(Walt Cobourn, PK, 633rd SPS, 1965-1966: There were two bunkers built prior to our arrival, I believe they were built by the Montagnards stationed on Pleiku or they had them built. I have a picture of these if you want them. April through October 1965 was very rough on the twenty SPs and one officer stationed at Pleiku, then known as DET-1, 34th Tac Gp, then in a few months 6254th.)
