A supply convoy from Kontum was hit while I was RON in Dak To, Fall of 1968. The dinks actually hit the beer truck, and the camp went dry, ran out of beer for two or three days.

Even the LRRP Bar was dry.

It was awful.

We, of course, were dry only until a maintenance problem that I could not fix came up, which luckily happened almost immediately, and we had to get a replacement ship and crew from Pleiku. As long as they were coming, they brought us some beer. Ahem.
