The annex is all built up with a college dorm and multiple high rises all around. Even the rice paddies are all built on. The only thing left that can be recognized is the parade ground.

HQTRS CW RADIO OPERATOR Service or Relationship: ARMY VETERAN - KOREA Comments: My experience is pretty much the same as the poster on November 1997. Drafted in Jan. took my basic at Ft. Devens with the 24th Sig Ser. Bn. I went to Radio operators school at For Dix. Then returned to the 24th. We set up the communications network for the maneuvers that were held at Fort Bragg. When we returned to Devens I was transferred to the 238th AAA. We took a train with the outfit and cannons to Washington where we set sail on the USS Marine Phoenix. There was another Ack Ack outfit on board also from Pennsylvania I believe. One of us was to be assigned to a Marine outfit and the guns were to be used as anti-personnel weapons. Pretty much as the Germans did in WW II with their 88 millimeters. We must have said the most prayers because we were unloaded at Yokohama. I didn't stay at Zama for more than a day or so, when myself and a cadre were shipped out in advance to set up the gun emplacements and Hqtrs at Fukuoka. I only remember working on Battery Dsemplacement for it was the closest to Itazuke. Sometime in the late spring the 238th went home and were named the 53rd AAA Gun Bn. We didn't do too bad. We defeated the Airforce in the Fast pitch softball tournament. And our baseball team also gave a pretty good accounting of itself. Not bad for a handful of Dogfaces amongst an army and a half of Airforce personell. Keywords:
