I helped Muffet, Strickland build this club. I was the Ncoic of the Club and the Open Mess Supply Sgt. from Feb 1967 to Feb 1968. I was the one that hired the Waitress. Best job I ever had!!!

Like Steve, I vividly remember my first day in country. Also flew into Cam Rhan around 9 pm and had to wait for a flight to Happy Valley. My friend, Bruce, from Seattle (and Lowry) napped out on a picnic table at Cam Rhan waiting for the snack bar to re-open at midnight after a cleaning. I awoke to the strange sound of foreign voices and saw a group of Vietnamese (ARVN) troops standing around me. I thought I'd been captured already until I saw their US Army advisor nearby. Welcome to the Nam!

I also remember the weird french fries the snack bar made. Basically mashed potatoes, squeezed thru a can with square holes in it, then fried. Hey,it was the closest thing to FF's we were going to get!

One other memory most of us had on arrival, I'm sure - the rediculous heat and arriving in summer class A's! At 9pm, we're getting off the plane loosening our ties (nothing like wearing a suit to a combat zone) and old timers walking around with field jackets and flak vests, trying to stay warm. I left 10 months later around the same time at night and was one of those guys sitting in the MAC terminal wearing my field jacket with yellow VO short-timers ribbon attached chuckling at the newbies wiping the sweat from their eyes!
