The common tour of duty in Vietnam in the late 1960s was one year. This is my account—as a US Army draftee—of my time in-country serving as a company clerk for a transportation company, part of the Army 1st Logistical Command. I arrived at the Bien Hoa airbase near Saigon on Thanksgiving Day in 1967 and was assigned to the BARC Company (Barge, Amphibious, Resupply, Cargo) initially stationed in Qui Nhon, a mid coast city. In the spring of 1968, my company was moved to a beach at Thon My Thuy, just east of Quang Tri and about fifteen miles south of the DMZ. There it provided logistical support for the relief of the siege of Khe Sanh and other operations in what was known as I Corps (northern sector) of South Vietnam. There I lived in sand bagged bunkers and witnessed some of the war activities up close, but in an administrative position, although equipped for combat, I was mostly an observer—and at the time unaware of the very real dangers lurking in the countryside all around us. As a college educated draftee, I experienced frustration at the tedious and mind numbing existence of Army life. Often, the most serious threats to life and limb seemed not to be from exposure to the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese enemy, but instead from the internal strife and racial tensions among my fellow GIs. I finished my tour at the giant US base and port (and safe) Cam Ranh Bay, where these tensions were magnified. The book is amply illustrated with photographs, and also includes brief accounts of my two R and Rs in Hong Kong.
