City and State: CARLSBAD CA

Unit: 569 MED CO AMBULANCE SOUTH KOREA

Service or Relationship: Army, draftee

Comments: Enjoyed my military experience, even tho i was drafted...had dropped out of college after first yr.
Became spec 4 quickly. Oversaw supply room of 560th med co, even tho i wasnt yet a spec 5, or buck sgt. I took care of property book; CO (Capt Haddican....sp?) wrote me a letter of commendation 😉 after i discovered our co. was required to have one more vehicle.
A staff sgt was assigned to the supply office. He didnt give a rat's patootie about much of anything, except 'how can i reduce my responsibilities?'.
Anyhoo, made friends with Korean college kids my age. Visited their schools, met some of their families, attended the largest (at that time) presbyterian church in the world with several student friends.
I didnt drive much. Most interesting was assisting Seoul police and medics to meet a train filled with many injured due to a train wreck. First and only time i transported a deceased person.
Best thing about serving was G.I. Bill. I used it to obtain a master's degree in music, which sooner than later got me a job as realty appraiser with San Diego county assessor. You know, decide how much taxes are appropriate for a newly built structure, whether sfd, office building, etc. etc. ad nausem 😄. I'm 75 now (retired since age 60), happily married 53 yrs, 3 kids, 2 married; ergo, 4 gkids, one on order for october 😅🤣
We live in carlsbad ca, a sort of deep- pockets well run little city. We live in an 850sf 2/2/2 in a gated family community. Will likely kick the ol' proverbial bucket here. All fer now. Later, 🐊🐊🐊

Service or Relationship: US Army

Comments: Appreciated my 15 mo. duty with 560 medical company ambulance in yongsan korea.
Two good COs. I was assigned clerical duty in the supply room, keeping track of vehicles, weapons, and other gear our company was required to possess according to the property book.
Two of us found Korean college student friends with whom we enjoyed weekends, traveling around Seoul, visiting their families and schools.
While the experience helped me grow, i was granted an early out (released from active duty) to return to the U.S.
Only other assignment was playing soldier in the U.S. desert one summer. Silly, didnt accomplish anything. Goofed off in a tank, swam in the afternoon, risque movies at night.
Best payback was G.I Bill, which paid all of my college yrs through to a Master's degree.
If you want some good experience and good bennies, join the US Army.

Comments: I was working with other women at 560th. Our small base was almost compromised in 1975 when I was there. I remember well the commotion down at the front Gate. I later was restationed at the 121st Evac Hospital in Youngson in Seoul. Cindy was my roommate just before I left the 13 month tour. I think she worked in other then a medical MOS...but I am not too clear now about her duty job.

Service or Relationship: Army Veteran

Comments: I was assigned to the 560th ambulance unit from 1992 to 1993. I was rotated out on temporary assignment to Camp Edwards and Camp Red Cloud. While at CRC a fellow soldier and friend was killed in a hit and run right outside the Camp Edwards gate while going to the ville to celebrate his birthday. He had been diagnosed with stage four colon cancer several months before but had opted to stay in Korea and finish his tour. He had one week before he was heading home. I'm trying to find any information on the date he was killed. I didn't find out for at least two weeks. I've tried searching it with no luck. He didn't go by his last name which was Neal/Neil, first name Gary. Any help would be much appreciated. Every year around September this hits me hard. More so now because my ex sister in law who I'm very close with has stage four colon cancer that has spread to her lungs. I need to know exactly when he died so I can grieve properly and not for the entire season. Again many thanks.

City and State: SALINAS CA

Unit: 560TH MEDICAL COMPANY AMBULANCE

Service or Relationship: Army Veteran

Comments: My name is Jim Murphy. I was a SP4, 91B20, stationed
at Camp Mosier from March 73 to May 74. I pulled many
shifts at the 43rd, transported patients from the
3077th on the hill down to the 43rd, and drove many,
many miles in those ambulances transporting patients
to and from the 2nd and 7th Infantry Division
outlying camps to the 43rd for treatment. I still
remember the giant blown up photo of the cast of the
TV series M*A*S*H* that hung on the wall just in back
of the ER counter. The ambulance company was located
at the south end of the compound. We always had the
ambulances lined up just past the last row of quonset
huts so they were ready to roll at a moments notice.
We worked, played, ate and slept in those quonset
huts and drove the wheels off those old ambulances. I
also served at Camp Howard and Camp Humphreys for
short periods. At Humphreys we ran new Dodge vans. I
still remember those Korean winters as being
absolutely bone chilling cold. Rosie's may have
turned out to be famous but I really don't remember
it being all that much fun ... and that OB beer was
barely drinkable. Just in case your health may be
starting to wane, as mine is, I've learned that the
Army has admitted to utilzing Agent Orange, as well
as other dioxin based compounds, all around the DMZ
from '68 to '71.

This was in l974. I have lost track of the guys I served with but now my son has joined in U. S. Army last November 2003 and is in basic training at FT Jackson, SC. Now I am reliving my days in the army again.
