Oh wow! I just ran into these pod casts from the guys that did the ‘A team’ missions in ‘Nam. I watched this podcast and I figure I probably worked with this bloke in May ’68 out of FOB 1 (Phu By) and then maybe FOB 3 (Khe Sahn, My Loc). He started talking about an ugly mission over in the Ah Shau and for a while I thought it was one that I was on. A very ugly extraction, but there were enough differences that it had to be a different mission.
He said the NDA’s (non-disclosure agreement) were for 20 years, but I remember them being for 30 years.
We hated in the mornings for the CQ to wake us up and tell us we had drawn an FOB mission. Crikey, you knew it was going to be a bad day.
