Comments: Arrived K-18 Kangnung with 18th Replacement Draft on board that pig sty transports Gordon, debarked Kobe, Japan, next day flown to K-18..
Would like to hear from other members of 18th Draft, and members of HqSq-12, from March 1952 to, April 1953..
I was an S-2 clerk, MOS 7011, and knew lots of guys in the Communications shack, and S-3 Operations.
Also pulled one month of guard duty at K-6..
On the return home, we were aboard a Navy transport, USS Randle (I think), at which time, there was a punk wiseguy sailor who seemed to delight in trying to get Staff NCOs and sgts to man their brooms, and chip paint...
Needless to say, he was very unsuccessful.
Hope to hear from an veterans of either MAG 12 or 18th draft.

Comments: Does anyone know the whereabouts of Lt. Col. R. J. Holm, or Col. A. W. Fisher.? We're talkin 1955 time. Col. Holm was C. O. of VMA 251 in late 1954 and 1955. Col Fisher was Base Commander at that time. I will never forget Col. Fisher.
When my tour was over, and we were gathering at base operations waiting for an R4Q or an R4D to fly us to Japan, on 1 January 1956, a vehicle drove up at base ops, before sunup, and Col. Fisher came into the shack and shook hands with every man there, and said he was proud to have served with us.
How many people have you known like that since then, military or civilian?

Comments: I am looking for any information on my Dad's tour
in Korea I don't know much as he died when I was very young. His name is, Louis Fredrick Ege; Staff Sargent USMC; service #1117317; Aircraft Engineering Squad 12; he was in Korea from 12/51 to 12/52. I don't know anything else so any information would be greatly appreceated no matter how trivial it may seem to you it would help, I don't even know where he did basic training! My son is 18 now and he and my neices and nephews want to know more about their grandfather.
Thank you in advance for your help

Comments: Served in SMS-12 from October 1950 thru
September 1951. Was Aircraft Armorer and
was initially stationed at Itami, Japan, and was
transferred to "El Besero" (the "little Bull')
for initial strikes from that location in
December, 1950.El Besero was located just north
of Pusan. I've never heard any comments about
this base, which was a "namesake" of El Toro.I
then operated from numerous re-arming/fueling
strips in Hoengsong and Yongdongpo and a couple
others that I never knew the location of.
I was a "retread" recalled to active duty.

Comments: I was in Mag-12 from about 04-01-52 to about
04-01-53 in the communications shack as a
CW radio operator. For awhile assisgned to HQ
SQDR and then another squadron but I don't recall
the name (I think it was something like Service
Sqdr) through a reorg but no job change.
I do remember that Jerry Coleman, 2nd baseman for
the NY Yankees was there at the time flying an
F4U Corsair for VMA-323. I have been in touch
with him since then as I had a picture of his
plane (# 8) loaded with bombs before he crashed
on take-off that I wanted to pass on to him.
He is now the announcer for the San Diego Padres baseball team. Hope this can be of some help.
