Best Answer

Depended upon the job. A US Airman flying bombing missions over North Vietnam might last one mission. A US Sheridan Tank crewman might last two weeks (the M551 Sheridan had an aluminum hull with a steel turret, and fired 152mm caseless ammunition; one hit from either an RPG or land mine...almost instantly caused destruction). A company clerk working in a large base camp, will most likely last his whole tour, 12 months.
