- Proud to be a "Dogman" -- Chuck Collins, Phu-Cat AB ("Mature Reflections of South East Asia), 22:25:42 09/14/14 SunPDT (73.53.93.46)
After 45 years you'd think these memories from being in Vietnam would subside but they only seem to amplify. We all remember going to the kennels every night in the pounding monsoon rain, getting our weapons, flares, C-Rations and worthless radios; Guard Mount and loading into the trucks every night getting posted. Here I am on Kilo 10 Alpha outside the wire patrolling for local Viet Cong. I remember a sense of terror sifting through the elephant grass with Selig pulling me all night! But, I also felt safe, confident and ready full well knowing that the Sappers probing the perimeter were very aware and afraid of the dogs attacking them. Dogmen had to have an "attitude" and we did. We knew the base would always be safe with dog teams on the perimeter. I loved being a dogman!

- Pleiku AFB-633rd-Yep the memories are still there....'67-68 -- Dom Cruz, 19:07:50 11/20/07 TuePST (12.75.136.91)
I was in Pleiku 67-68. Had a fine "four footed radar" courtesy of Uncle Sammy, Chief was the name. One handsome German shepherd - seemed the only K9 he got along with was Penny. I still remember some of the other K9 like Rebel, Putzi, Duke, Dixie, Rex, and others. Troopers all. As handlers we had a comradeship all our own. An example of this is when we were visited by several Army dog handlers fresh from the field. They made it straight to our barracks for a bunk, a long card game and of course some new leashes for the K9. One of the Army dogs in particular was a black lab. Friendly as can be and could alert like crazy. Yep, the memories are still there. God Bless you all.

I am looking for former Sentry Dog Handlers. I handled Tojo while assigned to the 6313th APSq on Kadena AB, Okinawa. The kennels were at Bishigawa and we guarded the ammo dumps. There are many MWD sites but no Sentry Dog Handlers site. I would like for someone to correct this situation. I would like to hear from any SDH's who were at Kadena in the time period of 61-63.

If you are talking about the fire fight that occurred at the "Wells" down by the river where the pumps were in Feb-March 1969. I was one of four SP's, SSgt and team leader at the time, and one CE troop. We lost the front bunker, Two SP's wounded, which the CE troop cared for in the bottom of the back bunker. We had been out there at night for most of the week. Mostly very quiet. Night before exchanged light gun fire with unknown size unit and the base got some action. Got out to the wells that night and the old man we had befriended, most cigarette and C-rations, in the house next to us told me that he and his family were leaving. Kept telling me #10, VC coming. Called Donnie up on the hill and he called back and said you got a bad intel report, get ready for company. Donnie, set it up so I could talk with the C-119, using my DOB plus some numbers, that flew cover for us. Since I shot out the perimeter lights, CE troop would not expose himself to cut them off. That also made the commander happy with me. I marked our position for the C-119 with a red lens we had with those old GI green flashlights. There was a QRT was set up to come bail us out but I elected to wave them off concerned about a road ambush at the time. Later, I was proven to be right. I want to say that the commander was a Major Brown, Captain Wright was there and he had ordered us into the bottom of the new bunker Red Horse had built. But the bunker had a blind side on the back so the two of us declined his instructions fearing the worst. Just for the record, a few years ago I met one of the Red Horse troops that built that bunker, He had the photos of the bunker to include a photo of the burned mark and were my helmet was. his son and I were deputy sheriffs together. The closest mortar team also supported us firing flare rounds beyond their range and that's another story. Major had a few unkind words for me later that morning, lol, but overall was pleased with the outcome. That old man and Donnie saved our butts that night. I was a SSgt at the time and usually worked the Echo, Delta or Wells. The guys assigned to my crew often referred to me "As The Marshal of The OK Corral". Hope this answers a few of your questions.
Take Care, Ward

- K9 Partner -- Chaplain Steve, 19:28:29 04/19/17 WedPDT (99.176.22.218)
Our K9 Partner In Vietnam
He was born for the task of detection.
He was also born for the task of protection.
As soon as the collar and leash were in place
This Wardog put on his game face.
With him it's all business till dawn.
Looking for bad guys till they are all gone.
He lives just to please you.
He lives just to protect you.
He's good and he knows it.
He's good and he shows it.
Every night!
It matters not if he's not been tested for weeks.
The fact that it could happen is what he seeks.
They like we are happy at the end of the night.
And the kennel once again is a welcome sight.
For both of us!
He is willing to lay down his life for mine.
That was and is a very rare trait to find.
His loyalty was constant and true.
He is worthy of all glory and praise he is due.
I have been asked before.
Did you loose any friends in the war?
I know what they mean and I still say yes.
My closest friend. He was the best.
His loyalty by the government was rewarded.
Betrayal is what he was afforded.
They were labeled equipment and then put down.
Their remains were never found.
( They were not found because they were never looked for.)
Their love did not die for we still speak of it.

