Email: Comments: Hello Everyone, well I have been thinking about this visit for a couple of years now ... I posted about it, at that time but we did not make it than ... well it has come back around again. Steve Carlson, Neil Brown and myself are planning a trip to Saigon, in the near future. As for the future we are looking at Feb 2013 or March 2-13. Making sure we don’t go over there during the TET time frame, we want to stay away from that. At the present we are planning on a 10 day trip. I am taking my wife and daughter with me. You see, I put in over two tours over there, 1965 - 1966, Pleiku, In 1968 I was TDY from Naha Air Base, Okinawa and then back again for my second tour in 1969 - 1970. While at Pleiku, I was with the 15th Aerial Port Squadron, Det 1 and was out on mobilities while with them. During my second tour I was assigned to the mobility section of the 8th Aerial Port Squadron, Tan Son Nhut. Our section was located at the end of the runway. down by the motor pool. While visiting Tan Son Nhut, I am planning on a little trip to Pleiku to see that, then on down to Bin Thuy. We lost a team member there in Dec 1969. My whole team was also wounded there in Dec. I am taking my camera with us, so when I get back I will send them to the Tan Son Nhut Association. Thanks, Jim Wade Ret, MSgt, USAF | |

Email: Comments: Hello, I am not sure if this type of message is allowed on your organization's message board, but I am trying to locate people who served in or have a knowledge of the Capital Military District Advisory Team (Advisory Team 100). Though this is different from the Tan Son Nhut Association, given the close proximity I thought people here may have have some leads on how to contact these particular veterans. I am a history graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, hoping to write a unit history of this group with a focus on advising, from roughly 1967-1970. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached at the above email address. Thank you, Brett Reilly Brett Reilly History Department University of Wisconsin Madison (716)713-1057 | |
