@4543563 The tape was from the radio on Long Binh of an Army knock-off of a real song from the 60's...but I can't come up with the name or group... Maybe someone remembers and will let us know...

Wow. I just ran across this. I was at Long Binh Dec., 1969 to Feb 1971. I was a personnel clerk in Head Quarters Company. Attached to 56th APU. Your video really brings back memories.
Been down that road at 0:23 to 0:35 up to USRV many times 69-71 in a V17. Always had to down shift about half way up the hill. I think USRV aka "the house on the hill", is still there, but that is about all out on MacArthur Blvd. Thanks for the video, great work.
I was in long bing depot,miss my friends called the wild bunch,bill b,eddie c nerio g & mike co,clubing at night,and also bunker duty,miss my friends coe and phong.1970-71
This is really great 8 MM. You always had to down shift the Duce and a half to make it up to USARV. It is one of the few places that have not been torn down. "Yet". A pallet of Carling Black Label fell off a PX truck on this street. So it got winched on to one of our Duce and a halfs. (For safe keeping of course) The Mps never did find out where it went to. The party was great.
I MAY HAVE THIS ON A SOUND CLIP: In April, 1970, a battle-damaged F-4 fighter-bomber, returning from a reconnaissance mission to survey a road being built by the Chinese toward Burma in northwest Laos, crashed into the AFTN station, killing nine of the Air Force broadcasters. This incident was the single worst catastrophe in the history of military broadcasting.
great stuff very interesting i like stuff like this-i have During a disturbing report of North Koreans knocking an American soldier to the ground at P'anmunjóm, what one might wonder to be the North Vietnamese chiming in on the issue occurs, as a mighty crash as loud as anything that came out of Fibber McGee's closet completely disrupts this AFVN news announcer's broadcast. & The AFVN "Dawn Buster" starts off with a bang -- or, really, a crash. HAVE AUDIO CLIPS MYSELF
Interesting Video! My Daddy was stationed there in the year 1971. He has had a relationship with a Vietnamese Women - she gave me free for adoption after my birth 1972. I'm searching my American Daddy. May he is reading this: Daddy, I'm alive, I'm living in Switzerland, I'm married, mother of 2 small children. You're a grandpa now. I'm missing you, Daddy!
Love the audio. Brings back memories but I was at TSN and we had radio Saigon. Was with 377SPS L/E. Remember 100p alley TSN USO, Third Field Hospital, TuDo Street, plantation Rd, etc.
GREAT AUDIO! I remember those radio broadcasts well.
Where did you get the audio track? I recorded some music off of the Armed Forces Network with my portable cassette recorder in the hooch but my tapes degenerated (much like I have) after 3 and a half decades since Long Binh. Great footage too. Thanks
@tuutuutango I made a reel 2 reel back then. converted them to cassette in the 90's and digitized the mp3's a few years back. They make interesting background audio for the old 8mm movies. Olin
Wow what memories, i worked on the (hill) Army Headquarters, in Causality Med-Evac from June of 69 to June of 70. Does anyone remember a Sgt Teager, or Major Grimes?
Thanks for posting - the video brought back memories - I use to eat at that "Loon Foon" restaurant - shark fin soup and other goodies. I served in Long Binh in 1970 for the 327th signal corps - not too far from that new PX that they opened in 1970. I have some footage of the Bob Hope Show there as well as random stuff. I was lucky though because I did not have to serve a full year there - I got a 2 month early out - thank you Nixon
A real blast from the past. I, too, was a "combat typist" with USARENGRCOMDV in Long Binh from '71 to '72. This does bring back "hooch life." Thanks for posting.
I worked in USARENGRCOMDV personnel in 1971. Lived in HHC USARENGRCOMDV. CW4 Fender was our Personnel Officer. SFC Fudala, Specialists Knapp, Hamer, Olson worked with me. Any of this sound familiar?
Ah, yes USRV HQ. I Worked for the Engineer Command pushing a typewriter in the office that was planning projects to be built through the late 70's. Later transferred to AFVN. That M-60 announcement is me. The Chu Hoi Program was recorded by Phil Davies.
What's the song at the two minute mark, guys?
Thanks.
