National Security & Defense

When I was assigned there in 1971 l, after a year serving in SE Asia, I immediately applied to be sent back. Other Vietnam veterans whom I met there also volunteered to be reassigned back to Vietnam to avoid the Texas boredom of having nothing to do in a “warehouse” of daily monotony. It was an unexpected surprise to see them again in the Oakland Overseas Replacement Station when we met a year later, waiting ti be discharged to civilian life again and on with our lives.
