Was Aircraft Armorer and was initially stationed at Itami, Japan, and was transferred to "El Besero" (the "little Bull') for initial strikes from that location in December, 1950.El Besero was located just north of Pusan. I've never heard any comments about this base, which was a "namesake" of El Toro.I then operated from numerous re-arming/fueling strips in Hoengsong and Yongdongpo and a couple others that I never knew the location of. I was a "retread" recalled to active duty. Semper-Fi..Ed Sauer GySgt / 0911/6519 Keywords: "El Besero"
