Before going in country I had never listened to country music. I didn’t have a radio, another soldier did and he played it in the late afternoons. There was a DJ who had the intro of “its time to kick those chickens with chicken kicking music.” My first country song to like was Stand By Your Man. I loved that song and all the other songs that wonderful lady put out. Does anybody remember that particular DJ and his program?

I'm probably wrong, but I seem to recall that Gene Price and Willard did some stuff like that.

I remember the chicken kickin music intro, but not the dj. In 1970 at Cam Ranh Army it seems to me it came on mid morning.

Rodger, 
Given your dates at AFVN, I am guessing that DJ was Bob Brossia.  Bob would have been on in the afternoon if I remember right.  He went in to that program not being a big country music fan but I think that he became one.  He was kind of noted for stopping to run the pigs out of the studio which was not always appreciated by C&W fans.  I remember a time when

NOTE:

I remember one time when Bob stopped the music to chase the pigs out of the studio and our phone rang.  It was an irate C&W fan.  I patched the call into Captain Lamson, the Adjutant.  A minute or so later he shouted across the hall way for MSG White, the Admin NCO, to go try to rein Brossia in.
