Echo Co. 40th Armor Imjim Ghost Referred by: Surfing Comments: When we got on the old west days train at Inchon and we were brushing the straw on the roofs of the hooches. Then checking out all those good looking ladies.I thought what did I do to deserve this. I didn't realize at that time that I would grow up and learn more in the next year than I would in any other year of my life. I wouldn't trade my tour in Korea for nothing. After we got to the compound. my first job was as the loader on a M48a2c Med.Tank. It wasn't hardly a month and I was moved up to being the drive. After about three months our SFC tank commander rotated and they didn't have a replacement. I was the ranking PFC on the tank so guess what job I got. I was only there for about two months and we got a 2nd leut. for a new TC. Lt. Luff .We all called him fuzz. He even heard us once and didn't say anything. Everyone thats been there knows those girls I mentioned get prettier and prettier the longer you are there. The worst of our tour was when we sat on top of a mountain for nine days wondering if we were going to war. That was the year the cease fire was up and the cuban blockade was going on at the same time. Well I hope some guys I was there with sees this and contacts me tks. R.D.
