wasn't stationed at the dmz, but was just south of osan, in onjan ri/camp Humphreys. it was cold there, but spent 2wks further up north at TA Tom and Jerry for a field problem during the winter and it was COLDDD!!!!!!, especially being rite on the river.
Yeah Korea is a cold.. Cold place. I was JSA (joint security area). What unit where you in? Even though it was cold as $hit I had a good time when we got a chance to head south. I got to spend a couple days around osan when I was heading back to the states.
A 2/52 avn 8th army. U yanks would head south for fun n us johnny rebs would go north for fun. It wasnt to bad of a place, but aint a place i would bolunteer to go back to, even as a civilian.
I had just gotten back from my first tour in iraq, 4 months later i get wind of coming down on orders for somewhere. I call da n talk to my branch manager n he said korea. I ask for any deploying units, he said ft riley ks, i said put me there. I would rather eat sand n smell a camels a$$ than smell that stinkn kemchi n rotten a$$ kagogi farms. I do though truely miss me a big bowl of kagogi n rice/noodles but 20,000 wan per bowl, i only ate it 3x a wk
Yeah well when you're that far north there is no where but south to go. Being on an all male post working 20 days on and 4 days off. Us infantry guys would have a blast on a 4 day pass to Seoul.
