1. A picture of Corporal, our hooch mascot, standing guard on the porch.  Corporal made a very effective watch dog.  People not belonging to our hooch never entered unannounced.
  The road leading towards the horizon led out the front gate of the base. On this road, behind the building was the Comm. Center, our Company Office and the Hospital.
  The road leading to the right went to the air tower.

2. Another picture of Corporal.  This time guarding our hooch from the hallway while catching a few zz's, rather than duty in the hot mid day sun.

5. I have no idea what this is.  It almost looks like the small hut that sold pizza and the MARS station across from it?

6. A picture from the hooch porch, facing in the opposite direction than the picture of Corporal.  The guard bunker on the perimeter behind the pole is where Joe nursed an M-16, M-60 and M-79 a few nights. The Mess Hall was in this direction, about a block away. Photo by: Rick Stayner 1972-73

7. Another picture of the Air Tower, along the side of our hooch.

8. A picture of the children at the front gate.  If they had work permits, they would gather outside the gate and beg, fight and crawl over each other to gain a daily work detail to police areas, cut grass and etc. for very little money and food. Photo by: Rick Stayner 1972-73

9. Another picture of the children.   The type of scene that still wrenches my heart, makes me angry that we could not do more for them, and brings tears to my eyes when I remember.
  Yes, the older street wise ones could slit your pocket with a razor so the change would fall on the ground and the group would grab it and run.  And yes they were masters at slitting a  watch band to steal your watch, and you would never feel it.   But that was what they had to do in order to survive.

 10. A picture of the TV relay tower and Calibration van.  The Comm. Center was on the other side of this building.

11. Another picture of the TV tower and Calibration vans.  From the angle of the shot, it seems to be from the same porch area of our hooch porch.

 12. Our Company truck.  Rick and Hart drove this quite a bit.  There was a deuce and a half too, that I remember riding guard on a few times for hand carrying message traffic to the compound down town.

13. Looking over the roof of the latrine, you can see the corner of our hooch, guard bunker and the Cal. van.

  14. A closer shot of the same guard bunker and perimeter, but the shot seems to be from our hooch.  I think Rick said he pulled guard duty in this bunker a few nights.

15. Guard towers and the bunker I pulled duty in a few times again.  The shot seems to be from our hooch area with a pan to the left of about 90 degrees from the picture above.

19. This was our hooch Mamasan, she kept our hooch clean, washed and ironed out clothes and was one of the hardest working people I have ever known.   She was one of the few Vietnamese Corporal would allow into the hooch. God bless you Mamasan, I hope you are doing well! Photo by: Rick Stayner 1972-73

20. This was a Company R&R cookout and party.

25. The 52nd Signal Bn area 1969.  From the view, this shot is looking towards the tower by the Comm center and at the corner hooch where Joe stayed in 1972.  In 1972 the Mess hall would be behind you. Photo by: Phillip Tyson,

31. 1972  The "Great Barracks Fire". I think it took place around Feb. of `72 but I'm not certain. Jim Miller is checking out the aftermath. The look on his face says it all! Most of us lost everything we had that day!
