You could probably reconstruct a timeline of Storm-Shadow's time in Vietnam just based on what Stalker said in issue #26 of the old Marvel comic book series and the events depicted in the Snake-Eyes Trilogy (issues #94-96).
Stalker met Storm-Shadow and Snake-Eyes (January of 1968,a day before the start of the Tet Offensive) en route to attending Recondo School in Nha Trang. He notes in his recollection that SS and SE are close friends and had already done one tour together. A US Army in-country tour was about 12 months long. Throw in the 30 days leave that a soldier gets after serving an in-country tour and it's fairly certain that Storm-Shadow arrived in Vietnam, at the latest, in December of 1966.
In-country Recondo School took anywhere between 2 weeks to 3 weeks on the average, and upon completing training, Stalker, Snake-Eyes, and Storm-Shadow were teamed up with Collins, Escobedo, and Saperstein as part of that ill-fated LRRP team, and served a tour together. How long they were into that twelve-month tour before the incident that killed Escobedo and Sapersten and Collins' capture by the NVA isn't exactly clear, but given that the typical volunteer contract was for three years, it would have been up by the time he finished his tour as a LRRP anyway, which would have been sometime in 1969 if signed up in 1966.
