Comments: Am trying to help my husband prove he was indeed in Korea during 1957-1958 at the Hialeah Compound in Pusan Korea. He was a young man. Lost all proof in the fire at ARPERCEN in 1973. He tells of a General Decker and his boat. He was in cold storage and also an SG. Rode the train that brought stuff into compound as SG. He mentions a Cprl. Brite, a James Stewart, a Frank Peoples, and a couple others. Has pictures of himself and friends but was told he could have been in Japan for all they knew. Would like to know if the uniform in Japan was an OD or an OG and maybe how I can get info for self. Anything would help at this point. Thanks much.

ADVANCE CAMP

John V. Sasso wrote on 2009-07-23 07:41:28.0

Comments: I was staioned at Advance Canp from Dec. '55 to Apr. '57 (16 months). I was assigned to Security For six months and then to Escort for the remainder of my tour. With Security we were responsible for patroling the road from the camp to the Conference Area and Bridge of No return. With Escort, we were responsible for the protection of all the conference negotiators and top dignitaries. Escort consisted of a lead jeep, the sedan carrying the dignitary, and a tail jeep. We were heavily armed in the event of an incident. It was good duty and got us off the "Rockpile" of Advance Camp. I was fortunate to serve with a great bunch of guys. We were very close knit. I hope that anyone that served with me will contact me. I had a mini-reunion with three in '04, but would like to hear from others. Thank you.
