Bien Hoa Army - Company A44 36th Signal Bn |
Company A44, 36th Signal Battalion, 1st Signal Brigade. "1st Signal" was known in GI slang as "Southeast Asia Bell". I spent my first year here, mostly operating the 101st Airborne Division's MARS station.
The 101st Airborn Division, nicknamed the "Screaming Eagles", had their rear area on the same base as us. The station's callsign was AB8AAE which we always spoke phonetically as "Alpha Bravo Eight Almost Airborne Eagle".
