"We arrived in Long Binh to nothing but the red clay earth, and the Long Binh Jail "LBJ" [USARV Stockade] in the background.  We had to erect our tents, and of course, bunks, foot lockers, etc. all sat in the dirt and mud.  No floors... everything dirty and muddy.  We filled sandbags every day, and had to stack them around the tents.  We also filled the sand bags and built the bunkers.  I didn't think it would ever end. This is an early shot of where my tent was going to be erected. I can't make out who the guys are filling sandbags, looks like Bud Bower on the left." Courtesy of SP/4 Cecil A.
