I joined the 31st Infantry at Ft Rucker in Aug 1962 at
the A.C.R. Co. (test). Later it was changed to B
Trp 3/17 Cav and was sent to Ft. Benning to the 11th Air
Assault Div. (test), then changed to B Troop 1/9 Cav.
We went to Vietnam on Spec. Order 366 Para.TC 014
dtd 1 Aug 1965. I left Nam on 10 Aug 66. (I have
Orders to all this.) That makes me from 1963 to
1966. I was really in the same outfit from '62 to
'66, over 48 months. "
