She responed with a smile "Korea!" I knew I had made A HUge mistake in requesting this duty, let alone this crazy MOS. that seemed over populated with drop outs from other A.I.T Schools...But the barricks in Soule the Service men and 4 women shared was a nice concreate structure with 2 beds to a room, maybe this was not so bad...5 am. wake up and all but the 4 women and 2 beared and 1 medic we on a bus to 2nd div. turtle farm..where we were indocrinated,and give shots,sent to camp hovey,sent two days later to a rifle range when some dude lost it and the range sargent screemed to get down and stay in your hole,some dude lost it and shot and killed 5 of the men on that range ,another guy decided to get back @ his drill from back in basic who was assinged to his overseas company .They took all our Rifles and made us sit in the gym up the road,finally releasing us to our companies,later that night!when I awoke the next morning there was a sargent with shorts on and a testicaL that protuded past the leg hole,not less than baseball in size ,I wa told by Another that it was the bull headed clap,and not to go out into the rain without a rain coat.not two days later I ws on the Jeep to Radar site #3 Gp Oullette,working the radar at night ,pulling stand to and stand down daily,and listening to singing sam.Pv2. davis was the only name I recall from those early days,sept for top Mayberry.I was his fAVORITE hERO, at least till some else got lost on A cinderella pass,or tried to punch an M.P. out...Oh yea I forgot bill Saure and Rick Shaw... the first time I came to the rear I remember the Yaki man du tasted funny 3moths late we found out some one went to levenworth,beacause they traded U.S army steaks for korean dog meat pound for pound and pocked the diff. in Cash..in late june 01.I was on Radar site #1 when a choper.(us army) flew over my bunker i grabed a flare and seeing he was flying into the Dmz I poped it ,and received a ..on the spot correction from a E-4 who thought that the koreans can do it. then he could corect his troopers like wise...we were still wearing pickels back then,tossed salad was not aproved till 1982 ..and yes th Dallas chearleaders were at Collier,camp liberty,oullette,and 1/9th home base for thanksgiving, had a T.v. crew from some popular N>B>C>show that got aired a week before christmas...I know only cause I made the final cut...That freakin cold january with the snow and ice on the ground the cold Manturian wind that froze your fingers, and your eye lids ,I still can feel the weight of my rifle, the bailing wire on the clacker, the field phone that rang to tell us that stand down was over and hot coffee was in the chow hall,60 seats,and rifle rackes everwhere...Fort Apachee , we stayed up there for months while the grunts came and went. but all were brother to me...dec 81 was also the 1 year after john lennin died and the N.K.s' decided to come across and shake the wire on our north fence just this side of the MDL.I aquired them with my gsr . That old master sargent with his 30.06 bolt action, the site L.t. asking for permision to fire, the B.N. H.q. giving him the go ahead(green light)To engage...And the power went out .. so he fired..the radioes were dead my radar was dead so i ran to the sleeping bay and told sgt pollard we had bad guys on the wire..he woke up a guy named oggie...and sent him topside where he found me at the base of the tower with me firing a couple of rounds of ball ammo, when he asked what I was doing I relayed returning fire sargent, he told me to holdmy fire and he would climb the 32 feet into the tower,soon after asending the tower a third round of gunfire eurupted from the tree line on the N.K. side of the border...and oggie flew out of the tower and landed flat in the loose sand at my feet. i cralwed over to his prostrate form and asked if he was o.k? He stammered .their really shushooting at us...after he took over my radar duties and i got tosee the N.K. enlisted with his one hnd on the fence and his other grossly twisted behind his back, I cleaned my rifle in the stand to bunker and with the dawn caught hell for going on the patrol that cleared the east side of the fence....ect ect.god how I miss it and You all.

What's the price of corn?

Comments: Served 86-87 Barely escaped without getting married over there. Brian Moore went back and married my girl. Glad someone did. Any Buccaneers out there. I kind of miss the thunder run's. I could use a few drinks from the Moon club. I think they were called lig meals. Consisted of Soju Pineapple juice and kin. 3 and you wouldn't have to worry about a hangover. You woke up still drunk. I think my other favorite club was the Rendezvous, Studio 54. How about drinking Kettle's in Tokorei. Remember being on DRF1 during the holidays and the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders gave us a special show? I remember when Steve Flores heard the Tigers down by the gate on GP Collier. He was pretty scared. Talk about some wild times. I still remember walking up to the Barracks on Ft. Lewis and seeing Bruce M. Beard hanging out the window by his ankles. It was usually Batson who was hanging him out.

Buccaneers Aco 1/23 later 1/503 inf

Comments: I served as a designated rifleman while patrolling the DMZ if I remember corectly I did 13 combat patrols in patrol sector A. I was on the last patrol the Tomahawks ever did in the DMZ. It was a sad day. I was 1 of 4 graduates from my Sniper class on camp Casey. My finest memories of 8 years in the army are from the first 3 years with a cohort unit. It was the toughest Infantry unit I ever served with.

Comments: Hi All, Just got done helpin' to set up the "Moving Wall" in a Freeburg, IL... Had a chance to chew the fat with other vets about our experiences which made me want to come home and look around for any others who served at Camp Garry from '87 to' 88. I served as a Medic in HHT Troop, 4/7 Cavalry. I've done many things in life, but my service time has been my proudest. Thanks and take care out there.

Great site for great memories

Comments: I started reminiscing about my tours as an Infantryman in the ROK and the two ImJin Scouts on my wall, and somehow came across this outstanding site. I served two tours - CSC 1/38 Inf (J.J.'s Rangers) at Camp Hovey (85 - 86) and E Co 1/5 Inf (M) at Camp Howze (88-89). There a few familiar names I see in these posts, including Marc Heathco and Joe Greene for two. Has anybody ever here from Barry Quinn? A lot has happened since, but it was an outstanding place to soldier and I am proud to have served (and partied) with some of the best soldiers I have ever met. Best regards to all of you. Hope this finds you well and in good spirits. Follow Me!

Comments: Anyone that was in Wpns Plt B Co 1/31 Inf Jan 1978 - Mar 1979, Oct 1979 - 2nd Plt A Co 1/9, or Uncsg-JSA HHC/Check point one 1985-1987, and HQ Co special Troops in Yongsan from 1987 - 1988; just wanting to see anyone is out there. My memory is about gone so i cannot remember all the names of the crazy ones i served with. I still stay in touch with Deadly dave Garrie but have not found anyone else that I have served with.

Anyone hear about being awarded or authorized the CIB for Korean svc? You are authorized a korean Service Award that recently was awarded a couple years ago. You are also entitled to join the VFW because the war never ended.

If anyone is out there contact me and we can remenisce.

Donations needed for new Currahee KIA Memorial

Comments: Over 1,400 Currahees have made the supreme sacrifice for our country. You may have known some of them. But what you may not know is that there is no single memorial to all the soldiers of our Regiment who have been killed in action. This situation is about to change. Work has already started on a memorial, but your help is needed. At present, there is a need to raise $38,000. This is the unfunded dollar amount required to complete this memorial. This tribute to our fallen is being paid for by people like you. The Army has provided the land, however, soldiers, and veterans, along with Currahee friends and family, will have to come together if we are to complete this project. Now is the time to step up and take action. Check out the 506th Association web page www.506infantry.org/projectstable.html to see what the memorial will look like and how you can make this dream a reality.
