5 April 1967

Another 0530 Brief for an L2P - indef hold
till 1000 for low East ground fog - Spent
most of the day reading orders and fixing
up the place - Snivel Sully's 0320 TPQ
Oshe's writing the Schedule [tonite?]
Notice in today - Picked up for Captain
effective ( April - A little paperwork
and I should have my bars.

Ted Kesky nominated for FAC [forward air controller] [?]
to replace Barney.

Got a roll of film back and as suspected
completely blank - didn’t advance properly.

PT program continues - new record -
two days in a row -

Dreamhouse 36 - Bruce Bunous (Capt)
Dreamhouse 35 - Dutch Shultze

USS Repose moored and anchored off
shore as Operation [Board?] continues - hope
they find those 140 mm rockets or we're in
for a bad time.

UHA (AU) 533 - started slow flight schedule
Radar Survey & [?].

6 Apr - 67

Spent the morning observing my helpers
in the club - Inventory & Accounting.
Afternoon on a DAS hop dropped
500# Daisy cutters on a village from
where the 140MM rockets were fired at
Danang about a month ago - with LTcol McGEE

It’s getting to be good WX again for
an attack - no moon and low clouds at
night

Mac returned from his Par trip - 5 days
late for his father’s funeral - probably won’t
go home now.

Rest of my clothing from my R&R arrived
also two tape recorders tape and film.

First swim since return - great
water and surf - my Sinus's all full -

6 in the hut now - Sammy Vaughn -
2/lt - Probably till we lose somebody and
we can get back to a comfortable 5 - or I’ll
move out.

SSGT Caldwell looks like replacement
for Sgt Campbell as my assistant in
the O-club.
