Walked through the gate here on 21JAN1971 to begin my tour of duty with Delta Company.

My very first helicopter ride was aboard a CH-47 Chinook from FSB Mace to FSB Silver. Vividly remember the helicopter crew chief using a big bucket to catch a stream of hydraulic fluid leaking from the rear rotor assembly. He poured it back in after we landed. My introduction to the reality of war-zone maintenance!
