Shu Lin Kou/Taipei - WHICH??
Shu Lin Kou Air Base (up on the hill)

Comments and highlights of your tour of duty!
I have been many places in Asia; Taipei, Jakarta, Bali, 
Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Manila, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Delhi, 
I'll have to say that, for me, Taipei topped the list as my 
favorite place in Asia. Great liberty, lovely ladies, plenty 
of sight seeing and more. Also, privileged to have worked 
with a great bunch of shipmates.

9.Comments: In late July 1964 shortly after arriving in Taipei, I was assigned Temporary Duty 
aboard the USS Maddox, along with 2 others from Taipei, and 7 or 8 from Shu Lin Kou , which 
we boarded in Keelung. We sailed to the Gulf of Tonkin and on August 2 and 4 where the Maddox 
was attacked by the North Vietnamese "PT" boats. After the incident we spent about 20 days 
more days at sea before the Maddox dropped us of at Subic Bay in the Phillipines. We were 
taken to Clark AFB and taken back by air to Taipei. My 2 years in Taipei were very rewarding, 
and among the best years of my life.,

9.Comments: The VERY best tour of duty EVER!! As a Chinese linguist I could go any,where and be accepted. 
I passed as 1/2 Chinese due my speaking the,language. Did a "rain-dance" with a USAF fellow Indian just before a,
Captains inspection and it RAINED, cancelling the inspection! That's,how I got the nickname White Cloud(Luo Bai Yun). 
Even found a Chinese,bar in Danang Vietnam in which I was fully welcomed with the local Chinese who were fighting 
the VC. Pat Anthony and Bill Beck were two of my supervisors while there. To bad they shut down the station as now 
any Chinese linguist has "no place to go"!! You have to "love and live the language" if you are going to be truly a Chinese linguist!!!
