68 Med Evac"
I just finished perusing this Line of posts and Remember the situation well. I was one of the ETN's that was called back in for the trip just before sitting down to Thanksgiving Dinner with my wife and a couple of other ET's they were John S.(Jack)Novak and John Dorn and perhaps another guy or two, Rod Weis and Eugene Spencer a DS2. My wife had cooked a Duck and we were watching a football game on television. Anyway, we spent the next three days steaming full speed to south of Hawaii to pick up a guy that had I think Bleeding Ulcers. I remember a lot of card playing and for the trip we got extra Liberty to celebrate a late Thanksgiving when we got back. That didn't prevent us from whining about being called in. Heck they unearthed a gold mine of personnel at my house. At that time in our History, our command was eager to perform for the positive Publicity, but I'm sure all of the Plank Crew remember well the Exploits of Gabby during those first few years. BTW, Does anyone remember the names of those Imagined nations we fought? Hope to make the 2006 gathering. Bill Wray ETN2
