April 84 to April 85 Camp Greaves

Comments: What's up fellows. Browsing the net and saw this site.I had the honor of serving with HHC 1/9 Inf Bn Camp Greaves, April 84 to April 85. My Mos was 76 W POl and I had no idea I was going to DMZ till I was almost the last cat on the bus and the driver asked me what does your orders say? Man when I said 1/9 he laughed and said "man you going to the DMZ!!" I then replied *$%#@*&*!!!. I had a great time though. I had never been attached to infantry before and learn to do everything they did.Got to go now but I read where Camp greaves has been shutdown and transferred back to local people. See yah ! (Keep up the Fire)

Co C 1/23 Cohort 1984-1985

Comments: I am writing in regards to CIB badge. I was on the DMZ with my Cohort Regiment brothers. We rotated in From Ft. Lewis during the time described. I was on the DMZ during one very cold winter. We truly thought the ballon was going to go up when the Panmujon incedent occured. One of my unit members Clp Butoff's brother was shot in the arm during the incedent. He came out of it OK from what we heard. I am still amazed that the bouncing betty 's were exposed on the trail to the 128 tower I spent many hours on. Some claymore mines vanished at that time period. The DMZ caught fire and I still remember it glowing in the dark. I have Team Spirit Red wind breakers with Black unit stichery for winning the Inf. Tacticlal Team compitition NBC / Recon. It still makes me mad that they put the zipper in backwards. I serveed under Cpt. Feene, Platoon SSG Gurido / SSG Porter. My Team leader was Sgt Hoyal Hodges. What else do you need? Pvt. Erny found an unexploded pineapple gernade out there while on patrole. It kind of up set the folks in the debreifing tent when he pulled it out of his BDU jaket and put it on the table with the rest of the propaganda leaflets. I served from 1982-1987. I went to NTC in Barstow, re-upped there and finished as a 1/5th Inf. Bob Cat in Hi. If any of my Cohort Bros. are out there give me a heads up.This is a correction to the comments dated 7-26-2009. I have forgotton some things it's been 20 years. Watch out for BOGUS Reps, selling Bogus stories. Stay away from the YOBO.ChiYungKnee

Before deployment from Ft Lewis SPARK PLUG Kinnard wrote the C Co song. The year the DMZ burned and the claymore was stolen. No drop in the amnisty box. Just a miss count. 7 Ft McClean the indian scout. The barraks flooded, El Nino I think. guard post 128, Colure and Olett shook and the killer roadmarch back from the Z. We won the team spirit that year. SGT Hodges team leader,Bubba, Preston, and Berry pulling the stragelers Julio the crazy Perto Rican up the hill after a hard night drinking from the kettle. Good times full of hell raising. Testing the limits. Steel pots C rats and we still carried the M67 90mm in Ft Lewis. Still hear the choppers flying in after midknight. Chip Yung Knee C Co.

Camp Howze 1984-85

Comments: My first duty station after basic/AIT at Ft. Benning was Korea. I was a PFC and stationed at the top of the hill in Camp Howze, 2nd Platoon, Charlie Company (DIE HARD CHARLIE)in 1984-85. I remember landing at Osan AFB when I got to Korea and getting on the bus with the other newbies and driven to the turtle farm at Camp Casey for about 3 days of in-processing. I remember my friend from basic (PFC Leonard) and I going to the PX on Casey during one of those 3 days and seeing a massage parlor and being asked if we'd like a "special massagie." I remember being dropped off at Camp Howze late at night after getting our TA- 50 at camp casey and the C Company training NCO escorting us up the hill and telling us to beware of the turtle ditches. I was my squad's 60 gunner, but I was the RTO on our DMZ mission during the monsoon season, memorizing all the code words to use on the radio for every patrol we did (over 20 ambush and recon), and walking up to GP Collier or Oullete after a recon patrol for some chow before heading back out to go on ambush, setting up the claymores, calling in on the radio, telling stories about all the girls we slept with back home while sitting in ambush, it always raining while we were out there all night, and getting picked up and debriefed in the morning. Remember pissing in the tubes at Warrior Base? And the fuck ups having latrine duty, burning all our shit? When our DMZ mission was over and we got back to Camp Howze everyone went down range after cleaning weapons for a "short time" (only $10 then) or overnight ($20) in Bong Il shon (anyone remember "Thunder Thighs"? I think she worked in the Lucky Club) or I ta won. I remember having to sneak back on Camp Howze under the back gate because it was after midnight and we didn't have an overnight pass. I remember how cold it was in the field in the winter especially in the Chowan Valley. Does anyone remember the "yogi boy" who'd deliver food from the snack bar to your barracks, and charlie who shined our boots and did our laundry for about $30 a month? Remember the movie theater at Camp Howze? I remember going to see Jefferson Starship playing there for a USO show. Remember that little PX we had? Remember the brigade commander COL Stack, whenever he camp to Camp Howze all the lieutenants having a "Stack Attach"? We had some great KATUSAs in our company and I wish I knew how to contact them. My best friends were Knuckles and Jackson also in C co. I remember doing the super squad competition (obstacle course up the side of a mountain followed by a 12 mile road march, a 100 meter swim, and then the firing range). I remember whenever someone accidentally dropped their trey in the chow hall we'd all yell "TURTLE." I was in the Army 4 years, and my one year in Korea was the best time I ever had.

Comments: Served as a GSR member at both Guard Post Oullette and Guard Post Collier, Bco 102D MI BN, 85-86. What a crazy time, 28 days on the Z and then a 3 day pass...the whole year flew by like that. 1SG Delgado, SFC Deluca, SFC Burt, SFC Sharrock, SGT "Big Al" Coronado, SGT Alexander, SPC Shepard, SPC Jeff Middleton, SGT Dennis Kolencz, "Woody" the KATUSA (cause he looked like Woddy Allen). I remember an LT putting the whole place on alert during morning "Stand Down" by setting off a claymore...I had just finished my all night shift, had climbed into bed in the bunkered living area when that blast rocked me out of bed, that was high drama. I remember being the "gods" of the guard post because we lived there, we owned it, everyone else came to vist for 30 days at a time but we were always there. Propaganda leaflets carried by ballons, propaganda loudspeakers, random firefights, "infiltration alley", putting the crosshairs of the laser range finder on the NK guards balls and firing away, praying that lasers cause sterility!.....the three day passes were like Dodge City and the Wild, Wild West...we basically did whatever we wanted and pretty much got away with it....things that would get us arrested in clubs today were, just....normal then. Anyone wants to get in touch please drop me a line, anyone in touch with Jeff Middleton please let me know how to reach him or have him contact me, he posted on this site but the email address is no longer any good.

Team Spirit 1988

Comments: I too traded my MRE'S with mama san for yaki man do and one pepsi. Moon pies were the bomb also. We had a little incident on the Z, can't comment on that one. I was able to recover a weapon that a medic lost and never told on him. I made him sweat for a while and then I let him know that I had found his weapon while on guard duty. Back then we stuck together. None of this crap that exist today. We were there together and we were one.
