I was a handler during the 68-69 time. I do not remember a bull but I know the building was new and we were some of the first to use it. I remember the mad barber that would skin a dog for a hot spot. I remember that we were giving our dogs a special med on there food to see what effect it had on heart worm and other things. A couple of dogs got heart worms and had to be give the big purple pill. We also had our blood taken every other month to see if we could get anything from our dogs. This was all experimental and we volunteried.

was stationed at udorn dec 68 to dec 69. dental tech at the 432 hospital. i assisted dr spinelli and the vetanarian on a root canal filling on one of the patrol dogs. his handler brought him to the dental clinic where the vet put him out and we put him on a table and perfomed the procedure. i don't know if that had ever been done before but they said he was such a great dog that they wanted to try to save the tooth, or he'd have to be put down. the handlers said he was the biggest dog at udorn at that time. got to visit the kennels shotly after that but didn't feel welcome. those dogs weren't the least bit freindly to strangers. got to meet alot of you guys at the airmens club. i was working as bar cashier on the midnight to 0700 shift 3 or 4 nights a week. discovered your sight while trying to get info on AOin thailand. have diabetes II and several other symptoms . just filed claim with va 3 days ago. last two months at udorn i started waking up in the mornings with large swollen itchy patches all over my body. doctors didn't know what was causing it. they just gave me benedryl to make it go away when ever it happened. i had to use these downers almost every day until about a month after retuning home. never have had reoccurance.

>I was stationed at Udorn from jan 68 to jan 69 with the 432nd Security Police Sq. I was the Law Enforcement Desk Sgt and Alt. Com/Plotter working Tiger Flight. Met some Handlers and talked via radio with most if not all. I remember the brass had handlers with their dogs patrolling sensitive areas like the scrap heap until we were attacked by the Sappers. Then everyone was wondering why dogs and handlers weren't patrolling the perimeter. I guess they finally realized that it was a war zone. I'm sorry but I never heard of a bull being sent to the King. Maybe after I left?
