Pictures taken by John Mullaney while he was in
South Korea
and South Vietnam during 1965 ~ 1966
John was assigned to the 4th DASF.
While in South Vietnam I flew in the O1E Lil
Brenner.
I was Ragged Scooper 72mike with the 2nd regiment ROK Tiger division.
I took part in 2 search assault operations with a
battalion of
ROK Tiger division troops. One assault was with US Marine helicopters
for insertion. This was a large air assault.
Loved Korea. Trained with with US Army units in
South Korea.
Enjoyed the training near the DMV directing F105 mock air strikes.
Hated Vietnam having to live off "C" rations was no fun!
