For all you TETvets on here that had a memorable night January 31st 1968.
I was at a firebase known as C-2 about a mile south of Con Thien.
It was SOP that we got pounded day and night anyway, so this one night doesn't stand out in my memory.

When it’s there 24/7 it’s understandable that it kinda becomes routine. I hated firebase security duty and much preferred search and destroy patrol. A dug in firebase was like a million candle power spotlight for moths to swarm over.
