I was at Phu Cat Mar. 68 to Mar. 69. 37th Transportation Sq. Kept as many of the vehicles on the road for all you guys as we could with having to go down to the scap yard and perform transplant surgery on most of the turcks that came in to the shop for maintinance. I spent most of my off time down at the tape lab copping music.

I was at Phu Cat from April 67 to April 68 with the 37th Security Police Sq.. Got there before there was even a runway just a short dirt strip for smaller cargo planes. Spent some long nights out on the perimiter but also took home some great memories By the time I leff the base had really grown and was still getting bigger.
