He was with the 3rd Naval Construction Brigade (Seabees) building docking and fueling facilities in various harbors. I don't know why he went back the second time, when he got back from his first trip he was pretty emphatic about how much the place still sucked.

I'm actually a pre Vietnam era guy, discharged in 1962 a week before my 21st birthday.
