I was in Korea in Mechanized Infantry units in 1970-71. First I was in 1st of the
17th, 7th Division, who went through a rif while I was there, from 50,000 troops,
as I understand it, to 30,000. 7th Division was deactivated. Many people went
home, but I had too long left on my tour, so I was transferred to 2nd of the
138th, 2nd Division. Because so many officers were short timers, and transferred
to the USA for discharge, I was promoted (I guess) to Company Commander at some
point. My unit guarded Libby bridge in the winter of 70-71.

I was in BLV, Aug, 68, until Sept. 69, it was a beautiful place in the summer
time, but cold as the anarchic in the winter. I made a lot of good friends in
korea, I really hated when my tour was up. If I had the opportunity, I would love
to go back.

Good to hear from you, Barry Olsan. Yes, Blue Lancer Valley was the hidden gem.
I loved that tour, but I froze in the winter. The DMZ was the most peaceful place
I have ever been except for certain times. It was the Garden of Eden, but with
two-legged ants that carried PPS/PPSK rifles.

I remember being in BLV on July 4, 1968 and seeing some great fireworks that
night. The real fireworks were up on the DMZ, where our unit 2/38th Inf saw
some action between 1967-69. Served in C Company as a Patrol Leader with Lt.
Darrell Pickett.

time I was made BN commander's driver for the 12th Cavalry. I drove for Lt.
Col. Shaw. I returned to the states on Nov 23, 1963. When I arrived in the
US, I was discharged from the Army.

I know it has been a long time since I was an infantry on the DMZ but now that
I am older and see the job we were doing getting attention it started me
thinking that all those cold nights on the barrier. It seems funny that the
things that are important to me now are the patches DMZ Scout badge, the arm
band with DMZ Police in Korean and English, if anyone can assist me in my
search I would be thankful and stay out of the kimpshi club

I was TDY (with no orders) to Blue Lancer Valley as the
driver for the ambulance supplied by Co. B, 2nd Medical
Battalion from May, 1968 through most of February, 1969. I
worked as a Corpsman with both the 2/38th and 1/23rd in the
BLV Dispensary and provided medical transport as required.
On occasion, I would be sent across the Imjin in support of
the units who had rotates north to the DMZ. I shared a hutch
with the medical support team, including several KATUSAs,
and worked with a bunch of great guys. I don't miss the
stifling summer heat, or the winter cold, though. Be well,
brothers.

Hello again,

I am back with some of the same info from my last posting
and a few new things that may help some of you help me
identify what company I was with from June 1962 - July
1963:
CO Cpt. Frank Underwood - 1st Sgt Rodrigeus
81mm Section Leader, Sgt. Delgado. Other Company members
were Nathan Ski Kilowski,Pisano. My hutch was on a
ridgeline and at the bottom of a long stairway was the
bathroom / showers. The other company facilities were all
on that same level, Mess Hall, Orderly Room, etc! one last
item, during that year I passed the exam for an Expert
Infantry Badge.

I am sure that I was stationed at Camp Blue Lancer Valley
from June of 62 to July 63. I remember the lay out of the
camp, and the Village of Nullo-ri.I am fairly certain that
I was in the 5th or 12th Cav; probably the 12tth Cav. But I
can't remember the companies designation, although Frank
Underwood was company commander,the 1st Sgt. was Rodrigues,
and Sgt Delgado was the section leader of the 81mm Mortar
Section. T was the FDC. I also rememeber other guys from the
company; Kolowski (I think), Nathan, and Pisano. Does anyone
remember Lucey from Nullo-ri?
