They were drafting into the Marines back then, or at least that's what my father told me. 68 was when he went over there too, regular Army.

My step father was there around 1970. Got shot through the body (entered in his left side, passed under his hart, exited his right side), bullet traveled through his elbow. He doesn't have an elbow on his right arm now. It's fused at about a 35 degree bend.
 
There's a pretty fair chance my father may have been your Senior D.I. He left for Vietnam in 68 but I'm going to have to ask him what month it was. I do believe it was later in the year.
