Message: I was assigned to the LTN Security Platoon. We guarded the gates and the entrance to the BOC during the day. We had to search all the Vietnamese day workers coming onto base in am and off in PM, keeping the rest f you guys safe during the day. We actually did find Hootch Maids etc. concealing grenades in their belongings, God only knows what they planned to do with them. Anyone with photos of LTN gates and or security guards, or the BOC, and the mess hall, I'd appreciate it. Also, anyone that may have brought home a roster of personnel that might include the security platoon, or a set of orders sending you to LTN on or about Dec. 11-14th 1970 with my name included on it I'd like to hear from you.Thanks

Tour_dates: Sept. '68 thru Aug. '69
DMOS: 67N20
Message: I arrived with the 303rd in Sept. of '68. We staged our buildup of personel and equipment as a unit at Fort Benning GA. Our company area was across the runway from the 210th's. We manned the "South Main Gate" (to Long Thanh Village) and several adjacent bunkers facing the Rubber Plantation. We had the flight line and old French hangar closest the South Main Gate. (Thanks to Wayne Nelson guest no.272 for the intro and location of our unit.) After several months of performing 1000 hr maintenance on Hugheys, Cobras, LOH's and as maintenance crew leader for awhile. I was sent to Long Bin with 4 others with the 67Z20 MOS for Heavy Repair on a CH54 Flying Crane tail# triple 4 that crashed. Spent last 4 months there working under a (GS13) Sikorsky engineer named Leslie Ware. After 3 mos TDY the others went back to LTN. We were asked to stay longer and it was at our discretion. I wanted to see the job finished so stayed. I will always remember the last days while 444 was doing the final runup and static tests when I got the notice of an 8 day drop and had to leave to process out to go home. I was offered E-6 and flight engineer position from the CO of the outfit for one more year in country with their unit. I was tempted but declined and left the country at 19 years old to finish my enlistment stateside. "So little time, so much to do and so much left undone". It was sickening to see all those A/C thrown off the ships and the fall of Saigon. What a learning experience for a ninteen year old. I am grateful to all those I met and served with who helped me learn the meaning of responsibility and honor.

Looked like it was going to be fun in Vietnam. Then the North Koreans seized the Pueblo and then the Tet offensive kept us on the berm for 3 solid days wondering if it was all over..I have tons of memories, glad to see some names in the comments. Paul Pilon and I spent our first night at LTN together. I remember Hlebek, Kowalski, Jim Berry, Jack Lynch, Richard Phillips, and Sgt. Willis. My youngest son married a Vietnamese girl who left VN in a boat and I now have a beautiful amerasian grandson. Seems like yesterday, and the day before. Sandbags, guard duty, and tons more. I finally stopped waking up realizing I had been reciting my serial number all night. I am glad I found this sight, might help me a lot. Thanks

Attended the St Louis reunion and had a great time. Good to visit with the people I knew back then and meet others that served there not just in the 210th but other units on LTN. These reunions bring a lot of closure for people that served in Vietnam so I recommend for anyone who has not attended one to do so. Its really a very rewarding experience.

I left with my aircraft and 5 others 15 minutes before deadline for troops to be out of country in Mar 73 with all 780 gear.  Went to Singapore and turned in all unit aircraft to Beechcraft over a 5 day period. then flew commercial home.  All crewchiefs and pilots at that time all came back to the world on same flight and we were the only ones on the flight.  Needless to say what shape we were in when we landed in Frisco.  "Longtrip" forever remembered.

Late in 71 or early in 72, all U21 support flying was consolidated with the CAC being the the sole unit for USARV/MACV with Dets at Da Nang and Nha Trang. A short time later, the CAC was moved from LTN to TSN, where I moved to in early 1972. Was a real joy flying the 21's and working with everyone in the 201st and CAC. CAC XO was Chuck Ledford, IPs Mike Patterson and Jack Sprague. Also Jerry Jenson, Jim Leathers, Bill Schweinfurt, Bob Kirksey, Dick Wire, Lynn Olson, Bolinger, Peterson and others that names now escape me. Maybe someone has a copy of the 71 - 72 yearbook to share. Great time, good memories. The most fun I ever had flying.

    Great memories. Since I've never met anyone who had heard of Long Thanh North, I was beginning to think I imagined the whole thing. Then I clicked on a picture of personnel and found myself surrounded by Horning, Kintz, Kayton, Kelly, Eggerichs, Sidera, Martinez and Shipley. Damn, we were young.
    Kelly and I were on the verge of a connection in 2000 but a hurricane wherre I live wiped out all my contacts for a while and I missed the connection. If you hear from him, tell him I'm still kicking.
    Now, I'm a musician on an island called Ambergris Caye, in Belize. Yeah, us Baby Boomers still know how to rock.

Seems like the NVA decided allot of the NLF had lost their usefulness.  Ironic isn,t it?  Great site. Thank You!

I remember my tour with a good deal of fondness. May sound strange, but as a Inf platoon leader in 65-66, CAC was heaven. Got rifed in 72 and joined the Guard. Couldn't make MAJ so became a CW-2.  Retired as a CW-4 in 2002; still a "bus driver", but in the C-12.
36 years flying in the Army isn't a bad draw!

