I lived in a barracks on Camp Walker in Daegu from 1982 to 1983. I was also an E-5, but back then, it was two to a room (similar in size to the room in this video). We had our own bathroom and did not share it with another room. Instead of closets, we each had our own wall locker. We did not have a refrigerator or a microwave. We did, however, have a Korean housekeeper who, for a small fee from each soldier, cleaned our laundry, shined our boots, and kept the hallway swept, mopped, and buffed.

[@biggdogg35810]

These are the same as the barracks on APG. Wow, Cp. Casey has come a long way. I haven't been over there since 98.

[@bamagrl26]

Exactly I was there at B 302FSB in Camp Casey, and they didn't look nothing like this. Glad they have improved.

[@angeliev85]

Your room being all neat and orderly keeps my mild OCD at rest hahahaha

[@mr.pumkin3928]

Looks the same as 01_02 just a little updated to fit the times . Many great memories just outside them gates little advice go easy on the SoJu first night . It gos down easy until you stand up and forget the rest of the night .

[@tedm2922]

I was at Camp Casey in 1967/68. Looked a little different then. I was in a Quonset hut.

[@gearhead2be]

Hey, another old timer! I was in 2nd Aviation Battalion from late 73 to late 75. Some units had more modern barracks, but we were in the Quonsets with open bays, and the common latrine was a short walk down the curb. It was heated with a pot belly stove that burned deisel in a five gallon Jerry can. If you didn't get your Jerry can filled when the fuel truck came around, you had no heat.

[@tedm2922]

@@gearhead2be Yes. Same here. And we were only allowed 5 gallons of diesel every 24 hours. we had to shut it off after breakfast and not light it again until we were off duty. It would be very cold inside when we got off duty every evening, well below freezing and everyone would huddle around the stove for a while. I was a heavy equipment operator in the 13th Engineer Battalion. LOL I operated a dozer and a grader so I was never warm while I was on duty.

[@dangreene9846]

You and I were there at roughly the same time. Me march 74 to 75. My Barrack looked nothing like that . At least we had houseboys.

[@frankie15oct]

Exact same rooms that we had in 2001. Little updated, but not much. You’re missing the blue light and couches I stole from the commons area.

[@stocksj]

Much different from 45 years ago when a similar room would have 4 guys with metal wall lockers, one desk and one chair and everyone had a full sized stereo system. TV maybe. Or you would be living in a Quonset Hut.

[@ethanviolet1]

i have been told by my uncle who has been serving in the army for 18 years now that sgt is a good rank because you get a perfect balance of responsibility and ability to do things.

[@TheBenAllen.]

Ethan's Earth he’s right!

[@macburger5026]

Ethan's Earth What rank is your uncle now? He should be around e7 at this point. I can't imagine being in the Army on active duty for that long unless you get a really good job where you don't have to go out to the field or the motor pool or PT a lot.

[@thechillmaster5836]

@@macburger5026 and why is it hard to imagine someone being in the army for 18 years having to do rucking or PT more often?

[@ethanviolet1]

@@macburger5026 he stayed as Sargent he said he doesn't want that much responsibility thatch why i posted this comment. to see other peoples opinions on the responsibility of higher ranks and what permisions you get from them.

[@macburger5026]

@@thechillmaster5836 obviously its not good on your body. It will tear your body down, not build it up. That's why there are so many people, who were in great shape, in the Army and Marines who have had to get on disability because of the back and leg problems. And doing hard PT everyday is no help because your body doesn't have much time to recover. Hopefully you won't have to worry about that too much since you got a decent MOS.

[@be_crux]

I wonder how you use your Wifi in your barrack, I'm pretty sure that there's no internet ports

[@timtaylor5154]

The rooms are alot nicer than when I was there in 91. C battery 5-5 ADA.

[@freddyrincon1481]

I was there back in 02 fucking memories..

[@CALiiGeddonTwo]

I got projections to go here but no date yes. Now my #1 reason I want to become a sergeant is to get my own room.

[@eddiegonzalez4049]

Thank God I’m in Humphreys

[@dangreene9846]

Would have been a big upgrade from what I lived in. We had four guys sharing the same room.

[@johnfourquet3475]

Wow! Indoor plumbing, better than the Quonset hits we had in 73.

