Mess Hall 69-70 1st MAW Danang, RVN

"This was the enlisted mess hall on our side of the compound. The wing you can see is the NCO side. Just around the building to the left (1st MAW Band) was the enlisted club."
I worked in that mess hall in 68-69 I was the Asst, Mess Chief...
That wing was the Staff NCO side when I worked there.
I was also there when the enlisted club opened up, it was directly in front of the messhall, I had a good friend who was in the 1st MAW band...Brought back some memories...
