Viet Nam letter from PFC Wojtanik at Cam Ranh Bay
PFC John F Wojtanik, heavy equipment operator with the 87th Engineers, reports life in Cam Ranh Bay Vietnam. He recalls a giant boa killed nearby, several rattlers during maneuvers, and about 40 poisonous snakes in the area. He notes crude refrigeration, no milk, two square meals daily, and amusement from battery records. Weather and sand hamper heavy machinery, but the unit builds with sand bags and works on a harbor causeway. His letters promise home in May along with fishing and hunting memories.
