On Top of Old Smokey

Comments: I'm ashamed to say it took my grandson to find this site. I wish I'd found it years ago. I was at the 606th from April 1952-April 1953. I thought I'd better put a notice in here because he spelled a few names wrong. Like Duane Tollerud the Swede from MN,( remember the handlebar mustache?) and Dick Jensen the Norski from WA constantly at each other. Bill Perry taught us all how to say (Loellville. We were all housed in the first squad tent on the right, past the first Quonset hut over the hill from the mess hall, and oh yes, almost forgot, around the bend from the NCO club. Some of these guys worked in the HF vans, the rest of us were in FM. If any of you guys are still kicking give me a ring on the e-mail.

Kimpo - June '51

Comments: Steve Galaida and I were there when Bedcheck Charlie damaged kitchen and outside tables. We both rotated to the States soon after the attack, about June 20th. We were both from New Jersey. Before this tour, he and I got to the States when the North Koreans invaded. We had just come back from a tour in Alaska -- one year isolation duty. It was the 632nd AC&W Squadron that was in Alaska. When the Korean War broke out, we were on a ship going to Seattle. In the following weeks, we were assigned to the 606th AC&W. He and I went on the advance party in August and 15 of us flew to Japan. After 3 days in Japan, we flew to South Korea. We also received from President Truman the good news of a one year extension on our enlistment, which qualified us for a Korean tour. We also went up to North Korea in November 1950 and we set up the radar site. As soon as we accomplished that the Chinese entered the war and we left everything on the hill and were ordered back to Pyongyang and Seoul where we stayed before we went further south. Would like to hear from anyone who remembers me or my buddy.

Assignment Limitation

Comments: Would like to hear from 606th veterans who --- Served in Korea in 1951 and 1952 and --- Were still on active duty thru 1953 and --- Who have a copy of their 201 file.

I was attached to 606th from Mar 1951 to Mar 1952. As a result, my records contain a restriction on involuntary reassignment to Far East Air Force Projects. At this point it is no big deal, but my curiosity is enough that I may yet go to the archives at Montgomery AFB.

If you meet the three criteria above and have copy of your 201 file, you might save me a trip!!!

Any help will b appreciated.

606th Web Page

Comments: I am trying to find the full history of the 606th. I was a part of the re-activated 606th in Bremerhaven Germany. You can check out the web page at www.606tcs.com. If you could help me with more history to add to the page it would sure be appreciated. Also, if anyone is hunting other 606ers I can add that to the page also.

Thanks in advance Jerry Harrell

Veteran of 606th AC&W Squadron

Comments: I served with the 606th from June 52 - June 53. I am an African American who was in radio maintenance and worked out of the FM Radio Vans. I remember monitoring the transmissions between our Radar controllers and the pilots flying out of Kimpo. Really don't remember any names of others, but do remember certain experiences...Bed check Charlie, Korean Funeral in back of our tent area. I remember we had a liitle dog mascot, which was accidently shot one night by one of our air policeman. Would love to hear from anyone that might remember me or other events during that period. Upon leaving Korea,I was assigned to Pope AFB in North Carolina, and was detached to Seymour Johnson AB. Discharged in Feb 55. Stayed out for 7 years, reenlisted in 1962, worked in Ground Radar Maintenance, retired in 1980.

Can anyone out there confirm? Thanks. John Good
