I was just on the Facebook Mac V site and Hugo Trux asked if anyone remembered any pets in the compound. On another note: I used to go out after having a couple drinks and do a Tarzan yell. Sometimes someone would yell one back. Did you ever hear that? Always wanted to get a pellet gun and plink them. Steve, I was there just after you had left. Now your talking. That would be great fun. Wish I was still there for that.
Did not spend much time in the compound my last 6 months. Most was in the bush by then. Early on, I could not believe how many would run around at night. There had to be hundreds if not thousands of them. I had hardly seen a rat before I arrived there. I was there in that sign hung over my bed. Have many pics of Bac Lieu compound and airfield, village and Can Tho from to including monkey, python that we scanned from slides.
Took a while but finally done how can I share the with you guys? Would love to see them. Not Part of Blog but I served in Bac Lieu as Signal support from late to April put a lot of calls home for many of the enlisted men and officers.
