Does anyone know where Camp Alfa is? I would say it was lost in the woods but I didn't see any woods the whole time I was in Korea. Just yamas(mountains) and rice paddies. Camp Alfa is about as far in no where as you can get. AIRBORNE! GERONIMO!!

I was at Camp Casey, 1/9 Manchu, 85-86.

Lot's of memories here.

Jim, and everyone else, great pics, thanks for sharing.

You're all ugly as hell!

I forgot to mention:

I was in Yongsan. Jan 2005 through Aug 2007.

anyone who was stationed at casey or hovey remember the schoolhouse run? As I remember it was mostly uphill, turn around at the schoolhouse, and book it back downhill. I need to find that on sat image.

1st tour was with 2ID at CP Stanton (5/5 ADA) 90-91, 2nd tour was on Yongson as the CSM (as an E-8) for a friggin' Dental Bn 98-99. Does anyone remember those Bill the Cat Soju t-shirts? Lost mine somewhere.....along with a few brain cells!

Anyone remember Mickey Mouse Corners? Being a NCO, I could sign out a Jeep on the Weekend. So one Sunday 4 of us when there. Fun place. In 1960 it was like going downtown Chicago.

This is the explanation of the term "turtle" that I always heard.

When you inprocess to 2ID, you reside in the replacement detachment on the left side of a large asphalt lot as you enter the area. When you out process you reside in the hooches to the right of the asphalt lot. The lot is only 100-150 yds. wide.

It takes you a year to get from one side of the lot to the other. That's fucking SLOW. Turtle's are slow...

Hence the name "Turtle".

Anyone hear anything else about the term?

Good Explanation!

The version I heard was that the "In-Processing" Door was right next to the "Out-Processing" Door in the Turtle Farm. Hence, it took 365 days to get from one door to the next! It took me 2 1/2 year for me to get out of the Division!

Trust and believe me when I tell you it's a new world here. Most of y'all wouldn't recognize any of it. I just got back from walking across the city and it still amazes me to think that this place was almost entirely destroyed sixty years ago. I can't imagine the 'Stan or Iraq having this type of turn around in a hundred years let alone sixty. Time will tell for sure.
