Seventh Medical Battalian Camp Casey, Korea 1970
The barracks and dispensary, photographed in early spring 1970. I resided in the one-story barracks, located at the intersection of the two roads (upper left). Following the road to the right, you'll see the company headquarters, dispensary (hospital), and helipad. The surroundings were bleak and brown, but the nearby hills added some scenic beauty. Life was routine, punctuated by occasional rumors of an imminent North Korean invasion (the DMZ was situated just 12 miles away). Although I grew accustomed to these rumors, they still made me feel uneasy and vulnerable. My comfort came from close friendships and the knowledge that I would eventually return home to resume my life. And indeed, that's what happened.
