Long 16 months for me thanks to extention for ETS. Nice little 'ville in the vally where the first Chosen Emperor was born... hated doing the BN death runs every month and the forced marches. Nothing better to do in the middle of the winter than getting up every thre hours to start the tracks and trucks so they wouldn't freeze solid. Helping to replace all the WD1 in Collier was a stone cold itch as well as replacing the rectifier for the ship to shore searchlight. Arrived from the turtle farm and dumped on the Z at Warrior base, left a bit wiser to the world. Good thing because 17 years later I ended up in downtown An Nasiriyah in a mobile shooting war and survived along with all my troops.

Memories of K16 and Itaewon

Comments: Man, I don't know where to begin. It's wierd . . . about every 5 or six years I start thinking about my tour of duty in Korea and I get all nostalgic. I was there from November 1988 - November 1989. Does anybody remember the MTV Club in Itaewon? I spent many a night there. I was in flight ops at K16 airbase. But when I first got in country, my unit was in the field, just south of the DMZ. So for almost two weeks, I hung out with some cook named Tony who showed me the ropes. He took me to Itaewon for the first time - and all that that entails! From that point on, I went to "the Won" every weekend until I left country. Needless to say, I left the ROK without a dime in my pocket!

Does anyone remember the name of the "vil" across the highway from the K-16 Airbase? I spent a lot of nights there too. There was a little club we would go to . . . and we would all get up and do some kind of weird line-dance every time they would play "Takin' Care of Business." I can't remember all the names of the guys I hung out with. I do remember Jim Broin, cause we went through AIT, Korea, and Fort Polk together. Other names I remember are: Wolford, Rita Rae Hettinger, SSG Biggers, SFC Boggs, Major Agosta, CPT Sargent, Parshay.

If any of this rings a bell, email me.

Verifying DMZ stories

Comments: Hello,

First, let me thank you all for your service while deployed on the DMZ. I am doing some research for a school project and an aquaintence of mine has been telling me about his DMZ experiences from the mid-1980's. He was in the US Army Military Police, regularly stationed at Scolfield Barracks, HI. I believe 1st Brigade? He was sent to the DMZ twice during that time.

I hate to sound like I don't believe everything he's shared, but thought this might be a good place to see if the stories sound realistic. I do question some of them. He has stated that he would regularly drop from helicopters into some of the tunnel systems in the DMZ area and makes it sound like he was engaging N. Korean soldiers while crawling through these tunnels. Two things come to mind. As an MP, is it likely he was repelling from helicopters as a normal duty. Also, I think there were only 2-3 tunnels discovered by that time and they would have been guarded much like today. I believe they even give tours now to one or two.

I'm not trying to discredit the guy, but I need to know if I can count on his honesty before using his information. Any help on what an MP's duties were during that time would be helpful!

Best Regards, David

Lions and Tigers and Bears... OH MY!

Comments: Hey Guys,

I saw the Tigers first hand, without a doubt (3 Tigers). In 1986 about a month into our DMZ tour, the patrols were comming back with rumors of Tiger sitings. Everyone was very much on edge as the rumors spread. (I personally thought it was Bull$#%$). But then, One night, while me and my team were on "observer" duty on one of the two Guard posts inside the Z (using the TOW weapon systems Night Vision scope)... a Patrol came into the Guard post (around 2am?) (we had to open the front gate... and as they came in, they were nervous that they think that they saw multiple tigers. (we said Bull#$%^).

But then a few minutes later, one of my men manning the night vision, said "I SEE'em". I said Bull@#$%... LET ME SEE.

I personally looked through the Night vision scope and SAW 3 Tigers right outside the back fence of the Guard post... As many of you know, the Guard posts are very small, so the Tigers were maybe 30-40 Meters away from us at best!

and looking at something that close through TOW's night vision scope... it was very clear as to what we were looking at. We watched them for quite a while, as they were hanging around the kitchen (fence behind the kitchen)... just lurking. They smelled the food.

We reported it to our Battallion commander, and were instructed never to mention it again under threat of a court marshall (well they can't court marshal me now :) Yes, there are Tigers in the DMZ.

When we got back to Garrison, I went to the library and found that Tigers are native to the DMZ area... we were really jumpy for the rest of the tour.

