I was standing in line in the post office and struck up a conversation with a fellow who said he was in the 607th I forgot which det. he said I believe he said det. 3,anyhow he said they were over run and he was taken prisoner. Is there anyone out there who might have any knowledge about this or remember Enrique San Miguel. I would like to here from someone. Thanks, Richard

Comments: I arrived at Yamato Air Station in Japan in Mar. of '56 and was sent to Osan-nee, Korea to a 607th AC and W site. Our call sign was "Green Horn". We were a few miles from Osan, Korea.
During the year I was there I worked as a radar operator, operated the DF site and filled in for the mailman for a short period when he had to go home due to a death in his family. I am trying to locate some of the guys who were stationed there at the same time or anyone for that matter who was there during '56/'57.
The guys I am looking for are Jack D. Whatley from Dade City Fla., Bill Huget from Madison Wisc., George Ball from Ft. Smith, Ark., James Parker from S. Carolina and/or Jim Mullinix from Baton Rouge, LA.
I came home in early '57 on the MSTS ship, the Gen. Hugh J. Gaffey.
Any help would be appreciated.

Comments: I arrived at 607th in Mar 1952 on my 1st
assignment out of Radar School. In fact it seemed
about a dozen of my classmates arrived with me.
Some of their names...James Mitchell, Glenn
Walden(what a comedian)!..Comer Stringer, Stueve,
Sparr, Newton, Merrill. The Radar Maint. officer
was Lt. Eby and C and E Officer was Capt. Pennington.
The NCOIC of Radar was M/Sgt Smith.
Cpt Pennington was pointing out to his boss an
arc in the Radar Transmitter one day and was
severely shocked by the arc. M/Sgt Gordon Smith
then was credited with saving his life by giving
him APR. I remember a 6X going off the side of the
mountain and injuring several. We were allowed 2 R and R
trips during the year. My friend Mitchell and I went
2 times to Nagoya Japan. When we finished our tour
in Korea, the same guys who accompanied me to
607th were all sent to Tyndall AFB, Panama City,
Fl to complete
