Most were potheads, barrack fights, and/or petty crime. The dealers & sellers got time in LBJ before receiving dishonorables. They made them complete their "Tour"
Completely sold me on NEVER again accepting a staff assignment

Long Binh Jail lol.... 'hey, where'd you get those slippers' ...had a company clerk ( C Co,2/14th 25th ID) that had a pair...he supposedly cleaned up down there and the Company got him back but no... sent him back. How and where he got the hard stuff no idea. One of the local Viets I suspect. He wasn't a bad kid either...just got hooked smoking laced stuff.
He was the closest we got to knowing a REMF really...Co level guys that stayed in the rear..armorer/ etc. 1SG didn't stay in the field either...we had a Field First that was an SFC.
Top already had 3 tours tho so we got that...starting as a SSG. so he did literally years in the field.
I dream about that shit in my old age.
