Unloading  in Vung Tau,Vietnam 8/15/66

      

Tay Ninh, 96 Kilometers N/W of Saigon, was known

as "Rocket City" due to the rain of 122mm rockets

directed at the Base Camp.

From the shores of  Vung Tau, we were loaded on trucks, to C-130's  which transported  us to Tay Ninh.

This is our first day in Tay Ninh, our home for the next  9 months.

The only man made thing on base camp was the airstrip.

seasickness  was all around
