Just wrote a book on the patrolling phase of the dmz mission time period coverd is 84-86 when I was with 1/38th inf. up on the (Z)it's mainly about preperation, rehersals,inspection and exacution of the patrol, not to mention doing the patrol inside the dmz it self and other fun stuff about patrolling inside the dmz and living at warrior base (tent city)and the kind of mental climate we endured while pulling the mission. the book is in editing as I type and I am going to try and put some pictures in of the sector where I pulled my patrols this is a ture story but I had to change the names of the patol members, the book also discribes the area north of the river too. Hope it brings back some good memories of the (Z) I had 385 patrols and spent 10 years in the ROK from 78 to 91 most of the time was with 2ID, but did a tour with the JSA, I even have my old patrol leaders map with all the recons and ambushies on it and the brivity codes, also have a lot of pictures and propaganda. well enough about that hope everyone that see this wil be interested. so long for now.
Keep the faith brothers

I just wrote a book about the dmz mission that the U.S. army pulled inside the DMZ ( the patrolling phase ) the book is based on one of the three huindred and eighty five patrols I pulled while preformining the DMZ mission.The book is only about ninity pages long and deals with the inner working of the patrol like preperation, rehersals, inspections, and exacution of the patrol inside the DMZ not to menition the living quarters and enviorment in which we had to cope with and a discription of the area north of the river and warrior base and the sector in which I pulled my patrols in. The book should be published very soon it is currently in eidting so bare with me i will keep you guys informed.
