    Spent two weeks in Feb or March 1971 on R&R in the US mainland. Traveled Quang Tri Army Combat base to Saigon then to Oakland. Was able to spend two complete weeks in California. The program permitting leave in the US was begun l recall in the Fall 1970.

    The program had a name different than R&R but can’t remember it’s name. Believe we flew to the US and back on World Airways.
