Hooah! Pics From Korea

Published on October 17, 2004 By chiprj In Blogging

Yeah, I'm bored today. It's after the second football game and the ALCS hasn't started just yet. So, here are a some pictures from my first tour to Korea.

These pics are from the week we spent down in Taegu. Our Platoon Leader (usually a 2nd LT position) was a West Point grad CPT (talk about taking it in the shorts) and was a bit of a jerk. He made us act as if the 'deployment' was under exercise rules. During the drive down and back, we had to be in full battle-rattle. We weren't allowed to pack civilian clothes and we had to sleep in our PT uniforms. I wrote a bit about this deployment in my second article here at JU. Here it is - I now have 35 points.... There's a pretty funny story (at least I think so) about myself and Different Hanja there.

This picture was taken on the flight line (a place where we were forbidden from even having a camera - Breakin' the law, breakin' the law). It's me in front of our aircraft.

This next one is a group pic. I'm the guy holding the weird antenna. The guy with the shiny CPT rank was our platoon leader. The guy kind of behind him on the other side of me is Different Hanja. The woman in the front on the other side of Different Hanja is LilLisaBrownNose (if you went and read the story I linked, you'd know).

All the time I spent in that god-damned unit and I am pretty sure I was never in any of the pics:)

Maybe unit pics, but the walls of Companion Club tell a different story...

No, no, I didn't say anything about being in drag in the ROK... I said taking my pet rock for a drag... there's a difference and there's no photographic evidence to prove otherwise...

There's no photographic evidence to prove that there's a difference? Wha?

There's no photographic evidence of a bunch of guys trying to dress a passed-out greywar up in the dress he kept in his closet, but he tells that story as well.

Hmm, rocks, drag, this could turn out to be a very interesting thread. I will keep a close eye on it.
