I think the 196th Light Infantry Brigade was shipped to RVN from the East Coast in the summer of 1966 - a 30 days or so trip!
I flew from Travis on a DC-6B. 39 hrs in the air all on three of four engines with stops in Honolulu, Wake Island (still had downed Jap Zero's and bunkers on the beach behind the air strip operations bldg) Clark in Manilia and on to Tan Son Nhat in Saigon.
