I enlisted in the nave in 1968 so I would have a little control over where I ended up. As it happened 9 of the 13 in my class at engineman school went to Nam on the river boats. The other 4 of us went to Guantanamo Bay (GTMO). Most of the guys there hated the place as you couldn't get off base. I, on the other hand, thought it was a lot better than being a junior on a ship.I made third class before I got transfered to a ship and it was a lot easier that way. The ship was a small tanker and we went up and down the coast of Nam for 6 months pumping off fuel to small shore bases before the ship was transfered back to the Atlantic fleet where it had been "borrowed" brom some years before. A few months before I got to the ship, while it was anchored in DaNang harbor, enenmy swimmers planted a mine on it and blew a 4' square hole in the side. Lucky they picked a cargo hold or I wouldn't have had a ship to go to. They sent the ship to Subic Bay for repairs and that's where I picked it up. Talk about nervous. They had a sentry walking around and around the ship anytime it was at anchor and if he even thought he saw something over the side went the grenades. Like being in a barel and having someone hit it with a sledge hammer.
