hey no shit! that is exactly the club i was referring to.... right at the base of walker hill. By chance, ever go to the Silver Wave? It was a basement club. We used to go there, had these monster JBL speakers, and we would drink peach Oscar and Soju. And they had the cutest waitresses that would give you a BJ for $5.

Then there was the playboy club. Friend of mine bounced there... his wife was a waitres. Curfew back then was from 12 to 4. The real action in the clubs happened during curfew, when they knew no one could come or go.

Careful, it almost sounds like you want to switch teams. You may want to bump up the age thing there so you don't get busted, though.

Juicy girls hooah.
If you leave Korea the same rank you went in then it was a successful stay.

I went from E1 to E3 (PFC... yeah, in your face!!!)

AND never caught the clap woooo hooooo!

**Times Roman** · 11-11-2010, 06:38 PM

It's amazing how many five dollar bills I had in my pocket at any given moment. I'd burn one five dollar bill as soon as I'd hit the vill, and at least one more sometime while hitting up the clubs.

**tdiddy** · 11-11-2010, 06:38 PM

Went there an e4 and left an e6 in two years. Must have done something right LOL!

**Skyler** · 11-11-2010, 06:38 PM

Thats like super star status for a Korea tour, lol. My buddy just got an article 15 two weeks ago. Trouble at the bars.

**tdiddy** · 11-11-2010, 06:41 PM

Itaewon was good and all, but I only went to Bungalow, Wolfhounds, Geckos or Pollys

**Times Roman** · 11-11-2010, 06:43 PM

I got caught after curfew at the gate one time and the gate was closed. Fukked up on some soju. Ended up climbing over the fence with constatina wire on top. Two ROK souldiers waiting for me at the bottom with billy clubs (these clubs aint the kind you can order a drink from). Once I cleared the top, I fell on these two midgets, knocking them down. I could have easily whooped their collective asses, but I wasn't totally stupid drunk, hesitated, and got shoved through the plate glass window at the gaurd shack. Unit commander had to come sign for me, got in some trouble, but never an Art 15.

**Shol'va** · 11-11-2010, 06:45 PM

TR, you were in when the clap was about all there was to get, well, maybe HIV, now days its an alphabet soup of diseases out there and you are lucky if you only get one letter out of the 26 diseases going around. a shot of penicillan no longer works for whats lurching out there. A root rot dejour Put a helmet on it BATTLES!

**Skyler** · 11-11-2010, 06:46 PM

All that and no Art15? Damn, you had a cool as unit commander then, lol.

the whole unit was corrupt. we were the 6th medsom (medical supply optical maintenance). the year before I got there, they inventoried the warehouse, and were almost $100million short. 3 guesses where it all disappeared to.

**Tigershark** · 11-11-2010, 11:02 PM

**tdiddy** · 11-12-2010, 01:54 AM

**tdiddy** · 11-12-2010, 01:55 AM

Rasberry, keep your head up brother. Just think about coming home with all that money, and living fast

**tdiddy** · 11-12-2010, 01:56 AM

I made ALOT of money over there. But we burned it as fast as we made it. We had a permenant room at the crown hotel, purchased alot of "recreational substances", threw money around like we were donald trump, had a permenant GF where I slept, banged a bunch of other women before i went home, greased alot of palms with silver, went to clubs... how many mates you know that has tables permenantly reserved for them... I had two... one at the king club, the other at the silver wave... I came home with maybe $10k. I shudder to think that maybe I burned through $50k (not counting my normal paycheck) while I was there.... maybe more. But then again, I was only 18 and knew nothing about saving. All I know is I had a blast, and was treated like royalty. it's funny, walking around korea, I was clearly 6 to 8 inches taller than the average korean male. it took a little getting used to since I never really thought of myself as tall.

US Army, 07' to present. Went to camp casey for my first assignment. TDC was ok and all but itaewon, hongdai, and gangnam were the shit! I miss that place alot.

We had a medic in our barracks so both times i got the clap i would just hit him up for some antibiotics! He said it happened weekly lol!

BTW- i think theres 20+ KINGS clubs in korea, the one i went to was on the far east side of TDC right outside the casey main gate. I fought a dude from sri lanka in there. 2-9 INF Manchu's!!!
