Gentlemen, my stepfather was with y'all in VMO-6 in Vietnam. I was just curious if anybody might remember him. The VMO-6 Cruise Book ('66) ranks him as a SSgt, he retired from active duty in 1970 as a Gunny.
My Dad would have probably been one of the older guys in the unit, he joined the Corps in 1951 during Korea, and I think he worked on Hueys.
He was always proud to be a Marine, but he spoke of Vietnam in detail very rarely. I'm just hoping to get a little perspective on what life (and death) was like over there. Sadly, he passed away in 1992.
Thanks for any info you guys can offer, hope to hear from some of you!

I knew Staff Mac, pretty well, when I first came to VMO-6 in Dec 66, I was assigned to him, I think he tired of me, and I went to work for Staff Williams, then I was lucky enough to get permanently assigned to Sgt. Storms.
As memory serves, Gunny Mac was a recip guy, like me and it seems he rotated somewhere around March or maybe April.
He was a really great guy, and one heck of a section leader and mechanic.
