Comments: We were out there on a hilltop, about 2 miles long and a half mile wide, setting grades with a dumpy level, in fair weather or foul, sometimes using our "three-quarter" as a windbreak (when it was available)! We set grade on concrete forms,shot evevations on layer after layer of asphalt, using "bird dots". Transit work was the most difficult because the constant wind blew the plumb bob off center. The weather could also change in a matter of seconds, often from warm sunshine to snow. I'd sure like to get in touch with some of the crew from those days so long ago.
Keywords: "The easy,we make difficult;the difficult, impossible: but it takes time." That was our unofficial motto in H & S Company, 804th EAB.

Comments: While serving in Co. "C", 822nd Engineer Aviation Battalion at K-2 during the 51-52 time period, I faintly recall that a company of the 811th was also stationed there. I am hoping someone out there can confirm and refresh my memory.
Currently, I am writing a unit history of the 822nd and need to verify my remembrance of the 811th.

1903rd & 811th EAB Message: 42991 - Daniel Powell wrote on 2004-05-12 12:59:54, landman7@hotmail.com Unit: Comments: I was assigned to Co. "C" 1903rd EAB from Jan to July 1954 at Suwon as just another construction hand. From there we transferred (as a unit) to Co "B" of the 811th EAB and went by boat to Itami, Japan for a few months, but eventually settled on the island of Hokkaido, Japan. The airbase was called Chitose, and a more cold and barren place never existed on this earth. I got smart, told the CO I could type and served as company clerk until my departure in Nov. 55. I must say, I'm somewhat amazed that there are still a few of us out there.
Names I remember: Ellery Okada, Harry Gannon, Amos Kawee, Sylvester Kubiak, Duane C. Frohwein, Robert Wohlfahrt. I believe the C.O. was Lt. Ralph M. Clack.
I'll bet half these names are wrong, but the old memory can fool you at times.
For those looking for the SCARWAF patch (universally worn by all) it's a white winged sword on a Red Shield. I saw several while serving in Vietnam, but I don't think the original is available anymore.

The outfit was cited and written up in particular for its work at