I USED TO HANDLE THE SOUTH SIDE NEAR WASTE POOL AND STRIP GATE. WE GOT HIT A FEW TIMES. THEY TRIED TO TAKE OUT THE POL TANK FARM BUT DID NOT. I HAD A CAPTURED 82MM MORTAR TUBE FIRING 81MM SHELLS. THE AUSSIES USED TO GO OUT AT NIGHT AND MOVE AROUND THE PERIMETER. ONE NIGHT A PIT VIPER GOT UNDER ONE OF THEIR BLOUSE. EVERYONE HAD HIM THEIR PRAYERS. HIS BUDDIES CUT BOTH SIDES OF HIS BLOUSE TO GET THE SNAKE OFF. I WAS ALSO THEIR WHEN THEY HIT THE WELL AND SHOT ONE OF OUR GUYS. AS THE WELL WAS ABOUT A MILE OUTSIDE THE BASE, WE HAD TO GO THRU THE STRIP TO GET TO THE SP'S ON DUTY. I MOSTLY REMEMBER WHEN I WAS RELIEVED AND WAITING FOR DEROS. THIS NITE I AM LYING IN MY BUNK AND THE BASE SIREN AWAKENS ME. WE ARE UNDER ATTACK. I HAD NO JACKET BUT FOUND A HELMET. RAN OUTSIDE TO SEE EXPLOSIONS ON NUI DAT (MOUNTAIN IN MIDDLE OF BASE) ALTERNATE CSC WAS ATOP THE MOUNTAIN. AND THEY WERE WALKING ROCKETS UP THE SIDE. WE KILLED ABOUT 15 ATTACKERS. ONE OF THE HANDLERS WHO WAS SUPPOSE TO LEAVE WITH ME WAS HIT I AM TOLD IN A VERY PRIVATE PLACE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME I HAD EXPLOSIONS COMING AT ME. WHEN I WAS ON HEAVY WEAPONS, THEY TRIED TO HIT THE BUNKER WE USED CALLED KHE SAHN (?) IT WAS FULL OF WP AND HIGH EXPLOSIVES. I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU HOW WE FELT AT THAT TIME DO I? I WENT TO THE FLIGHT COMMANDER AND ASK PERMISSION TO GO OUT ON DUTY UNTIL I GOT READY TO LEAVE. CHECKED OUT #96 AND WENT BACK OUT THERE. I WAS NOT GONNA BE SUPRISED AGAIN. TO THIS DAY I STILL GET ANXIIOUS WHEN I HEAR AN EXPLOSION OF SORTS. I THANK GOD THAT I GOT OUTTA THERE SAFELY. THE K9 SECTION WAS ACES WITH ME.
I ENDED UP AT LANGLEY AFB. (TAC HQ) ALMOST WISHED I WAS BACK IN SAC (BEALE AFB)

- MWD Film Research -- Jaime Rodriguez, 13:57:46 08/11/16 ThuPDT (206.71.252.10)
Hello,
I am a military vet from Texas, now living in NYC. I am contacting you today because I am currently doing research for a film I am writing on MWD's. I was wondering if you could help a fellow Navy Vet get in touch with some handlers I could interview. Basically the Interviews would consist of personal question about the relationship between K9 and handler, as well as , questions about the dogs personality. at the same as well I'd also like to stay in contact to eventually see If I could Interview someone at this non-profit about the MWD's they have and their stories. Any help would be great and please feel free to email me at Jaimer@jigsawprods.com. Thank you and enjoy your day.
Respectfully,
Jaime Rodriguez

>>I was at Phan Rang '70 - '71 but I was not a dog handler. I was on Tiger Flight the whole time I was there. I knew a guy in Basic whose name is Frank Venegas. He eventually became a dog handler and was at Phan Rang. I was at Tuy Hoa first, then got transferred to Phan Rang. For about a month after I got to Phan Rang I worked with some guys doing repairs on the fence line. We sprayed Agent Orange and got soaked with it. Upon returning to the states, my health problems began. In September 2012 I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and have been on chemo about 3 years. Then I was diagnosed with Atherosclerosis and had to have 3 stents put in my coronary artery. They say I have the following: Multiple Myeloma, Atherosclerosis, Aortic Root Aneurysm, Peripheral Neuropathy and Lymph Edema. I am 100% disabled. I was going to file an Agent Orange claim and was told by the VFW Rep that I was not getting another dime from the VA no matter what kind of disease I have. I am going now. God Bless all you guys and have a great day.

