Thank you. I was at Camp KaiserDMZ with the 7th, 17th Inf , then to Camp Casey, 7th iD 31st Inf I too went by ship to Inchon, then by train to Casey, then truck north to Kaiser. I was there from May 61 till Aug 62, then Ft BENNING. Enjoying your presentations.and thank you for your service!
Bob Semrow, 7th M.P. Co., Camp Casey, 1964-1965. That was a great job, brought back lots of memories like the guard house with the fuel oil heater that you couldn't keep primed and the building was so small all you could do was stomp those good ole Mickey mouse boots to keep feet from freezing. So where did I decide to live my sunset years...Montana where the temperatures rival Korea but without Mickey Mouse boots ! 😕
I was born April 21 1959 in Dongducheon . My Mother was Sook young Park not sure of her spelling and the guy was an American soldier stationed at Casey. His first name must have been Tom or Tommy. That's all I know of him. He must have been there between 58 and 59 I'm guessing since most servicemen do 1 year hardship rotation tours and I was born in 59. Been trying to contact anyone who might have an idea who he might have been or anything. I realize the odds are worse then trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Was there a missile site near Campy Hovey or Camp Casey. My father in law was stationed in Korea from 65 to 67 guarding missile sites. Trying to get a Camp name. Were there camps closer to the DMZ?
That's amazing, basically the same thing happening to both of us. Although I thought that only the Recon Platoons where road guards. We had to have all that extra training to be able to say "turn left here"
Camp Coiner Seoul Korea 181 st Signal Photo Unit 63-64 would like to send article on Our jeep that was shot up by N K..down chopper, etc NK SK skirmishes killings etc bad memories age 18..
I too was in Korea in 1964 camp hovey. I was sent to co. B 1st battalion 32nd infantry with a mos of personnel clerk when I arrived the commanding officer said why would they send you here. I was assigned here for 13 months mostly guard duty since they had no use for my mos. I to was left behind. We were at the DMV doing military exercises. After breaking camp for some reason or another there wasn't, enough vehicles to pull an ammunition trailer back to home base. I was told to guard the trailer and they come back to pick me up. It was twi-light. As darkness came it started to snow and got colder, luckily I had back pack / with sleeping bag after several I hours I knew they forgot me. So I took my sleeping bag put on of ammunition trailer climbed in with my m-14 rifle zipped up and fell asleep around 6:00am I hear my name being called frantically covered with snow I un-zipped my co said sorry we forgot all about you. Moral of story don,t a personnel clerk mos to an infantry company compensation 3 day pass to Seoul, s korea. By the way our company won the8th army touch football championship. I was the quarterback but we had a great defense. Just saying.
Hey Dennis, great to hear from you. Seems like there was a lot of that being left behind stuff going around. I don't think we ever carried sleeping bags with us. If we did they must have been tied onto our scout jeeps. Do you remember the EM Club up on the hill? .25 cents for mixed drinks, put a dollar down and get 4 at a time. If I remember right, if you were walking toward the EM club, our company would have been the last one on the left, across fro the motor pool.
Thank you.

I guess you would have been about 5 when I was there, did you live in Dongducheon at that age?
Was there a missile site near Campy Hovey or Camp Casey. My father in law was stationed in Korea from 65 to 67 guarding missile sites. Trying to get a Camp name. Were there camps closer to the DMZ?
No missile sites Near Camp Hovey or Camp Casey that I know of. But there were camps up by the DMZ.
Ya, no sites near Casey or Hovey or DMZ. Sites were south of Casey on hill tops near US camp but cannot remember name. Believe camp was I Corp.
It's me again, I was also left behind as a road guard, took them until the next day to find me. A Korean family took care of me until they came.
