Ma'am!
Found the below: Department of Defense Public Record Name : OLEN WAYNE JR GARRETT Service : ARMY Service Component : REGULAR Pay Grade : E-3 Military Specialty : 11B1O00 You wrote that your uncles MOS were: 11E20 Armor Crewman, but that he served in the 129th "Avn CO". (AHC) The MOS you posted, would make him either a "Tanker", or a "ArmCav". (Ground). The MOS I found him listed as, is for "Infantryman". ("Legs" so to say). However, as many Vietnam Veterans knows, MOS-listings were "not always" reflecting what Really served as.... Check your late uncles photoalbums. See if you can find any names by photographs there. Letters home, while in RVN, is also a good place to seek info of names. Compare with "Rosters" and/or guestbooksignings in websites of units your uncle served in. Post there yourself aswell. Examples of websites of units, as you wrote he served in the 129th "Avn Co" (AHC), are below. Have also put links to "larger" unit-websites, which the 129th AHC was a part of, during some periods. Before posting links, I also whish to address "Nam_Angel". Nam_Angel, Ma'am! From what I can read from your posts here, you certainly have earned your "handle". If I could, I would give you a Big Hug, and buy you the largest cup of coffee you have ever seen! You are a sweet, warm and kind L-a-d-y! T G C, and Good Luck!

Thanks A.B. I do have a roster from the 129th with his name on it. I have also visited there site often. I think i'm never going to find anyone who knew him.
Thank you so much for that info, I do beleive that is my cousin though, Wayne, he is Olen's oldest son and he served in Desert storm. I don't have much contact with him so I'm not 100% sure of what his service was. |
