Eta Jima School Command

Comments: Was stationed as permanent cadre to Bldg 58, Training Aids Section, Eta Jima School Command, from April, 1949 thru September, 1951. I was stationed at EJSC when Korean deal started in June, 1950. EJSC was part of JLC. (Japan Logistical Command) Students came to EJSC from Okinawa, Guam, and all the Units stationed in Japan and FEC. They came to schools such as: Automotive Maintenance, Cooks & Bakers, Electrical Lineman, Signal Corps, Motion Picture Projection, Corps of Engineers, etc. I was in charge of the Training Aids Section where indigenous draftsmen, artists, sign painters, carpenters, metalsmiths, etc. designed and produced the various training aids for these school classrooms. Soon after Korean War began, Japanese recruits replaced American students and became part of the JNPR. (Japanese National Police Reserve) I was in the Headquarters and Service Company most of the time I was at Eta Jima. I was returned to Camp Breckenridge, KY and discharged 9/22/51.

He is missing the tip of his pinkie finger on his right hand. He may have been a cook, or connected to the Ordnance School. At some point he may have gone to the Phillippines. His girlfriend's name was Toyoko Asato. She worked as a maid at Camp McTureous. She was pregnant when Jerry left Okinawa and their daughter was born in February, 1956. Her name is Junko Fukuhara. Jerry wrote Toyoko and sent money. His last letter was sent from Chicago in 1958. Unfortunately, that same year, Toyoko died. Fukuhara-san was taken to live with her grandmother.

On his DD--214 line 28 which is "most significant duty assignment" it reads as follows Pnts Sec MHD ASU 3441. Does anybody know what that means and what he did in the service? I hope that somebody can help and thanks in advanc to one and all who can help. X-Vet from Vietnam.
