Welcome home from an Army Grunt, My company (565th Trans ) was attached to the 3rd MAF for about 6 months. Never knew much about the fource except for the work we were doing, so I was just on a information hunt about the unit as a whole. we always got along well with you garheads, had some good and bad times, the Navy guys could be trying sometimes so we ususly hung out with you guys. We turned into brothers in the end. Thanks and good luck. JLG RVN 67-70

I spent my time with the H & S Co., III MAF at Camp Horn 1969-1970. I remember the bar fight we were in at the e-club with the Army (We won). One big gently sargent who took on the army guys (He won and got busted). I remember a guy name Golden from Calif, we hitch hiked to an army base to get our G.E.D (We passed), a guy named Louis Carver from New York who was my best friend (Brown Belt). A guy in the band who was so hairy that he shaved the hair off of his chest and belly to look like a peace sign (Played rock music). The Rok Marines who took no prisoners (Bad Dudes). I rembr the guys who try to write up a drunk Lt. (All of them got busted) The guy that commited suicide in the laundry room (Before he came back to the world). The guy who fraged his Captain (Stayed on #10's), and Banks who went crazy (Sent to Japan). The rockets hitting our base (Miss me). Going to China Beach for fire pratice (tat tat tat boom). The sargent who drank Obese and stayed up for 4 days (yawn). I want to tell all my brothers who died in Vietnam, and to all my brothers who came back. .....Semper Fi......Give me 10

I served with H&SCo, III MAF, Camp Horn, RVN from November 1968 to November 1969. I was a Sergeant and a Military Court Reporter. As I recall, a Colonel White was the CO of H&SCo when I got there and General Cushman was the CG III MAF. I retired from the USMC in February 1986 as a Mustang Captain. I do have some photos from my Vietnam tour and will dig them out of storage, digitize them, and email them to you. Semper Fi. Captain Burl D. Bolton, USMC (Ret.)

Welcome Home! I was at CIB from Sept. 1968 to Sept. 1969. I was the asst editor of the Sea Tiger until I left. It appears our times there overlapped for 2-3 months, but I'm sorry I can't remember you. I remember three Marines in the motor pool while I was there--the only name that comes to mind is Olin Baker. I can't remember when he rotated but he was from Denton, Texas. I sure would like to hear from some of the other guys at CIB.

Not sure I remember you but your name sounds familiar. I was looking thru some Nam era web sites and decided to do a search for our unit III MAF and low and behold yours came up. I took a look at the photos and boy did it bring back memories. I was also known as Mousey, but my real name is Herman. I went thru Boot Camp with Dave Gonzales and a few of the other guys that weere with us at Camp Horn in '68. Just wanted to say hey and welcome home. I went back to Nam in July 1970 thru Aug 1971 and served in the bush with both Bravo 1/5 and Charlie 1/1. Was way differant than DaNang that's for sure. Well anyways if you remember me drop me a line. I am now living in Phoenix, AZ and working for Goodrich Turbomnachinery Products as a manufacturing engineer. Semper Fi Marine!
