I did not serve "in country", but was TDY to Guam in 1965 and again in 72-73 working as a jet engine mechanic on B-52"s. I was also TDY to Clark AB Phillipines four times during 1967 to 1971. While in the P.I., I did a little volunteer base police work. One night recieved incoming auto weapon fire from off base. There were lots of VC symphathizers in the Phillipines. I consider myself a viet era vet, but not combat vet.
