-123's, C-7's, and on one interesting occasion, a VNAF C-119.
