A total of 6 months in the corps, and all of it in Vietnam? That could possibly occur if he was a reserve officer activated for temporary duty (TDY).
Note: More than half of the US Military officers in the Vietnam War (including jet fighter pilots) were "reserve officers" on active duty. Regular Army (RA) or Regular Air Force, Regular Navy, etc. were normally boarded reserve officers who applied for and received a "regular commission." OR, West Point/Air Force Academy/Annapolis men were normally graduated with a "regular commission." If their weren't enough billets to go around, those grads received a reserve commission until an RA billet opened (vacancy).
