Went to Vietnam in the fall of 1969 as a "green" 2nd LT and AS3 for the the 1/83rd Field Artillery Battalion (part of 24th Corps Artillery).
1/83 was a heavy artillery battalion based at Camp Eagle in General Support of the 101st Airborne Division. 3rd MAF had operational control of I Corps until early 1970 (they gave us intel on some great targets) when 24th Corps took over in early 1970.
Took over as Battery CO of a heavy artillry battery at FB Bastogne in the spring of 1970.
Would love to hear from guys in that area at the same time. It was both the worst and best times of our lives.
