Chu Lai ASRT - Jim Allen







I will work on putting something together.  Most of my pictures are on slides and I have wanted to have them digitized so maybe this will encourage me to get it done.  I do have two photo taken in Chu lai.


The first picture was taken when there were some rockets fire near by the squadrons compound.  That is Dick Ebert sitting in the chair and Chu Lai ASRT in the background.

The second picture was taken on Christmas day 1968  From left to right is Rob Merryman (supply officer), Dick Ebert (controller & OIC Chu Lai ASRT), me (controller), Name? (communications officer) & Hodges? (S-1)

Thanks for adding me to the list.

Jim Allen

Please join in welcoming another MASS-3 Marine back to the Squadron.


I just came across the MASS-3 Vietnam blog this afternoon.  I joined MASS-3 in July of 1968 and rotated out of VN in August 1969. I was first assigned to the Da Nang ASRT.  My next move was to the Chu Lai ASRT.  I became the OIC Chu Lai ASRT when Capt. Dick Ebert rotated out  of VN.  After R&R in March of 1969 I was assigned to the An Hoa ASRT. Unfortunately, over the years a lot of names  of those I served with have escaped me.

I would like to be added to the recall roster.

Thanks,


Jim Allen
