Phantom , nice to hear from someone who was there on the "Z" and did ROK Ranger also...i was on the "Z" summer of 85 and ROK Ranger in fall..i remember hooking up my d ring backwards or something and geting punched in stomach by a ROK instructor..nothing bad.just a wake up stupid hit to revive my memory so i wouldnt kill myself when i went off the side of the cliff...also remember them making us get into the water..then roll in the sand to get it in every crack at the begining of the day so we were miserable the rest of the day..lol..and doing exercises in some shallow water on the last day in our underwear freezing..then we had to walk up to the top of the mountain barefoot and do the slide for life into the lake...i hit the water so hard it felt like a twoXfour went up my ass!!!!  lol...anyway i loved my times in korea especially the "Z" and would never forget these memories...I do not know the guy your talking about sounds like he left 325 as i got there....as far as Trench fight??/   i do remember the Turtle ditches is that what your talking about???/?

Freezing water at zero dark thirty, humping up the mountain barefoot just to slide the slide for life the hole time thinking this aint shit and laughing with a US Ranger LT about doing the duck walk for what seems like miles. Punched in the stomach by a ROk ranger YEP little bastard hit me with a stick because I took the rope climb with arms only during the obstical course and the whole time he was yelling about American GI's allways showing off and thinking we're better then them "HELL YA". Man those were the days and I wouldn't trade them for nothing. Do you remeber the Buda monk living on the side of the mountain? crazy.

Hooah! The trench fight was basically a big ass ditch, lined with tires, where we engaged in squad vs squad hand to hand, maybe it was a way to get a little in on the USGI's since the "RI's" took it so "easy" on us... They may have added that after you were there.. I remember one ROK got the sh!t beat out of him for pulling out his girlfriend's picture to look at.. anything they dished out to US was a whole lot easier...

I think you're full of shit personally.  Unass my AO you POSER!  You've obviously been hanging out with LRRSturd!  Just kiddin'.  Seriously, with the unfortunate proliferation of posers and wannabes in our society it has become almost a necessity to verify folks these days.  I don't take it personally when it happens to me, only AFTER I've spewed my 201 file and people still talk junk.  I'll be more than happy to fax anyone my DD214 to any naysayers.  FIDO! (that's F**k it, Drive on in english)

Hey Michael good see you to!!!

(Will The Real POSER please stand up) Dam I'm found out again! you dam paratroopers can pick out a poser in a minute,nothing and I mean nothing gets by you brainiacs. I guess I'll just change my name and start over just to see how long it takes for one of you badasses to catch me again,shit this is the 5th time this month I've had to change ID's and sneak back in. Hell that sounded to dam good it makes me start wondering myself I better go read my DD214 again to make sure I'm me. maybe we should make it mandatory to post copies of DD214 just so we weed out the real POSERs.

You owed every month to ya say, makes me feel better knowing someone else in the military drank there checks before getting them and not just me LOL. And ya man I would love to be able to do what I used to be able to do, there was a day I could push dirt for hours now it seems the only dirt I'm pushing is the dirt the HH6 keeps trying to push over my early grave I don't remember the ditches other then the ones I to fell into a few times at the farm. there was a town up north called yongeego or something like that me and my bros would head to anytime we had a overnight, there was an old lady with no teeth anyone remember her, dam GI's lined up 20 deep waiting for her services every fri and saturday night, crazy times man.

Yeah Pointman, you guys had the easy walk on post. Not like us guys up the hill, I got to walk part way down the hill after PT for breakfast and back up, got to walk down to near where you guys were on the west side to go to work, walk up and then down the north side to get the truck, walk up to eat, then down, walk up then down the east side to get to the rec center or helipad (unless I was picking someone up, then I got to go down the north side to pick up the truck to drive them), up the hill to eat dinner and way down the hill to go out the gate, and the climb back up after a trip to the ville was REALLY fun.. remember that we had a ditch that ran from the guard shack all the way along the fence.

The first place I remember most of the guys heading was the very first shop on the right to the right, "ol'Freddy" was always good for just about anything from 10,000 to 100,000 won, but almost no one bought anything in his shop, he'd just loan it out, write your name down, and expect it back after payday with interest.

Yon-ju-gol was the name of the town you are trying to remember.
Bong-il chon was what every one called the town right out the front gate (or just "Bong") but it was really made up of several smaller villes...
