FOG SF History
 

I moved my comment's from the "WARTHOG" Thread.

Before there was an SF Branch we all had conventional Army MOS's with a "3" or "S".

I can only comment on the ARPAC side of the house. Various place's had a requirement for an


OPS/INTEL NCO. If they couldn't get that slot approved to the TO&E or TDA, with ARPAC approval they would pay the TDY for the 1st GP
to provide a man.

That's how I got sent to MAC-THAI in '66-'67. That was one of the most interesting trip's for me, I learned about all kind of stuff going on in SEA. Our boss was an AF LTC, he ask me one day why the CG and I had such long discussion's. He couldn't understand why a GO would want to talk to an EM. Rumor was CG had another job with a 3 letter outfit. :D

I learned about operations that were ongoing and probably didn't stop until '75.

BMT, you might know a PJ neighbor of mine. He was in SE Asia during that time, did a lot of recoveries out of Udorn and in Laos. Has known people at JUSMAG-Thai from way back then...