Message: I got to Vietnam on orders for the 4th Inf.Div. at Pleiku but my brother was a member of the 125th ATC so I was reasigned at Long Beinh and joined the 210th while it was still in the old French Quarters at Ton su Nhuit. Did a lot,alot of sandbagging at Long Thaung North. The pictures I'm seeing on the web site look much more civilized than I remember the ole/new camp. I was sent to the 25th Evac Hosp. at Long Bein in late Aug. 68 with Hepatitis. From there I hit two more Hospitals and was discharged as a patient and from the Army on Nov.14, 1968. Anybody know where Sgt. John Martinez is or what happened to him?

Message: I never worked my MOS either but spent many a day building bunkers, stringing wire, and filing sand bags.  I did go out with the Civic Action group on our little missions to win hearts and minds to local vills.  Every time we got off the main road I believed we were going to be ambused. We got to some littl village just after the VC had blown up the school.  The local civilian defense people were terrified. It was nerve wracking and we all wanted to get the heck out of their as fast as we could get the supplies unloaded. I volunteered to fly but I failed the flight physical since my eyes were too bad. It was a long and boring tour and I have to say I don't miss it except some of the people I met.

I drove from (and back to) TSN to fix a new tactical cloud height indicator set and missed the turn to the base. I saw very interesting sights along the way ("funeral" processions), near the village (unit wanted to see if I would draw fire), and at LTN (such as the QT-2PC). I had a young troop with me that kept me guessing (and more concerned) than the enemy.

Hi:
I got to this site looking for information related to the Afgan situation.  It's great. A lot of menories came back after al these years, (34).  From 90th replacement I went on tho the 210th to replace the companys armorer who was leaving in december. The unit was in Saigon then. Eventualy I became the  companys armorer. I learned on the job. I remember a lot of the guys in the pictures.  I laughted  a lot when I saw Donovan.  He was the guy in permanent burning shit detail, cleaning all the letrines.  How can I forget the new showers? The water was warm during the early evening.  I have many photos, but tey are slides.  I havent seen them for many years.  I found a few photos and made some copies which I will mail to you.
Regards from sunny Puerto Rico....

(Long Thanh North)
I served in the battalion personnel office, as records clerk for the inlisted personnel from HCC, 25th, and 184th companies. In June of 71 the 210th stood down and everyone was reassigned. I stayed in Long Thanh as a garrison unit. I was assigned duties of taking care of civilian personnel, (houch maids, club girls, and messhall helpers) Tough job but someone had to do it.
I still remember playing numero uno during formation for guard duty. (one person got out of guard duty)It sure turned into a ritual getting ready for guard duty so you could get out of it.
I hope that some of the people that worked in the office and hung around together will drop a line. Great site keep up the good work.

Well, "Deros" and "Port Call" (our favorite dogs) seem to be ambling toward the Club, so I think I'll head there myself and chug a few beers with the other two "Musketeers" (Curry and Schreck) and on my way I'll write "FREE" on the envelope of this letter and get it over to Perkins in the mail room.

I worked on the engine crew with some great guys. I can remember some names like Petersen, Potter, a guy we called Pig Pen, and a lot of faces. There is one guy on the engine crew who was probably the senior mechanic and who taught me all I knew about PT-6 engines. He was on the net team when they moved from Siagon and I sure wish I could remember his name.
Does anyone remember the rubber tree counting detail? I participated in that venture.
Some might remember me as the guy who shot the hole through the roof of my hooch, including the light fixture. It was my first night and we had just had a rocket attack, so after we had returned into the hooch one of the guys knew I was spooked and yelled VC on the roof1 shoot quick! so I did and got two weeks of extra duty.
I could go on and on, but I want. Great to hear from fellow Long Thanh Warriors, Keep The Faith.

I remember him saying that he was at Long Thanh but before he left they moved to Long Binh. He never talked about his tour except for the pet dog, the mud he fell in, and the sun sets when flying. Just a side note; I retire next June after 20 yrs in Army aviation (Avionics guy) and the unit I have been in these last two years is HHC 1/210 Avn

Message: I would like to render a salute of respect and admiration to the men of the 210th CAB, Long Thanh North, South Vietnam. The support you provided kept the aircraft of a number of aviation companies in the air during the Vietnam War and if that wasn't enough, when you did receive some precious time off, many of you volunteered to fly as door gunners and co-pilots on combat assaults with the aviation outfits you supported! The men of the 210th CAB should be proud of what they achieved in South Vietnam, you are respected by the men of the companies you supported not only in the area of maintenance, but for your willingness to get into the battle on combat assault missions and your courage under fire! WELCOME HOME, BROTHERS and THANKS for a job DAMN WELL DONE!

I was with a neighboring unit, HHC 224th Aviation Bn, located at the NE corner of LTN (Bearcat end, rubber plantation side). I didn't have any friends at 210th, but spent many-a-night at your EM club. The pizzas were a great attraction, but the waitresses were better... Anyone out there have pictures of them? (NOT the PIZZAS... the GIRLS!!)
I recall the weirdness of watching a Filipino band playing rock-n-roll, our guns 'n gear stacked around their stage, the earth & club shaking as Thai howitzers blasted away next door. Wow! What a war!
Keep up the good work, Cowboy. And, if I may steal a few words from our old Vietnam buddy, Bob Hope, 'Thanks for the memories.'
