@bohdi316 Back then,they don't know how to clean their M16 because that's an automatic...

These are the lyrics I figured out:
Woke/ride up this side today, to make all the/our ****, but there are moments sad/said, **** ride/right away, nows your chance to travel, pick a place and school you want, but theres **** ****, with your record ****.
The star sections are where I couldn't understand the words at all.

Hey uploader! Great job on this!
I'm surprised how clear the audio turned out.

You're kidding? xD.

That's right, you are in the Nam and you need a radio show to tell you to learn how to clean your weapon. Little late .

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.
What's the song at the two minute mark, guys?
Thanks.

@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...

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
