Just left CHULAI in Dec of 67 after 19 months with MAG 12 arresting gear and catapult, so I missed the rocket attack. Before I left I was on guard duty at the south end and 4 rockets went over our heads. It took years for me to think about it and after watching the History channel about the TED offensive they were testing our defenses at the base. A month later the attack occurred.
I was in VMFA 314 nov 67 to Dec 68. Aviation Ordnance I saw the amo dump go up. SEMPER FI SIR.
I was on the beach when the explosion happened. I was going through training. Then on to Hill29 with 1/1 Cavalry.
