Steadman, Dexter Thomas, b. 01/29/1944, d.
09/21/1986, US Marine Corps, CAPT, Res:
Pensacola, FL, Plot: 35 0 1754, bur. 09/23/1986
He was about 6 or 7 months ahead of me in flight
school... a MarCad (Marine Cadet) Class 14 1965
(I was in Class 44 1965 and received my commision
and wings May 12 1967) ... not sure when he got
his wings, but he would have been there late
spring I would think when he got there to late
spring/summer '67 to '68 if it was a full tour..
ours were 13 months... mine was the full tour I
know guys that were in 362 when he was there but
not sure of the exact dates.. I know they were
based either on an LPH like we all did (rotate on
and off the ship), but while I was in country Sept
'67 through Oct '68 they were based at Phu Bai.
