Comments on: Vietnam War Diary http://www.wilsons.id.au Postcards to our Friends Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:07:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: John Staring http://www.wilsons.id.au/?page_id=665&cpage=1#comment-1517 John Staring Sat, 17 Apr 2010 12:20:55 +0000 http://www.wilsons.id.au/?page_id=665#comment-1517 David, I have enjoyed immensely reading your transcripts. I too was a "nasho" but took the option of applying for SAS. There was two volunteer intakes of "nashos" who went through selection, which many, including other "nashos" have tried to refute. In a way I was lucky to miss out on Vietnam by only three weeks, but I certainly read, and was briefed by many as to what I had to look forward to had I in fact gone. I therefore found your diary very interesting for being some-one else's perspective of what they experienced on a day to day basis, as a member of another branch of the defence forces. Thank you for your efforts. To this time I have avoided "ex" associations, but your transcripts have inspired me to seek membership. Cheers, John Staring. David,

You didn't mention whereabouts your Uncle found the dog tags in Vietnam. The number is not an Australian number ( probably US) and my thinking that you have an American dog tag is supported by the religion being defined as 'Baptist' If this were an Australian dog tag, the religion would have been defined as 'OPD' or Other Protestant Denomination. I suggest that you make contact with one of the Vietnam Veterans Associations in the USA. David,
