Chapter 9 - Helpful Links
The following site is like having your own personnel center in your back pocket. Makes no difference your branch of service. Each service had the same 214's, medical and personnel records, unit rosters. This site even has grave site registration and many different things which are very helpful.
Go to the following web site for the Vietnam Helicopter Flight Crew Network and click on Veterans and Family Search and Information.
If you were a Fixed Wing person and who subsequently decided to go Rotor Wing this is also a good site for you to join.
The following links are helpful to all members of the 18th Avn Co, 256th Trans Det. and the 163rd Medical Detactment
1st Aviation Brigade portal click to view magazines shows links to brigade units and related websites. My favorite is the section on the Hawk Magazine (remember Miss Hawk) every month? Enjoy your reading. They have several articles on the 18th Avn Co.
The next site is the Army Otter-Caribou Association (AOCA) made up of retired Otter, Caribou, Neptune pilots, officers, and enlisted personnel. (A great place you might find one of your former friends.) The 2010 reunion is scheduled to take place at Ft Benning Ga. Notify the AOCA if you want to go.
Another site where you can also meet some of your former friends from Ft Riley and from Nha Trang, Vietnam are the people from the 339th Transportation Company.
