I started my flying at Stanton after the cobra course flying G model gunships
for C Troop. Arrived Sept of 79 and left June81. I loved flying and just being
their. Spent three more tours in Korea with D Troop, B Troop and 1/2 Attack
Battalion. The locations changed over the tours but Camp Stanton will always
reside in my memories as a great post. Garry Owen!

Long time ago, but still remember -

The infamous "Sin Son Nee road march" 12 drunk Troopers with
polished boots, spurs, and stetsons ONLY (naked), marching
down through the vill singing Cav songs.

The artillery simulator dropped down the chimney of the
Oclub, right behind the Korean drummer, late one Saturday night.

The "alert" at 0200 hrs one Saturday night (seriously?),
launch everything? How many beers have you had? 4 Ok, your
the pilot in command, help me get this guy into your front
seat, and CRANK, NOW!.

Mr Kim, bartender at the Oclub, a Korean Special Forces
soldier during the Korean War, 5 ft 11 in and looked like he
could crush a VW with his bare hands.

The night 2 Troop Cdrs and the Squadron Cdr got alittle lit,
collected all the empty beer bottles in the club and started
throwing them at the wind indicator on top of the control
tower - "anti aircraft practice"

We tried to get 8th Army to build us a gym and they built
us.......a Class 6 store.

Some guy had his wife over for a couple of months and they
got "hinkey" one night on the 5000 gl blivet in the FARRP,
in front of 50 or 60 guys.

Good times...no wonder I'm warped.

Went back in '90 for a tour with 1/2 Attack at Camp
Laguardia in Uijongbu, just wasn't the same.

I was at Cp Stanton 78-79 (February to February). I may have mentioned
different dates before. But I was wrong if so... I just found my old DA FORM
2-1 and so confirmed I was there one year this period above I state. I'm
pretty certain I was in D-Troop. I think 3rd Plt (A/C Maint Plt). I remember
electrician James P Murphy as him and I ran pretty hard off duty in the
ville.
I think another Dennis Curran (sp?) was avionics. Kennedy was flt ops
(under tower maybe he was a scheduler for flt crews..). I actually met
Kennedy in Yongsan few years on... when I was back in Korea me then
stationed 213th Aviation Co Cp Humphreys. Yep, Kennedy was enlisted
when I knew him 2nd ID and when I met him Yongsan was a WO pilot... My
later part of tour at Stanton our Top was a man w a handle bar mustache or
just about... Real tough colorful guy! Maybe this later Top wasn't a army
schooled 1st Sgt but no matter I remember having a great respect for
handle bar 'stach Top. When I first got there I remember a Puerto Rican
guy Sola I think... Maybe he was Maint Plt also, but I think when I knew him
he was the first Tops orderly rm clerk... Well, maybe a Park and Kim
(KATUSA) buddies and you'd say which Park and Kim... One Puerto Rican
guy I knew I forget his name but was on the short side of height but solid
strong guy I think went SF trng... He did go that ROK SF week long course
then I think he went for US Army SF school outta A/C Maint MOS. My Plt
Sgt name I can't remember but, kind a jolly looking guy kind of fat side and
maybe thinning hair... I was Hydro, my MOS. Yep, UH-1H, AH-1G, OH-58.
Lots of 12 mile road march wasn't it once monthly I think... Team Spirit(s)
for me... 2-3 mile I think was usual just about daily or at least 3X wk
PT...
Few X we did like 5 mile run... Or at least once for five when our whole ---
was it Battalion or Brigade?--- ran every swinging dick that was able did
that run ... KATUSAs had a Tae Kwon Do trng... I taught a English
conversation class. We had a General who? at Cp Casey wore pearl
handle I think was 1911(s)? Maybe he had two or was it one? My tour a few
wire strikes and I think two crews w these strikes fatal... Two or one I
remember maybe was AHs w the electr cable in I guess I'd call it horizontal
stabilizer or anyway stuck between a flt surface but still the one or so
choppers made it back... Who what when where why else... Well, I can't
think much more to say here is a lot already I'll stop to say except close w
...I remember Delta Blues Inf Plt thanks guys as well as pilots and crew
who would have helped protected our asses if the shit hit the fan... Write
here if anything here makes sense to you, thanks! Anyone for the arms
guard duty? You wish you had an overnight pass or even a day pass.
Yonjugol! Cp Rice club! KATUSA snack bar w ramen and soju... It's an
umpteenth Alert Mofo so Recall! Gary Owen/Pil Sung/if you ain't Cav you
ain't shit/2nd to None!
