You'll see scenes filmed while panning down over the camp and towards the runway at Chu Lai, while numerous jets and other aircraft land and take off. There's footage of guys relaxing & drinking around a small shelter building, and shots filmed down on the flightline of more planes landing and taking off, including an A4 Skyhawk JATO take-off. There's a stage show featuring a female singer perfoming for the troops, and after the sun goes down she returns and puts on a second show. The home-movie is about 25 minutes long.
The "Photo Album" runs about 17 minutes. It includes b&w and color photos beginning with a few from Marine Training at Cherry Point N.C., thru his Vietnam tour, and ending with a few shots from NAS Whidbey Island in the 1970s. The Vietnam photos include: tents and hootches at Chu Lai; PFC Carlson posing with an M3 Grease Gun; shots of enemy rocket/mortar damage on the base; an award ceremony in the revetment area; captured enemy Heavy Machine Gun (anti-aircraft); and much more.
