Ben Dunlap of 581st Signal Radio Relay Company in Korea

Served July 1961 to December 1962 at Pyongtaek and Tacoma Site #10

Paul, I have really enjoyed your web site. I served four tours in Korea. My first was from July 59 to July 1960. On that tour I was with "D" Company EUSA Signal Long Lines Bn. I was assigned to a radio terminal site attached to the 83rd Ordinance Bn. at An Yang Ni.

My second trip was with the 581st Signal Radio Relay Pyong Taek. I was assigned to Tacoma # 10 outside of Kunsan Air Base from July 1961 through December 1962.

My third trip was with the 502nd MI Bn stationed in Pool Gong Dong just north of Seoul. I was there from March 1965 to April 1968.

My fourth trip was with the 308th Trans Co at Pyong Taek. I was there from September 1970 and returned to the real world October 1971.

I really didn't get on the wrong side of anyone. I volunteered for each trip I took over. After my last return in 1971 I managed to stay in the US until November 2002. I made a trip back then because my daughter was adopting a son from South Korea. My last real assignment to Korea was after I completed Huey Maint school at Ft Rucker, AL.

I left Military Service on the 1st of February 1977. I retied after 20 years and 13 days. At the time I was stationed with the JFK Center at Ft Bragg, NC. I hope this information will help out someone or put me in touch with someone I know.
