The R&R (rest and relaxation) facility at Vung Tau. This was a beautiful location on the beach and a nice
spot for that 3 day getaway. The guys were lucky to have 3 day breaks. Danang offered China Beach. Out
of country you could visit Hong Kong, Hawaii, Australia, Taipei, Manila, Singapore, Kuala Lampur,
Panang, Bangkok and Japan. LTC Jack Hill 18th MP BDE CO, greets Hank Snow and his band.

I stepped under a tent stake while with the 1st Infantry Division. The gash got infected and I had to have my big toe nail removed. Tom Likely decided
now was the time to have a boxing match. It was refereed by PFC Helmicki. The match was one-sided, winner not to be disclosed. This was at our
"barracks" at Long Binh with the 552nd MP Company. Michael Much on the M60, Big Red One MPs, and today. Below, 1st Inf. Div. MPs Michael
Much and Phil Wiechman at Lai Khe.

Curfew was typical throughout Vietnam where nothing moved on the streets during these hours except the MPs, and National Police Officers.
Graveyard shift was a very eerie feeling in the towns that bustled during the day and were dead still at night. Just imagine a city as big as Saigon
with a couple million people milling about during the day and only a handful of men allowed on the streets during curfew. Very eerie, indeed.

Remember to twang!
