50 years ago this week I was packing my gear, getting my stuff shipped home from the "nam". I was 24 (and I dont mind posting my age) been in the mekong delta hauling cargo resupplying the units, food booze, ammo, etc.....bought up a bunch of stereo,camera gear in the exchanges. the ship was loading out cargo in saigon (then) and I had only one day to get my stuff shipped home and get to the airport at tan son nhut. I had to go back to the base at nha be to get some records. boarded the plane and we climbed so fast my ears did not acclimate until we came back down at yakota afb japan a couple hours later....asked the stews(flight attendants) for some gum they said get back to my seat....50 years a long long long long tim ago.........
