Tour of The Ville (main road)

[@Mitchhwebb]

The Vill hasn't changed much since 1984-85...brought back many memories! Thank you for posting so much!

[@MayweatherjrWONandsoTrump]

Great Memories. was there 3 times and my last time was 2006-2007. 1 year of my 25 of service, and I treasure the experience. Fight tonight!!

[@rodneyreaves2737]

I remember all of this. I was there in 1999!!!

[@chrise8323]

99 as well

[@davidmc1489]

93 for me...been drunk down range many a time

[@sterain61]

0:44 I used to live in an apartment right behind the High Cotton Club back in 98. Theres a hallway past the door going into the club. At the end of it was my apartment. Pretty nice place for the Ville

[@keithcorkern4308]

Camp Sears 89-90 but we were there in the ville every weekend. Brings back lots of memories

[@camerameron]

Thank you so much for posting this, it brought back a lot of great memories. "kfc" was awesome!

[@maritesreckert5740]

This brings back memories. I was stationed in Stanley for a little while in 6/37FA. We moved from Stanley to Casey with 1/38FA. I had good times in both camps, but I miss Stanley. It was small but you didn't have to take buses, and getting to formation was as simple as walking through the gate and taking a left. Had a warriors pass because off post was not an option without being married.

[@BillFikes]

86-90, 702/302 you walked right past two of my hootchs, very cool to see the old ville again.

[@MBFD-1]

Wow feels like I just took a trip through a time machine

[@DROIDZ_YouTube]

Was there from 2003-2005 and loved every minute of it. Shame they shut it down, I still dream about Camp Stanley from time to time.

[@chrise8323]

99-00 ... man, New Wave, High Cotton, Peggy's, Hillside, Best, Roxy....fkn memories, hahaha...I got in a lot of trouble and had a lot of fun here

[@sweetpeaofthegames]

Sadly, no, the Army sent us on to Fort Sill in Oklahoma. However, they are retiring my husband this summer, and he is going to try to get a job with Lockheed Martin so we can go back to Korea some day, we really miss it.

[@sterain61]

14 years later. Did your husband get the job?

[@sweetpeaofthegames]

We lived there from October 2006 until May 2007. ^_^ We miss it, we wish we'd gone AIP and stayed, we miss Ma's fried shrimp and chicken fried rice at "KFC" and just the atmosphere of that little town in general.

[@BillFikes]

86-90, 702MSB/302FSB, my first hooch was up the street/alley past the Mustang, my second was between your apt and the mailbox you pointed out on the way. Toilet/shower was down the street a little. On the same side as you a few bldgs down. Seems almost like a ghost town from what I remember.

[@mrls1239]

I remember when the Roxy was open!! Was there 3x 😂

[@nickulllenkska3656]

In 1983 the vill was off the hook 24 hours a day ! ...........did not know it then but south korea turned out 2-B the most fun of my life. well may not be the most but it is in my top ten 4-SHO !

[@lindsayraftery6713]

[@isaacmiddleton9679]

[@timmanning5440]

[@camerameron]

[@onestl9753]

Wow has it changed

[@DaytonaGary]

84,85...The Roads are all I can see that are the same.Different Club names but same buildings.There were no Apartments there when I was stationed there.Just Hooches for the Buismess Women.Every Club had Prostitutes.

[@fredflintstoner3009]

1972/1973... Different ville for sure

[@sweetpeaofthegames]

Club Roxy is the club with the motorcycle handlebars,sadly it was closed the whole time we were there.

[@kdmatt1]

Is this the ville across from Camp Red Cloud?

[@kevlar8686]

I wish I could go back to visit there. I wonder if there is anyone that was there when I was there is still there.

[@keavenbrown123]

thank you for this video ........81 to 82

[@flipdigitty]

I love it...was there in 96. That smell in the air...them damn fried bugs.....THEE worst smell I've ever smelt! Yup, always back to Ft. Sill......never fails.

