Overview

This book is an autobiography of my Vietnam War experiences from November, 1970 to October, 1971. I was stationed for 10 months on Hon Tre Island off the Nha Trang city mainland and the rest of my tour at Cam Ranh Bay Air Base. As an Officer and Weapons Controller/Director, I was responsible for guiding pilots of U.S. aircraft to and from their battle and reconnaissance missions using radar equipment. I was also a Pay Officer for the base camp consisting of other officers and enlisted men who supported our mission. This required a monthly drive by jeep to Cam Ranh Air Base to pick up and bring back pay for the men. Often boring, often stressful, sometimes terrifying, and sometimes fun and games, this is what I did in the Vietnam War.
