I was at Trung Lap with my Battalion (43rd BDQ) in the Fall of 1966. We were upgrading from our World War II vintage equipment. Actually had my CIB pinned on by the Senior Advisor. Have a few pictures of the area and the staff. A great bunch. Many of the officers were Aggies.
Hey David, I was the radio operator at trung lap the year of 1966. The previous year I was the radio operator for the 30th ranger battalion (bdq). I’m new to this site so hit me up if you’re still here. Sgt. Charlie Stoothoff.
David, I was the base radio operator at the same time you were there. I was with the 30th (BDQ) for the year before.
My name is Richard Carey. I was 19 years old when assigned to Advisory Team 77 in 1963-64. a Ranger Training Center. My first assignment in Vietnam was in the MAAG com center in Cholon,a suburb of Saigon before being transferred to Trung Hoa / Trung Lap. I was with the Team when Sgt W. Dunlap was KIA during an ambush while on a recon training exercise, and I remember that afterward, we had built a memorial to him in the compound. I still remember Sgt. Dupree a Medic, Sgt. Schober, Sgt Ames and Sgt Yont, as well as our CO; Major Ludwig Faistenhammer, Jr, It’s amazing how I can remember this more than 50 years later, that’s how much things impacted me back then. I did not know it then, but the time I spent with these men and those who I can’t remember, was a maturing experience that has impacted my entire life. God bless all of the men I served with over there.
