Tay Ninh, better known as Rocket City; was my last basecamp before returning to Cu Chi for deros back to the world. I spent a good portion of my tour there working on and around Nui Ba Den, the Black Virgin mountain. The US had a small firebase on the very top and we patrolled around the base of the mountain. Charlie owned the rest with large tunnels throughout the mountain. We also patrolled a lot of other territory, Hobo woods , Michelin rubber plantation, Bo Loi woods and some territory close to the Parrots Beak area. I always thought we were in a Cambodia on several mission towards the end of my tour because you could not get air support or artillery fire missions. Well enough of this just click on the links below to get to my pics. |