[@mgwiredog]

HHB DivArty 84-85. Watching this brings the pungent smell of piss right back to me. Still wish the real KFC was more like the Kentucky Chicken right out the gate. Loved the ramen place outside the other gate. I remember driving my "California Dreamin" Gamma Goat. What a POS vee-hicular that was!! So cold! I remember the Cmona Club, Rainbow and the famous High "Rotten". Loved the polish sausage, egg, cheese sandwiches delivered to the wire shop by Flash on the rusted bicycle. Lazy ass Katusa's, shitting in rice patties in the field, drinking jungle juice in the kettle, Capt. Q., Silvac and as the brutha's would say, combat size bottles of the "soul juice". I can try to describe it but you'll never u derstand unless you were there. Thanks for sharing.

[@Thermos017]

@dannyboysix so young left the club in 04. don't remember the name of the place she went but it was another club about an hour west of uijongbu. i had all their numbers on my phone when i left korea, but i haven't seen that phone in at least 5 years. even if i could find it, i highly doubt there is any way it would turn on. the way things were going when i left i'd be real surprised if odgima is still in business. things got really slow for her after they booted the russians from the ville

[@Joe3977]

The rainbow club was where the Club Roxy is pictured here (the one with the motorcycle handlebars) There is not a club there at all at this time.

[@PHILDAWG316]

korea gotta love fucking soju

[@sweetpeaofthegames]

Nope, I think he moved to the Casey Ville actually, his little shop is being used as a plant store now.

[@richardhilliard9835]

I was there 06-09

[@flipdigitty]

I love it...was there in 96. That smell in the air...them damn fried bugs.....THEE worst smell I've ever smelt!

[@MoisesGarcia-ly8li]

People often complained about having to go over I actually loved it...prostitution and all, it's part of their culture. What we might see as wrong it might not be for them, plus why wouldn't you enjoy a traveling experience to live in another country for a whole year and get paid to do so. C-3/16th F.A.R. 03-04 reminiscing good memories

[@elifoust7664]

Camp Market,76-77

[@christopherbryant1882]

[@26478me]

WTF!!! Paved street!!! What is up with that? NO Prostitutes? "TO MY APARTMENT???????????????? APARTMENT HELL, we could not even go to the village without a pass!!!Midnight curfew for everyone American and Korean alike! We were still receiving "HOSTILE FIRE PAY" back in 72 & 73'. What a choice station that is now...UN REAL!

[@kmorgan26]

You're surprised that 35 years has resulted in progress! I was there in 85-86...actually at Camp LaGuardia, and then again in 87-88, and my 3rd tour in 97-98. In that 13 years, quite a bit changed. There were already paved roads pretty much everywhere in 85. But I have since gone back on vacation in 2013, and the place is nothing like it was ~30 years earlier. It's a modern country. I'll go on Google Earth from time to time, just to check it all out!

[@drewbob3030]

I was there in 73-74 with the 2nd MP Co, 3rd Plt. Like Bob said, midnight curfew, the 'Vile was for getting cheap clothes and shoes, hitting the bar(s), getting drunk and getting laid. Walking patrol through the 'Ville was a hoot, unless you had to carry the PRC-25 radio on your back. Try running from the bottom of the hill at the end of the road to the back gate for a report of a fight was one of my memories. The platoon occupied a quonset hut on base, nest door to the dispensary, which was another hut. The MP station itself was nothing more than a quonset hut up on the hill just inside the main gate. No facilities; had to use a piss tube outside or hop a ride back to the barracks to drop a deuce. The only non-Korean woman working on the camp was the rec director, Mary Noel Feldman (not sure how, but her name just popped into my head). No dependents were allowed back then. We worked 12 hour shifts, 3 days, 3 nights and 3 days off. A weekend in Seoul was a real treat. Great place or a young single guy. The experience was one I wouldn't trade for anything. It was lost on me at the time, but 20 years prior to my arrival this place was being blown to shit. I cannot imagine the kind of progress that has been made today.

[@empressgeek6160]

I was a DOD civilian living over there, not enlisted, my husband at the time was stationed there. The Army strongly discouraged me from going, and wouldn’t pay for it, which was fine, I sold my car and bought my own ticket over. I just went to the Korean Consulate in the States and requested to live there. So I had the apartment, my husband had to live on base with his midnight curfew.

[@giryongchung7886]

Blurry

[@notagrd]

Sucks since they let families acc.

[@EarthlyNation]

Same crap years later.

[@sweetpeaofthegames]

That one was closed down due to prostitution while we were there.
