Along with my Army buddy played football on the 84th Engineer Battalion team at Fort Ord so we could get out of KP duty. We didn't win a game. I only had 9 months left so I figured it was safe to drive out my car back to Ft Ord after leave home. Put our GI camp gear to good use & enjoy a bit of what CA had to offer, Big Sur, many beatiful state parks, maybe even a national park or two. Got in very late Sun night. At revalie the very next morning they announced we were be marched over after breakfast to the auditorium for a convocation. There they announced we were headed for overseas. Needless to say, I was disappointed & had to turn right around & drive my 62 black Ford ex-patrol car right back home in NE. Took along fellow surveyor along the way who was from Kemmerer, WY staying overnight with his family there. I have a few picture's on Midway Island where we drink all the beer they had on the island. At least this is the story we got. Saw gooney bird's (a rare bird where Midway Island is 1 of 2 places wh

After Standing-Down Company D, 27th Engineers, I was assigned as the asst. Bn S-4 Officer for a couple weeks until the HHC Cdr left. I then was given command of the HHC. Most of my work at the time was related to the Battalion Stand-Down, and the Stand-Up of Engineer Region 1. We kept much of the Battalion's vertical and horizontal capability...I think we retained nearly 200 people from the battalion. I was the last Commander from the 84th...Lycon and Hardiman left leaving me to clean-up the pieces. I have a lot of photos from the Battalion...will post them when I have time.

MY MOS was 81B20 (Draftsman)during the day and "tower guard" during some evenings. I worked on plans for a sentry dog kennel, Bong Son Bridge, and a Postal Annex while in Nam. I've lost track of my Nam buddies over the years... (i.e. "Spud" Prescott, Bill Dubois, Wendell Simmons, "Rick" from Tacoma, Wash.). I'll correspond with anyone who can remember back then when the "tank farm" got smoked. Stay well...
