Thank you for calling the Australian Army.
I'm sorry, but all of our units are out, at the moment, or are otherwise engaged.

Please leave a message with; your country's name, name of organisation, the region, the specific crisis, and a number at which we can get back to you.

As soon as we have sorted out; Timor, Iraq, Afganistan, Solomon Is, Bougainville, Cook Island, patrolling the 'Top End',  the search for illegal immigrants and intruders into our Economic Exclusion Zone, cleaning up after cyclones, helping Tsunami victims,  building memorials at Bali, putting out bushfires, etc, our Government will happily task us to do the really hard jobs.


Greetings Robert,

  Mate, can you put out an A.P.B. (All Points Bulletin) on the whereabouts of one David William REDMOND.
(aka. "Deputy Dawg")

He was originally a DI at Edinburgh and later completed the ADG conversion course.
Dave was in Vietnam with 1 OSU. so someone from that era may know of his present location.

Gooday Pom.

I am sending this email in the hope that some Adgies may recall the rocket and recoilless rifle rounds that were fired at Vung Tau airfield  in early 1968.  This information is required to assist one of our RAAF veterans who is getting the run around from Veteran affairs.

Should any of our members  be prepared to assist could they email Geoff Raymond of the Blue Mountains  Vietnam Veterans Association on
geoffnjan@weatnet.com.au

Thanks fellas JR.

       Went to the T.P.I units in Wahgunyah Victoria (on the Mighty Murray
River) and ran into Gerry Mapstone and his wife who were there for a bit of
time out from Canberra,so we did the right thing and went out for lunch at
one of the local Hotel's. Was good to catch up with him again. These units are
avail to all T.P.I's across Australia being yet another way of having a
cheap Holiday. We also have units in Rye ( seaside).

Hello There,

My name is George Brown , I was in the USAF fro 23yrs before retiring. I was at Phan Rang AB Apr 67 - Apr 68. I was assigned to the 35 SPS there. At this time I have decided to write my autobiography and at present I am constructing my chapters on Viet Nam and Phan Rang.

As I try to recall the security post there I remember that there were sectors as you mention, I would love to have a map showing that information, if you have it available.

Also looking for pictures of the convoy route between Phan Rang and Cam Ranh Bay, I did one convoy once it was something again.

I had found a site with some pictures but did not book mark it along the way. Any help in that area would be appreciated.

Thank You

GTB  - USAF Ret

If you have something that may help George out then please contact him.
