I understand from the Stetson ROTC Newsletter published by LTC (Ret) Oakland McCulloch that you are interested in Stetson ROTC graduates that served in Viet Nam. I was there from January 1966 to January 1967 and again from March 1970 to March 1971. Both tours were as an advisor in the Mekong Delta (IV Corps). I live in Phoenix, but still commute to the Jacksonville area frequently as my 92-year-old mother lives there. Understand that my experience was not with US combat units but rather with the advisory efforts to the Vietnamese at the district (RF\/PF levels) and division level (9th ARVN) in 1966 and as operations advisor Kien Hoa Province in 1970. (Interestingly, it took our leaders in Iraq and Afghanistan several years to remember\/revise these efforts).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3442,"template":"","vietnam_era_alum":[25],"class_list":["post-3215","vietnam_alumni","type-vietnam_alumni","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","vietnam_era_alum-alumni"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/vietnam-memorial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vietnam_alumni\/3215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/vietnam-memorial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vietnam_alumni"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/vietnam-memorial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/vietnam_alumni"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/vietnam-memorial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/vietnam-memorial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"vietnam_era_alum","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/vietnam-memorial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vietnam_era_alum?post=3215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
