Subject: Dog Handler - Cam Rahn Bay 1965-66

Arrived Cam Rahn Bay Nov. 1965 - First permanent party dog handlers at the air base. Monsoons just started. Setup K-9 Section tents and kennels, then set up our tents. No shoulder weapons for a couple of weeks. Outer perimeter security with .38 revolver and 18 rds. ammo. Most had forbidden personal weapons that we taped up inside our dog's kennels.

We must have been on the same flight. Two C130's to Ton Son Nhut, and we split up there.>
