BA> Replying to a message of BOB KLAHN to BOB ACKLEY:
BK>> My only TDYs were for school.
BA> I did one TDY from Okinawa to Da Nang for operational
BA> reasons, then two from Offutt to Keesler for schools.
BA> Late one afternoon during my TDY to Da Nang one of the
BA> other fellows that was with me came into the tent and told
BA> me to pack, that we had to be out of the country *today*.
BA> Well, that late in the day there weren't any airplanes
BA> leaving Da Nang for anyplace out of the country, so we left
BA> the next day at about 1800 - on a C124 piled full of mail
BA> with about a dozen passengers crammed in jump seats along
BA> the sides. Turns out that the day we actually left was our
BA> 60th day in country, and we had to be given credit for the
BA> time spent there (and qualified for the ribbon).
They didn't want you to get the ribbon???
...
BK>> So, you are saying, had I reenlisted I would have gotten to
BK>> go more places? Well... maybe I should have... nah.
BA> Had I left the service after 4 years I still would have
BA> seen Clark and Kadena (and, if you count stopovers, Hawaii,
BA> Wake and Guam).
Hey... I saw Florida and Maine, and a stopover in Omaha.
Maine was my favorite.
