4 JANUARY 1966, 0600 hours the USNS General Walker departed Pier 39 from Honolulu, Hawaii on a non-stop course for Vietnam. Most of the troops were sleeping during the departure and when they arose reality was faced and the questions were asked. Hey man maybe this HOLAKI 12 is for real. Hell no dad we will be turning around and going back. You know Uncle Sam, he tries to be realistic as hell with these big alerts. 5 JANUARY 1966 one day, five hours 42 minutes at sea. Weather mostly cloudy, sea was moderate rough today, but the GOLDEN DRAGONS were in high spirits and seemed to be enjoying the ride. The troops received their first Ship’s Paper today.
