At Casey with 7th I D, 7th Admin, from 12/68-2/70. Last month in a new 3 story barracks. Rest of time the quonsets both for living and offices. Those fuel oil heaters.
God Bless America 🇺🇸 My mother was adopted during the conflict by an American soldier and his wife. My grandfather was U.S. Army 2nd Battalion 76th Artillery camp St.Barbara Korea 67-68. Thank you all 🙏🏽 🇺🇸🇰🇷 I would not be here today if it wasn’t for United States Army 🧡💛.
Yes ... was there in 67 at the Ed Center ... it has been turned back to the ROKs and the Katusa have all had to go back to roughing it. The village dried up and moved away for the most part. The girls are all grown old by now! Ha
I was at Salem relay site for all of 1969. We had a site dog but no road up to the site (had to walk up from base camp, about a 90 minute hike), that wasn't bad because it kept most officers away from us. It helped that they all were 26 miles away in Taegu Your photo's brought back a lot of memories.
Was with the 2nd ID in 72 on DMZ. I remember the diesel fired space heaters in that terrible cold! Hot as hell in the summer and unbelievable cold in the winter. Also the stink of kimchi everywhere.
Chuck! What a delight to find you on RU-vid. Maybe you will remember me, I was the mechanic that arrived around Aug 68 and ran the ASA motor pool. It was so great to see you and some of the guys. Some names come to me and some don't. I'm Mike "Moto Oshi" Osher. I think you left about 3 months after I arrived. All those pictures brought back lots of memories. All in all we had good service over there. Email me. Mike
Hi Mike, Just saw your comments. Well we sure did beat up a lot of trucks and generators. Perhaps it was you, I do remember someone from the motor pool coming to Hwaaksan to service our generators. Never a plesent job in the winter. Also, out of nowhere a memory just popped into my mind. One of us returned a 3/4 ton truck with an electronics office on it to the Co A motor pool. Whoever it was decided to drive the truck through the river adjacent to Co A rather than wash it. All would have been well except he was spotted by brass at the activity center accross the river. It was a tall skinny guy, but of course we were all skinny back then. Chuck Stengel
I am glad you enjoyed the memories. The slides were in my attic for years and I wanted to share them. If you have any slides we can probably post them here as well. Do you have any contact info other than Joe G and Ralph R? Chuck cstengel@comcast.net
Hi Chuck. Your pics really take me back. I was in the 377th Med Co near Bu Pyong. We had one Huey for med evacs although it looked different than the Huey in one of your pics. The quonset huts and fuel oil space heaters really brought back some memories also. Thanks! I've got several hundred color slides from those days and I'd have a hard time telling your pics from mine.
john baughman Hi John, I was cleaning out my attic when I decided to create the slideshow. It gave me an opportunity to share my experience with my family. Perhaps you would consider a similar project. Recently I have been using a a product called Pro Show Gold which is pretty easy to use a yeilds excellent results. Go for it. I promise to watch. Good luck and thank you for your nice comment
Hey troopers, great memories. I think karma brought me to this utube vid… my wife and I recently moved and while packing I came across my Camp Hovey album. Ironic huh? Was a lot of fun sharing with the grandkids. Then I come across this vid. I was assigned to Headquarters, 1st of 32d Infantry from 1966-1967. The vids sure dust off some old memories. Nice job in putting the vid together. Hope all is well out there.
I was in the 1/23 Battalion Recon Platoon Camp Young, 66-67. I am looking for those I served with. John Batty-Sylvan, President, Second Infantry Division Association.