- TOUR OF DUTY 1968-69 UDORN THAILAND -- Milt, 18:16:24 03/22/16 TuePDT (71.82.231.155)
Yes, I remember that flight from Texas to Udorn, 18 hours, 58 dogs, a bull, and too many people in very uncomfortable jump seats. That was half a century and half a word ago.
Some memories are vivid – some not so much. I have forgotten some of the names of the people we worked with. I remember Stephen Britt, and Dave Knight, and a few others, and you.
The Kennels were so new that I don’t think the cement was fully dry; and the people in charge didn’t know how to use us properly. That all changed after that attack in July - then all those nights, all those long hours on the perimeter. The two ammo dumps they had carved out of the jungle; one lit up like a football stadium and the other with no lights to speak of – I never did understand that unless it was some misguided attempt to hide and all those barrels of stuff.
You of course remember the barracks, the house girls, that nasty shower, dinking Coors while watching Star Trek on base TV, and how about that outdoor theater with all the lizards running around on the screen? Getting Thai food, warped in a leaf and delivered on post for 1 baht – it was that, or green eggs and C-rats.
There is so much I have forgotten and so many rich memories. Many times I wish I had stayed longer. I hope you are doing well and your life after the Air Force was/is good.
It is nice to know that some of us are still around, and some of us remember.
Milt

I am amazed that I get so stirred up with the news from Middle East conflict where I simply can not relate to in any way! Alphabet names with 45 letters that all sound like a bad dream press on my misunderstood mind. I talk to vets who served there and mention Vietnam and they all say the lessons from that war were being used also today. Interesting to me going from jungle to desert. As we all learned quickly from Vietnam was to listen to the 'old guys' and be very smart about all your movements on perimeter posts at night. It was the hardest thing I ever loved to do - patrol and secure my post. Today I am very quiet and rarely ever talk about my tour of duty except to other veterans; otherwise you get the 'blank stare' from civilians. They just don't know.

Are you a Vietnam Vet dog handler? Do you want to know what happened to your dog?
The VDHA has access to some information about dogs that served in Vietnam. Compiled by Dr. Howard Hayes, these records are a result of his painstaking research into the affect Agent Orange had our dogs. A result of his research is a pretty accurate list of dogs, their brand number, unit and the dispositon of the dog.
So, if you're were a dog handler in Vietnam and would like to know what happened to your dog, e-mail me and we'll look it up for you. If you served after 1968 we have about a 90% chance of finding the info. Prior to that the records were, well, let's say they were not that good, maybe 50%.

- FEED THE DAWGS -- Jon Hemp (Steaks for Frontline Handlers), 15:27:51 12/17/14 WedPST (108.0.68.170)
The Dawgs Project has put a wrap on the 2014 calendar - our sixth year. We maintain our mission of 1) steak barbecues for dog handlers and family members at their kennels, 2) promoting the history and tradition of Military K9 - Dawgs Of War Exhibit, Camp Pendleton (CA), and 3) goodie paks for deployed dog handlers, veterinarians, and Tangos in the AO and at remote bases globally. Please accept a major and personal shout out if you're among the Old Dawgs that have helped us maintain operations. The 2015 calendar is posted at our web site - <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.thedawgsproject.com.">http://www.thedawgsproject.com.</a>

My name is Robert Deyo Jr.my dad who passed away two years to the day served in the 820th in 1960-62. He told me about being stationed in the old Japanese prison and about the time they used the dogs to find a tunnel some Koreans were using to break into the PX. I have a ton of photos and slide of guys in the outfit maybe you are in them?

Hi, I wonder if you remember my friend who was there in '80. Sue Rowe then got married to Daniel Braun. Do you remember her or know what happened to her?
I am trying to get a K9 handler memorial proposal for the Veterans Park.
Thanks.
