1968-1969
| I was drafted in June '67, took
basic at Fort Polk, LA and then off to Eustis, VA for 11 weeks of
helicopter mechanics school (MOS 67N20). I arrived in Chu Lai in Sept
'68 and was put to work the same day as a crew chief on UH-1H
"Slick" and stayed in that position for the next 10 months
until it was time to come home in June 1969. I departed the F/8 as
a Spec 5 and with a pocket full of air medals |
