72-72 Camp Greaves Medic

Comments: I was a medic stationed at Camp Greaves from March '72 through April '73. I am looking for buddies of mine stationed there during the same time. Kenny Gamble from San Rafel, Ca. and a few other brothers. Spent allot of time at Oulette and pull patrols at night, and burnt crap in the mornings. Worked with JSA guys, although I don't remember any of their names. Knew some of the medicvac guys from the 121 in the south. Strange days. Allot of action going on when I was there. When I returned to the world I would talk about it at first, but people thought I was making it up. I've kept it to myself for years now. I never run into anybody who did time there, or at least I don't think I have. Maybe others feel the way I do about it and just carry it. I have a 2nd ID decal on my truck in the window hoping some other vet may see it, but no luck yet. Anybody who feels like dropping me a line feel free brothers. We're all we have.

Comments: I arrived in Korea Dec. 1970 as a Lieutenant, and assigned to 2nd Bn, 9th Inf., 2nd Div. below the DMZ. later on, the 7th Div. closed down and the 2nd Div. moved to Camp Casey. To keep the colors of some units alive, the 9th was redesignated as the 1st Bn., 31st Infantry Reg. Both units had proud histories, so going from a "Manchu" to a "Polar Bear" was no problem. We then moved to the DMZ around OP Isabella and Jane. My regrets are that there were incidents and casualties, but folks back home never heard of it or read about it. Men 'died in the service of their country'.

2d MP CO Cp. Casey 79-80

Comments: My year there was an amazing experience. Only went North of Imjin a few times to escort payroll to Greaves and Liberty Bell. Looked like the end of the earth. Had a funny incident in 1980, I was pulling MP duty at the "S&T gate" which was at the entrance to the 2d S&T batallion compound. There was a little taxi stand there where this retarded homeless Korean kid used to sleep, we called him Maxwell. He'd shine shoes for money, and bum cigarettes. I felt sorry for him. So this one morning he's standing there joking around with me and the KATUSA on duty. Down the street comes MG Kingston, the division CG at that point, known as "Barbwire Bob" for his prickly nature. We COme to attention and salute as he drives by, and I see him and his driver staring in disbelief at Maxwell, who is standing next to me. I peek down quickly and he had dropped trou and was saluting Gen. Kngston with his dick and he's giggling. The jeep stops, and Kingston turns around, points at me and says, "You catch that little shit. And don't come back until you do" SO Maxwell takes off running down the street towards the ville, knowing he's in deep shit, like a greyhound, with me running after him. After chasing him up and down alleys, along the "VD River" banks, through a couple of restaurants, a schoolyard and a bank, I finally tackled him on the 2d floor of the Arirang restaurant on the MSR across from the main gate to Cp. Casey. I drag him back to the PMO, gave him a couple of slaps along the way form making me run after him for over an hour. The desk crew was laughing pretty hard about it and we turned him over to the KNP's that had a liason office in the PMO. They wrapped this kid in an amry blanket and made him spin around while they beat the crapm out of him with poolsticks. He was in there screaming and crying, and I felt bad again, forgetting about all the trouble he'd caused me. The KNP's gave him back to us, and the desk sgt. gave him to one of the MP patrols and told them to drive him to the DMZ and dump him there. Off they go with crying Maxwell. They get up north of the Imjin, near Freedom bridge I guess, and had to drag him kicking and screaming out of the jeep and threw him into a rice paddy. Mine fields all around I heard. They drove away with him yelling and crying but too scard to move, and sundown is coming, not a good place to be at night! My buddy told me later that the drive back took about an hour and they were feeling guilty about what they'd done to this poor homeless retarded kid, leaving him up there where he'll probably get shot. But, as they are turning off the MSR to go through the main gate of Cp. Casey, there he is, waiting for them, with a big grin on this gap-toothed face! He beat them bac, and as they drove past him, he was giving them the finger, laughing and shouting "fuck you Fuck You FUCK YOU!" God that was funny. Got a lot of them.

LEAST WE BE FORGOTTEN

Comments: Have to say hello to all that have gone before me,Hang Tough, Keep up the Fire, Infront of them All, and Stands Alone, 2ND to NONE, Steel Rain, Death By Wire.

I am proud of each and everyone of you that served in the DMZ I too have trod the ground and left my footprints in the mud of the rice patties and rice dikes along the MDL or at the dolphins head, or along the lake in infiltration alley, or in front of Taesong-dong watching the Pagoda all night long in a ambush, or crawling out to the punch bowl,or humping up hill 56 or tripping in the brush or fighting off the mosquitoes is just like fighting off the cold, and I can say after you humped up to GP Ouellette or calluard it was quite relaxing as you waited for the night to come so you could move out again on your night ambush! or standing on top of GP Ouellette and looking at north korean GP 221 or 222A or 222, yah you not supose to do that kind of stuff, but who cared, or watching the fence line lights flash as you moved from ambush to ambush or hearing a mine blow up in one of the many mine fields or coming up from under the bridge of no return at 0430am moving toward CP3 we can all say we have been there and done that.

I just hope there are people out there, that realize that we put our lives on the line every time we patroled the DMZ.

Seems that what we did is lost in the red tape of the military, this is a cool web site because of all the cool people that are on it, you people like me have done something that alot of people will never do in there life, and I got the awards and so do you, but It's like no one cares, we trained hard and we partied hard and we live at a place called Warroir base ,(tent city)and when we got a pass we cross over freedom bridge, went to the vill, did are thing and came back and did it all over again.

Now today there are no people in 2ID that patrol the dmz, they gave the sector back to the ROK in 93 and they don't even man the south barrier fence GP128 is no more along with GP127,126,124,125 it's all done by 1st ROK div. so when you see pictures of us soldiers saying they are patroling the DMZ,mybe the south barrier fence line but not the us sector of the dmz, the only ones patroling in the us sector is the JSA. I worked at 3RD BDE from 87 to 91 and there wasn't a day when a unidentified person or persons was in the dmz, or something was going on and our DMZ BN was there. Now days 2ID soldiers take a tour of panmunjom and that's there DMZ, they have no idea what korea is all about.

Well enough of that, can you tell I been in the (Z) alot I got lot's of imformation about the DMZ, pictures, video tape, current map of the sector showing it all(everything)after all I didn't work at 3rd BDE TOC for nothing, I can tell you this much everything that happened in or near the us sector I knew about it from past events that happened to current events, everything came through us and we keep every thing on file to include well everything, best job I ever had, well we,us,you guys and me can forever say (we stand alone) see ya.
