7TH INF DIV BAND JUNE 1950 TO SEP 1951 |
| RONALD CARROLL wrote on November 9, 2005 City and State: INDEPENDENCE OR Unit: 7TH INF DIV BAND Service or Relationship: ARMY VETERAN Comments: I was sent to Japan in 1950, after completing Band Training in Ft. Ord, California. I was very young and innocent without a care in the world. I was fortunate enough to have been flown overseas with a 5 day stopover in Honolulu, (flat broke). I arrived in Japan and was sent to a site where we (lots of GIs) waited for assignment. I was lucky enough to be assigned to the 7th Infantry Division Band. Unfortunately, I had no opportunity to see what Japan was really like. My wife and I recently spent some vacation time in Japan. WE LOVED IT! Wonderful people, and everything was spotless. I could see why many of the guys that were stationed in Sendai had girlfriends off-base. Who could blame them. The Division was sent to Camp Fuji, for advanced infantry training. This only lasted for about a month, then boarded a troop ship, shared quarters with many ROK soldiers and their dried squid. Every bunk was assigned to 3 men, who had to sleep in equal shifts. We were to become a part of the Inchon Invasion, so we were aboard for a very long time while the ship convoy was formed. Many got sick, but I heard that keeping your stomach full would prevent seasickness. It worked for me! After the invasion the band was to become a part of the Division Defense Platoon, assigned to protesting the Division Headquarters. 2-on, 4-off was our life style for a long time. We moved frequently, and slept on the ground in pup-tents. That first winter was something to remember for a California boy. It got as cold as 20 degrees below zero on some nights. We felt like we were going to freeze. My tentmate, George Dziwak (clarinet)was sick one of those nights, and we would no sooner squeeze our freezing selves into our mummy-bags (fully clothed) when he would have to hurry out into the cold with diarrhea. That poor soul, not even a latrine, just a bush! He had to be very quiet too, as the guards on duty would challenge him every time he came out of the tent. At the end of that winter our duties were changed from guard to entertainers, and traveled in the back of a 6-by to play for the troops in the forward locations. Mr Margolin was our CO, and General Barr commanded the Division. The inactive reserves came to help us out, and took home all of the promotions. It was a memorable part of my life, but it was also 55 years ago. I can recall but a few of my comrades, I'm sorry for that. We had a combo that played some great Stan Kenten music. It was strange to most of us, but great none the less. George Witman (drummer) and I (trumpet)wound up in the 6th Army Band in the SF Presidio until I was discharged in 1952. He played drums in the Pipe Band (bagpipes) He was a hoot! My trumpet days were ruined while stationed in the Presidio, when the Army dentists removed my four upper front teeth. Tough to play a horn with a 4-tooth plate in your mouth. I'd love to hear from anyone who shared these times. I'd hope to refresh my memory.