But being good Infantry solders, we chanted (in a whisper), LIONS AND TIGERS AND BEARS, OH MY! ... while on patrol.

During that same DMZ tour (warm months of 1986), I witnessed a big explosion in the Mine field at the Entrance to the DMZ. Around 3am... right behind us... we called the QRF and they were there in about 10 minutes... possible infiltration?

Not to knock on our infantry and field artillery brethren, but they went home after their 90 day stunt, we saw them come and go as the DMZ was our home. I sometimes wonder what ever happened to SGT Edwards, SGT Beard, SGT James, my driver SP4 Paxson, PFC Carrington, and the rest of our DMZ family who I have forgotten their names but not their faces. I hope that you are all doing okay and that God has taken care of you all. Hope that we can meet again one day!

That school sure taught me a few lessons I will never forget. If anyone remembers these same times drop me a line it would be nice to talk to fellow vets who shared these experiences, and remember "second to none" is not a motto, but an attitude for life; because if you served with the 2ID you truly are "second to none" and this will forever be because we were the guns of the DMZ!

Looking for my Turtle

Comments: Looking for my own personal Turtle or anyone who is willing to act as my Turtle. Actually looking for PFC Nippie One. He knows who he is. I was assigned to Camp Stanley (HHB DIVARTY) from 1980 to 1981. Spent some time in Cheju-Do, at Santa Barbara and on the Unit Police Force. Eventually got the message (at Forth Hood) and transfered to the Air Force where I retired. Lots of fond memories of Stanley though. The most popular song was "One way ticket to the Moon" and the title fit where we were. You could hear it at any club in town, ten times or more a night. Only those that were there believe it. I've been called a liar one time too many telling Camp Stanley stories. We had no women in the 2nd Infantry except two or three at TDC, and some in the Transportation unit (also at TDC). When I got back to the Turtle Farm in 1981, women were just begining to be stationed there, but that's another story. I took my first wife there and we lived outside the main gate until my daughter was born. There were only two amrican women on Stanley (My wife and another wife) and they would close the gym for them in the morning so they could shower. When m y daughter was born I was ordered to move to Oui Jong Bu where we shared a "Western Style" apartment with a couple from Camp Red Cloud. "When I die I'll go to heaven...cause I already spent my time at Stanley". You guys know the word that goes there. Second To None!!!

These we're the best years out of 10 yrs that i spent in the Army.It was , as many people posted on here the best place to soldier in the Army.I am searching for any former members that was with that unit or other units that i may have been co-located with or attached to. I ran the Retrans teams for the BN.I started out a Pfc, then Sp4, acting Sgt and finally Sgt.My team did the first airmobile insertion the bn. ever did. i believe in 84/85, from Camp Hovey firing range to ,i believe hill832 in the chorwon valley.(that was many combat bottles of soju ago).Our LtCOL Rode with us and the aviation W.O."s piloting the blackhawk had to punch the load (jeep and trailer) from about 4' off the surface of that hilltop l.z. due turbulance. it blew out 2 tires on the jeep and almost bounced off the side of hill 832.We we're often co-located with other retrans teams of the 4/7cav,1/23inf and 1/38inf.anyone remember those cold frozen nights on those hills? We also of course supported the M.I.Linguists/D.F. guys in A.CO. And the radar site guys in B.CO. Anybody remember that hellacious road(path) up to CASEY 39er,we occaisinally sat up site right below the top.I remember a few times going up that hill in the snow and mud with 4 tire chains on the jeep,pulling a heavy trailer,plastic doors removed in case we had to bail out,redlining the tach all the way.more than once we would round one of those hairpin "s" curves and side swipe "audishi" coming down on his "kimchi cadillac" with twigs and shit stacked about 20' high and about as wide. ah!the memories. also the ratt mission deployed to the dmz for one of those rice exchanges between the north and south. remember standing in line at the chow hall and having propaganda leaflets fall like confetti from the sky.our katusa was lee yong won with those b.c.g's on his head. about 15%of our platoon fell out puking on some of those p.t.runs after staying up almost all night partying and then having to run behind one of those johnny on the spot trucks. i have a lot of pics and memories.my best partner sp4 cameron,last seen him as a e-6 at bragg, if any of ya'll remember the times e-mail me.