[@annemarshall752]

I was there in 88' sucked ass. We had community showers as females and had to use the males showers with UNLOCKABLE doors.. shared rooms..beer vending machines.. A terrible experience for me.

[@gearhead2be]

I was there from late 73 to late 75 in 2nd Aviation Btn. Where were you?

[@mag1631]

I kept hearing Casey was going to closed down or given to the Koreans. I was there 2002-2003. Interesting though.

[@Selfg12]

That's a... lot of protein mix. Do they not carry it in SK? Asking cause I need to know whether to bring it or not lol

[@the_queen_redeemed]

I'm between the Army and the Navy now

[@LovingMyJourney]

I was in 177th Finance at Casey back in '87-'88. Our barracks were primitive in comparison to these.

[@Notbuyingyourbs]

110v? Really? By the way, I served in HQ of ROKA 28th Infantry div and I would usually run into us soldiers at Jihaeng. I was always wondering what it would be like inside Camp Casey. So thanks for the video.

[@VERYOLDTIMER1]

What unit we're you in I was in Fco 702nd maintenance Bn back in 85 I was a E-5 my room looked nothing like that I do realize things improve as the years go on. That looked like a great place to live .

[@johnboulay1626]

I was there 1967 - 1968. Lived in Quanset huts, 10 or 12 soldiers per hut. One kerosene stove which had to be refueled every couple of hours. Toilets and showers were at rhe other end of camp.

[@hunterdixon3921]

I’ll be heading that way in July

[@ethervagabond]

OMFG. The barracks looks exactly the same as it did in 2005. I guess I didn't realize all the barracks on the base were the same. Especially those freaking closets.

[@devinhartlaub8221]

I’m in the Army but got oslan air base as my first duty station, do you know anything about that place and the area ?? Thanks

[@trivet1970]

the barracks i was in 1986 i had 3 roommates :)

[@trivet1970]

2nd AG company then 509 PSC Camp Casey Korea. Those were good times.

[@wouldntchuliketoknow8170]

Massive upgrade to living in quanset huts. Btw i'm surprised you're room is such a mess. Are room inspections no longer a thing?

[@alexgambrell6799]

Do you receive 2 weeks of R&R while at Camp Casey? Is it easy to get a weekend pass to travel other cities?

[@stevenm3727]

So if you’re not a nco you have to share a room with another person?

[@ashleyheight7552]

How did you take apart the bed? My husband just got there and wants to do the same.

[@TheBenAllen.]

Should just be able to lift it out of the frame!

[@brya2915]

That looks like my old barracks room for the 4 Chem...are they still a unit?

[@TheBenAllen.]

Not sure bud.

[@brya2915]

I loved the atmosphere...hard work... little rest...I learned so much there...I regretted leaving...I should have stayed longer.

[@AaronbTV]

Notification gang 💯

[@erikchavarin5544]

Any idea how the rooms are set up for rotating units? Gonna be there next month with 1ID

[@TheBenAllen.]

I was a Rotating Unit!

[@thewyattglenn]

I am staying in the same barracks rn

[@L1LM1K3]

how is it over there

[@marlabyars4858]

When did you get stationed there

[@TheBenAllen.]

Was on a rotation there since October

[@jackforreal4958]

I want to know, the paycheck you receive is going to be US dollars, or Korean money?

[@TheBenAllen.]

US

[@JM-zz3vs]

🤣🤣🤣

[@chuongquang225]

Do all the item in your room need to be SOP standard ??

[@macburger5026]

Chuong Quang I guess it would depend on your barracks and where you are. All the inspections I've had, including from my commanders and the sergeant major, no one ever said anything about items having to be in a certain standard, but that is just my example.

[@kwonster1]

Do single officers live in the barracks too?

[@TheBenAllen.]

No

[@marlabyars4858]

My grandson is there now

[@tjwilder3243]

Ole bulldog BDE Korea rotation

[@aadmzz7428]

Not excited to go lol

[@JustADudeWhoLikesSports]

This room looks like ass wtf haha. I don’t want to pcs over there now

[@thechillmaster5836]

Your boots look so gross 😂

[@macburger5026]

The Chillmaster You'll learn that when you're in the Army that after ruck marching and being in the field and even at times doing PT that your boots aren't always going to be pretty.

Hi, do you get to do school online
