Hi Guys, this topic brings back a few memories for
me. Stationed at K-14 ( Camp Humpreys) back in 67 I was
responsible for the old shed by the new Listening building..
Warrant officer said clean this place up... and I did, Throwing
out about a hundred top and bottom covers for the 390 and a 's
Loaded them in to a duce and drove out of the camp and found
a junk dealer ( no problem then) . I think he gave me about 100 Won
or a six-pack of OB. (UGH), Can't remember... It always amazed me
what the Koreans could do with scrape metal..... Beer can roofs that
really showed out in the Sun, etc. Boy, I sure wish I had that pile of 
covers now.
