The first military advisors were sent to Viet Nam in 1959 and the last one came home in 1973. The normal tour of duty for a soldier sent to Viet Nam was 12 months. Some served multible tours. In some rare cases the tour of duty could be as much as 18 months.
Very very common. But one must be careful when using that word "tour." It might be different in the Marine Corps or Navy or Air Force. In the US Army the first tour was a year (12 months). After that, they were in six month increments. Therefore, if a vet says he did 3 tours with the US Army in Vietnam, then that's only 2 years (12 months for the first tour, plus 6 months for the second tour, then 6 months for his third and last tour). And any man doing over 18 months with the US Army in Vietnam almost certainly had to have re-upped (re-enlisted), and was no longer a draftee.
