i remember being among a detachment sent from chu lai to hill 29 for about 3 weeks. a big red headed fellow from texas, i think his last name was pullen (he was a school teacher like me), were assigned to a 50 cal for the entire excursion. pullen and i got this assignment by proving our stupidity that we could break the 50 cal down and put it back together faster than any other pair of guys.
later when 7th comm moved to danang, about ten of us were left as a comm detachment with 7th eng just outside the main enterance to the chu lai base. lt. tanaka was the officer in charge. sgt husky was the guy with clearance for the encription machines. we were still seperated from the outfit at the time of the tet offensive of 68. would like to hear from any one who remembers these times. looking forward to the reunion. just learned about this site and the reunion today 3/24/05.
