I apologize if this message is a duplicate, as I goofed up when trying to send my first one....
I was the USAF Food Service Officer at Tan Son Nhut AB, RFV, from October 1968 - June, 1970. During the last few months of my extension, I flew with the Australian FAC's (Jade FAC, I believe was their call sign) out of Nui Dat. A great bunch of guys and I was very impressed with their mission. I was able to do this as part of a program for non-combat officers who wanted a taste of what it was to be in combat. I spent about a week with this detachment, and then on my final day with the group, we flew back to Saigon and “raided" my kitchen. We brought back steaks, chicken, dehydrated shrimp, beans (the works), and had a great feast before I returned. I will never forget the wonder of seeing these pilots dive down toward the jungle and fire their "Willie Peets?" [white phosphorus rockets) to mark the target for the jets circling overhead ready to drop their armaments. I will close by repeating what the Australian C.O. said to me when we arrived back at the camp with all of the chow:
"GOOD SHOW."

Excellent and informative. Col. Tom Price of Victorian Mounted Rifles a volunteer unit formed in 1885, was their Commanding Officer, when he introduced the hat with the brim looped up on the right side. This man was an ancester of mine.
