US Army Security Agency - 1963 - 1967

Like my DD215 (a corrected 214) says,

"2 years 10 months 17 days USARPAC."

In other words, they ain't admitting where we were, when we were there, what we were going, or anything else. Suffice it to say that I got to see Korea, RVN (Saigon 64, DaNang, ChuLai, DucPho and Pleiku other times), Thailand, Taiwan, Japan (Drake), Okinawa (Kaedena and Sobe), and a little bit of other interesting points in the SEA area.
