[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 889881, member: 1863"] We didn't even have the toys y'all had and I can only imagine what they got now. I was there about 7 yrs after the korean conflict ended.Lot's of skirmishes went on on the dmz but none ever were reported to the news media,and I'd say there still happining. A round finding it's way across the dmz was a common thing. And that kimshi pot smell was hard to take.I do remember though after being over there for the first month or so even slanted eyes started looking pretty good. :nod: Cal[/quote] Cal, I was there in 88 and 89 when Americans were still on the "Z" with active patrols. It was turned over to the ROK's completely in 91 I think. Yes small skirmishes and "snatches" were a common thing just not reported. I was told that since the Korean conflict truce began that 1,500 GI's had been killed along the DMZ. It happened while I was there. We found an infil tunnel that the NK's had built complete with electricity and a small rail car system. An American officer and a ROK officer were killed by an explosive device set by the NK's even though we warned them the tunnel was not secure. We exchanged fire with the NK's when we entered it from the southern end. The PMJ is what we called the JSA (Joint Security Area). The last patrol I made was a long the 4k stretch leading up to it. Most of my patrols were with 8 man hunter / killer teams inside the Z and both sides regularly crossed the MLD which is where you are apt to dissapear. Getting snatched was a real threat. We did our share of snatching NK's when we caught them on our side of the MLD.
