I knew it had something to do with a cat. I got to VN June 7 67 and left June 8 68. Was initially assigned to A/1/5/ 1st Cav up in the Bong Son plains area and a few months later went TDY to Phan Rang and trained S Viet forces, the popular forces platoons and Regional Force companies in American weapons and tactics. It was the first phase of the so called 'Americanization' of Vietnam. I was downtown Phan Rang in civvies having lunch with the family of my interpreter at his house when the $hit hit the fan. No weapon in hand and about a mile from the compound, I think I set a new worlds record for completing the mile run. lol.
