Was a young (is there any other kind?) Marine PFC deployed to Vietnam on the Ogden. Left San Diego in January, 1966 loaded with the First Field Artillery Group out of 29 Palms. Off-loaded parts of the group in Chu Lai and Da Nang in February, '66. Had heavy weather passing through the Phillipines. The Ogden was brand new, we were the first Marines to throw up in her campanionways. She was no rust bucket in those days.
Awesome videos, love them all...
