I transferred to DaNang from Cam Ranh in Apr 70. I remember our Sq Commander was LTC Hogan; we called ourselves "Hogan's Heroes".

I arrived in July '67 just after the rocket attack that really tore up the base. First stop was in the old tent barracks on the North part of the base and then to the South end in GunFighter Village. Tet of '68 was a real wake up call.
Could Not Post on the 366 MMS Message Board so: Where Bush Got His Marching Orders: "One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." - President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998 "If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." - President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998 "Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face." - Madeline Albright, Feb. 18, 1998 "He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983." - Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb., 18, 1998 "We urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." - Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin (D-MI), Tom Daschle (D-SD), John Kerry ( D - MA), and others Oct. 9, 1998 "Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." - Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998 "Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies." - Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999 "There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has invigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." - Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, December 5, 2001 "We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them." - Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002 "We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002 "Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002 "We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." - Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002 "The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..." - Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002 "I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force-- if necessary-- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." - Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002 "There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction." - Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct. 10, 2002 "He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do." - Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002 "In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapon stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." - Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct. 10, 2002 "We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction." - Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002 "Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation .. And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real." - Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003 SO NOW THESE SAME DEMOCRATS SAY PRESIDENT BUSH LIED, THAT THERE NEVER WERE ANY WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, AND THAT HE TOOK US TO WAR UNNECESSARILY. TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PRESIDENT LEADING US TO WAR.
neat sight keep up the good work. have only been in touch with one guy from Danang and that is Steve Marlovits. I am planning on going to the reunion in Dayton ,hope to see you there.
loaded bombs all during 1970. was there when c-121 crashed thru flight line.
Great sight, proud to be part of the 366th
Filled napalm tanks before we got the pre-filled. Lived in tent city, then moved to the barracks across from the fuel bladder.
This is a great site! I see crazy Ed Burchard has found it. Remember Rich Marchese, too. My nickname there was "Bear". This was my 2nd tour, having been at Tuy Hoa May 69 to Oct 70. Hope to hear from anyone who remembers me, or who wants to talk about old times. Welcome home, brothers!
Most of my tour was loading bombs of F4s for the Gunfighter Sqnds. My last couple of months I worked in the Gun Shop for a month and then transfered to the bomb dump where I preped the Mers and Ters. Me and a young Vietnamese boy from Dong Ha were the only ones working this station.
What a ride...sure as heck grew up there. Glad I made it back,left all the sleepless nights behind.
Was in maint.flight line. Hope to find old crew 27th FIS. It's been a long time. Lost contact with everyone. Hope to find some of you.
Great site . I hope to make contact with a whole bunch of guys that I served with .
I was with the 366th security police and worked by whole tour at the off base bomb dump on the mid shift. Would like to hear from anyone who new any security police at the dump from 9-69 9-70.
Miss all the guys...have kept in touch with a few..if any of you out remeber me ,I would love to hear from you.
Was in 20th TASS when it was down sized. I was reassigned as NCOIC of the 366 MMS Orderly Room.
There's a lot of old memories here. Good to hear so many of us are still around. The CC's name, in the summer of 67, that someone is looking for was LTC Robert Dunphy (spelling ???)
Was a Gunfighter at Tahkli from mid 72 through base closure. Great team.
It was great to visit this web site, and remember the "Good Old Days". A lot of what I saw and read had changed, but some things were still the same, and it was good to revisit the 366th again. Thanks
27FIS, 366MMS, 49FIS, 60FIS, and back to Lowry Maintenance in 1972. Oh, by the way...There WERE no Bullpups in SE Asia according to 7th AF..(But we built up a thousand "whatevers" and had a celebration anyway!)
I'm trying to find a couple people that I served with, any help would be appreciated; Bob Hilton, Tom Carr and Barney Ashworth.
01/23/69, N Korea took the Pueblo, made for some excitement. Sgt Bob Joy was a friend, He died the day several of us were sent to Phucat.
Came to Danang with the 4th TFW from Eglin AFB. Transferred to Phu Cat in July '69. Crew members were Skip Pruitte #2, Mickey Brutto #3, and Paul Larson #4.
would be great to hear from anyone in either time frame
Being in a civil engineering sqaudron, we fixed the runway after rocket attacks numerous times.
Great site, worked with a lot of the MMS folks, you'll were a lot of help assisting on bomb release problems
Lived in tent city until last three days on base. Went back to the great USA and became a civilian the next day! If I had it to do all over again I would have stayed in the USAF.
Great site guys! We were not that far from each other, and looks like the daily events were the same. We however did have "Atlantic City of the South China Sea". Look forward to talking to you guys as we plan a return trip to Vietnam in August 2004, a all VN Vets are welcome! http://journals.aol.com/maxatmaxfacts/MADMAXANDHISMAXPICS
