Best Moment My whole assignment here was good. Except for the occassional mortar fire, it was like being stationed at my previous stateside base. We worked a six and three schedule. We worked three swing shifts, 1500 to 2300, 24 hrs off, three mid shifts, 2300 to 0700, 24 hrs off the three day shifts, 0700 to 1500. We then got three whole days, 72 hrs off to do as we pleased. Occassionally one of the three days off was a scheduled training day. I, and the group above, would always close down the club on our days off. We would lay in the sun, do our shopping, play cards, go to a movie at the outdoor theatre or just lay around reading, mostly comic books, or doing nothing.
Worst Moment I really did not have any worst moments here. Your time WAS your time.
Chain of Command UNK, forgotten after 45 years and no papers to indicate who the supers were at the time.
Other Memories After closing the club one night we headed across the street to our barracks. Between the street and the barracks was a, about five foot, dirt embankment to the barracks. It had rained that day and it was just mud. We could have walked around the corner of the street where it was level with the barracks but, we attempted to go up the embankment. Wetried to walk up but slipped in the mud. We tried to crawl up and kept slipping in the mud. We thought it was funny and broke out laughing at ourselves. A jeep patrol came around the corner and saw us all muddy and laughing and they began laughing also. We then decided to walk around the corner. The mortar attacks never reached the barracks area and I had become so accustomed to them that I began sleeping through them.
