Dave 'Spud' Sawley

 Before I was stationed at NAS, Argentia, I was stationed at Naval Support Activity, Danang, Vietnam in the Public Works Dept at Camp Thien Sha. My main job there was building and maintaining/repairing fences. Sometimes I helped out with Pest Control, too. Sometimes I worked with and supervised Vietnamese female laborers, that was usually a lot of fun. We had a concrete block mill. The only way to get blocks over there was to make them. Supply didn't have them. Can you imagine women standing in wet concrete above their ankles, mixing concrete with hoes? That's how we did it!
