Best Friends Steve Hobson and Jerry Rambo 19 photos, see the next assighnment. Special Operations. 20th S.O.S.
Best Moment Had a great beach. White sand, clear blue water, jellyfish. Too bad it was a war zone. From the roof of the 6 story hotel in town you would think you're in paradise, then you'd walk out onto the dirt streets and watch someone squat and relieve themselves, and worst of all, who do you trust? The natives and the enemy look exactly alike.
Worst Moment Mortar attacks. Not often, but the air raid sirens would go off so often, many of us stopped reacting to them. How do you know which is for real? If the bunker you're hiding in takes a direct hit, maybe the barracks was a better place to sit.
Other Memories A C-47 flight from Nha Trang to Udorn R.T.A.F.B. in Thailand. Harrowing. Not out of fear of ground fire.I thought the air worthiness of the aircraft was suspect; extremely noisy and bumpy ride. Frightning .To say that I was concerned might have been an understatement.
