I was a medic with the 37th Med. Co. 1968-1969. There was some good times and some bad times. Spent some time in the field, ambulance convoy dudy, and base camp at suan-loc. After returning to the states I continued working in the EMS field and retired form Tooele Army Depot, Utah as a qualified EMT-I and EMTP with 34 years federal severice. I would not want to go back to RVN and do it all over again, although, myself and other
co-workers benefitted from the OJT experience that I got there.

I served at Basecamp (and later at Bien Hoa) -- Sept 68 to Nov 69. I too see very little mention of the 37th Med and 7th Surgical on the website, but I think there is a logical and natural explanation.
Most of the casualties that were treated at Xuan Loc were not 11ACR brothers. If I remember right, many were 101st Airborne (Screaming Eagles), 1st Cavalry and Big Red One. The busy times were hectic-- it was almost an evacuation hospital. There was not the "intimate" personal connection w/ the medics and the troops, as there was "in the field".

In fact, it was very hard to be a medic at basecamp, emotionally. Jump up in the middle of the day or night, rush to a medevac chopper--carry the wounded in and work like hell to save a life. I am forever amazed and proud of the emergency trauma skills of the surgeons we had there. It was unreal to watch their speed and treatment discipline. Not many of those that are part of this job-- then or now-- remain open and active with their memories. Its too damned hard 'cause the memories are harsh. I think more people purge their memories and do not want to remember!

Other times, when it was quiet, there were hardcore sandlot volleyball games after dinner and before dark, a kind of venting and release.

One of my "classmates" from Fort Sam (there were three of us that went to The Blackhorse) was Otis J. Bailey, who was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross 'in the field' w/ I Troop. What a heroic man! (Its sometimes hard to find his award: go to Askdotcom and just enter his full name and DSC-- it pops right up). Amazingly, the three of us flew in together and flew out together! He was at Basecamp often, too.
