JIM FORADAS wrote on October 14, 2005 City and State: HOUSTON TX Unit: DAD'S UNIT WAS 934TH TAC Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: I Recently found out my dad George was nicknamed Custer while at the 934th TAC detachment at Seoul University. Dad was a Philco tech rep (acting rank of Captain) attached to the 934th TAC between Oct 1950 to Summer 1951. I've started oral history of dad's experiences there, but have learned more about his experience he hasn't shared from a former sniper (now a retired sergeant major)that was then attached to unit security. Dad has told me about Col Clark's train set and the shot glasses on the flat cars, and about his three chaplain roomates (a Rabbi, Protestant and Catholic), interactions with the local chief of Police and his family to get help going up and down the mountain between campuses to service the antennas. Seems sharing tobacco helped. It is my understanding you guys used scavenged trolley cable wires on wood frames to power antennas due to lack of insulated cable. Snipers and F-80s kept the power line secure. Dad also taught transmission in morse - i think he said you had to send 22 five digit words a minute? Anyway, he's 82 now so I get what I can. Does anyone else remember Custer? Please feel free to share good and bad experiences. I'm a trained ethnohistorian not a revisionist historian, so tell it like it was please. I want to understand my father's experiences there and share them with my son and daughter when they grow older. Please E-mail me -- Custer's oldest son.

I was returning from peace camp to Seoul, I somehow got sidetracked and ended up on the side of a Korean hill with a platoon of the third division, which one I do not remember. I do remember returning to it on thanksgiving day with as many goodies as I could carry in my jeep. I also remember a young colored boy (black) now, about my age, by the nickname of bebop whom I have often wondered about and tried to find. I also have tried to find all the words to: IT WAS THE NITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND ALL THROUHT THE TENT WAS THE ODOR OF FUEL OIL THE STOVE PIPE WAS BENT WHEN UPON THE HILL THERE AROSE SUCH A CLATTER A CHINESSE MACHINE GUN HAD STARTED CHARRER IT CONTINUES WITH THE PLT SGT CALLING HIS MEN, BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REMEMBER ALL OF IT.
