Det 1, 3rd RRU, Nha Trang, Rep of Vietnam
"Det. 1 of the 3rd RRU was in Nha Trang, Vietnam in 1962. It was open approximately Nov 1961 thru June 1962, when it was given to ARVN. Sgt. Hudson stayed on as an advisor to ARVN and the rest of us went back to Saigon for reassignment. Most of the guys went to Thailand, some went home.
I stayed in Saigon and worked with the Airborne DF (ARDF) till the end of November 1962. When I went home on leave & reassignment to Fort Devans."
