Think I was there when we got hit by the sappers..they came in from the other side of the compound across the airfield from the hootch area..As I remember it, they killed some guards, 2 or 3 in the bunkers on the way in and blew up a couple chinooks and some hueys..Not real sure on all the damage, long time ago. Suffice to say, it was a hard night. Think I spent most the night in the communications center that night, if memory serves me right, SFC Hudson was the NCOIC there about that time. Think he was the one that helped man them dang (notice I cleaned that up a bit) Mode V terminals from PhuLam..Trying to keep from getting a dang (another clean up there) reject which went on our reject rate which seemed to be, for some reason, one of the major points Brigade used along with how shiny them dang (more censoring here) floors were, where we wore booties or tennis shoes to work all the time..haha Just thought I would post up my memories there of what happened. Dont think the 52nd lost anyone that night, unless it was someone running over a guy wire or something there by the tower.
