we paved Hwy 1 and the road to Qui Nhon. When I got there, our homebase was nothing but tents and shacks. We built barracks for housing and supply room etc. We had lots of work which made time go faster.

It was quite an experince dodging bullets,land minds and ambush's,in a dunp truck,but I worked with some of the Army's finest men.I was lucky, my truck was hit one time,caught some shrapnel in my left knee in a ambush.I can't beleive its been almost 40 years.What bothers me to this day,is it was all for nothing.

By the end of Febuary I was transfered to a unit in Long Binh.

I went in country July 5 1970 and left July 4 1971. My first six months were spent in Qui Non. Then the last six months were in Da Nang. I volunteered for assignments outside of the compound regularly. I wish I could remember my partner in crime on those assignments. During the last last three months of my assignment all engeneer ballalions had been called back home. The companies left behind in Viet Nam were called United States Engeneer Command Viet Nam with a different patch.

Came to Fort Ord from AIT at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. Was assigned to the 84th Eng. Bn (Const) on or around Sept 1964. Helped pack up the Bn. For movement to Vietnam. Left port on or about 12 May 1965 and took 31 days to reach Vietnam. Lost 2 days in Guam to change ships due to breakdowns on the Eltinge. Loaded on to the Barnett for the remainder of the trip. Off loaded onto the beach in Gui Nohn harbor by the army LCM 1099 company on or about the 13th of June 1965. (29 days of being seasick took it's toll on me to say the least.) Set up base camp in the sand and proceed to take the top off the mountain to fill in the sand to build our base camp. Continued construction on new structure after quarters were built that was to be our EM club. After all the work, the 85th Med was to take over our compound because of the area being more secure and we moved our unit to Phu Thi valley and ran our operations from there. I was initially assigned as a rock crusher operator but was given the job as potable water truck driv

Arrived in A co. late in August of '69 at Tuy Hoa. After all of my heavy equipment maintenance training in AIT I was expecting to be a mechanic. The first question I was asked was 'can you type'. When I responded yes I became the new mailman/courier/training NCO and who knows what else. I remember that the guy who was doing that job was happy to see me. If I remember right it was sp/4 Hamblin. Moved north with the rest of the company to Quin Nhon. Would like to hear from any one I was lucky enough to serve with.

andrewimperato@yahoo.com  I arrived in country at Long Ben and subsequently transported to "A" Company 84th Engineers in Quinon. During which,I worked in the supply unit until the radio operator left. I volunteered to take the radio operator's job until one was obtained. It was several months later a radio operator joined the unit. At that time I went back to my old job. I also lived on the mountain for weeks on end. I also was involved in transports of equipment and supplies up to Danang Airfield. So much for being a Engineer Parts Supply Specialist, 76P20.
