I think the only one on that list I remember for sure is LZ Blue, it
was hot going in and we named it mof__ker, but even that was done
later on, after Starlite was over.
In comparison, Helicopter Valley was so hot, we didn't pay any
attention to anyone elses names for the place. I got renamed Baby
Huey that day. I got real big time pissed off on that one and since
I am a big guy anyway, I tried to lift something by a combination of
swearing at it and tugging, shit flying all over the place and I
decide to get stubborn! It moved just enough to get the job done and
from then on till I rotated out they called me Baby Huey, forever
banishing my other nickname to the scrap heap of history.
Until that day, I was always known as Mojo.

The “written government record” reporting the locations of our units can be
very frustrating to those of us who were there and incorrect to the
unknowing. For example, Stanton’s “Vietnam Order of Battle” shows the 196th
LIB to have been at Chu Lai during the time I was a member of the 196th.
This is wrong as hell because they were on Hawk Hill for my entire tour.
These mistakes are self-propagating; the 196th LIB Association makes the
same mistake in their literature. I wrote them about the mistake and was
informed that they had used Stanton’s book and if I would do the research
they would change the mistake. Hell, I was there. What kind of research
can beat that? I was required to attend the 196th briefings when I was back
on the Hill, I saw everybody from the CO to the S5 and it looked like the
196th to me.

terrible places. I salute you and the many other good Doc’s I have been
fortunate enough to know.

I was in Vietnam from March 3, 1968 to March 3, 1969. I was in a unit
called GOER (Government Operational Experimental Research) Trans. I was
anywhere from just south central to just south (15 miles) of the DMZ in a
place called Utah Beach. I was in country about a month when our company
got there. When we got to Utah Beach everything (supplies) that came on
shore was just piled up as there wasn't any place to store it.
Chu Lai was just one of about 50 places I had been.
I'm also looking for the guys that was in this unit as it was the only one
of it's kind.
If you or anyone else that's reading this and have other friends that was
over in this God forsaken place please pass this on I'd like to hear from
them.
I'm also in a club called In-Country Vets Brotherhood here in Lakeland,
Florida. We have the largest traveling WALL that stands 8 1/2 feet high by
380 feet wide and it's 80% scale of the WALL in D.C. We just had it on
display here at Fantasy of Flight in Polk City, Florida for the Memorial Day
weekend.
In the next 2 weeks I'll be creating a Web site with the pictures I have
taken in VN of the guys that was there with me. I'll have a list of all the
places (most with pictures) I have been that I can remember. It's been 30
years last March, man haw time flies by.
Thanks,
Ray Ivey

It's a good list; however, it's missing quite a few names from the
III-Corps area around An Khe. I suppose it's tough to get them all
cataloged.
What was the *official* difference between an "LZ" and a "firebase"?
I'm going to guess that an LZ was a more permanent installation with
real shitters.

the fake airfields they'd build in England during WWII with the
aircraft painted on canvas on the ground. The idea was to confuse the
Russian satellites monitoring from orbit.
The big First Cav patch was there to communicate with space aliens.

big enough you could park a Chinook in...well a dozen or so with a few
Cranes sprinkled in for good measure. tinker toys all over the place.
the hill/mountain with the patch on it was demolished I think to make
gravel after the south caved in. I've heard that Tropo Hill in Pleiku
was leveled for agricultural purposes but more like to remove any hint
of what was the largest Tropo Scatter site in the world at the time.
my radio put out 1000 watts. the big boys were like 100Kw. I may not
have had any offspring due to us playing volley ball underneath one of
the feedhorns. I mean who's gonna pay attention to those silly Warning
Radiation signs???
