Thanks, Zark, I knew that was complete bull$#it. But then there's so much complete bull$#it posted these days, I wasn't going to bother to respond.
You know what they say, so much bull$#it, so little time........
I knew personally of three people who went to Fort Eustis when I worked on the SP LA Division. And, two of those, went to Nam, for RR security, working with the Vietnamese crews who operated the trains, in the 66-67 period. They told me that when they weren't actually being sniped at, often while having to provide security for re-railing a mined train, it was actually a pretty good posting, compared to having an 11 bravo MOS.
