TBS December 1964; Chu Lai 1965-67

[BobTate]

I am interested in finding "old timers" who graduated from Quantico TBS in December 1964 or who served in MAG-12 in the early years of Chu Lai. Also, anyone with Chu Lai photos from that timeframe.....

Bob, I just read your message. My Dad is Lt. Col. Rex Wilson (USMC-Ret.). He was EX and Col. Les Brown was CO of MAG 12 in Chu Lai/1965. I was over at my parents today; my Dad just happened to show me a group photo of MAG 12 during that time frame. If you would still like a copy I will be happy to mail/scan (if I can get my scanner to work) to you. Please let me know.

Sincerely from a very PROUD Marine's daughter,
Karen

I have some photos on this site under my name in the Photo Gallary, but they are photos of grunts 65 and 66 Chu Lai (kilo 3/7), there are some photos of Helicopter on LZs. Eventually, I will get around to putting more on the site.

Karen...

great to hear from you. I arrived in Chu Lai in Feb 1966. I remember your Dad's name and Les Browns although I can't remember for sure if they were still there when I got there. The MAG-12 CO I served under for the longest time was Jay Hubbard, who passed away last year.

I have found some of the other officers I served with, some of whom were among the original landing party in 1965.... maybe your dad knew Ed Rolita, Dick Milller or Vic Britt.

I would love any pictures you have and I have some I can send in your direction. Send diurectly to BobTate@aol.com.

Thank you and give your Dad a "Semper Fi" for me.

Bob

I was a radar tech in the gca unit that landed in may of 65. There was no base when we came ashore. I have pictures taken in the fall of 65 . I was on hand for the first fixed wing landing. I left chu lai in Jan. of 66. I have those pictures on a cd which I could copyand send to you if desired.

Hi, Jerry! Thank you for your note. We would appreciate it if you would send us a CD during that time period. I know my Dad would enjoy seeing it and so would the rest of the family. Please let us know how much it is & we will send you the money.

Sincerely,
Karen (Tudy)
