That's so strange but it make sense given the OPTEMPO. TDC in 96 was only slightly cleaner than the Sunni triangle but by the time I went back in 07 they had a hotel and dependents.

Private 2nd Class Travis King had just been released from a South Korean prison where he had been held on assault charges and was facing additional military disciplinary actions in the US.

No he was a shit bag who just served two months in South Korean confinement for getting into fight with locals. He was in deep kimchi and they were shipping him back to US to be discharged, prob. a less than honorable one too. Said he didn't want to go back to US and once his escort left him. He left airport and went to Demarcation line with a tour group and crossed.

If he changes his mind he needs to start claiming LGBTQMOUSE+ status and request DPRK immediately affirm his transgender status and give him sex change. This way FJB and team will move mountains and do everything short of war to get him back.  
Fuck it tell best Korea he is yours and he was a terrible spy anyway and hung up the phone.

Don't know if I'd want to have been part of the detail "escorting" him if he got away that easily.

And the Navy base parts were filmed in Canada because the U.S. Navy wouldn't allow filming to occur at either Norfolk or Kittery Naval Shipyard-where the Portsmouth Naval Prison was located.

As an aside, My Dad was stationed at nearby Pease AFB at the time the film was released and my younger brother was born on board Kittery Naval Shipyard a month after the film was released. The film was released in December 1973 and the prison was closed in 1974.

If the rank existed I'd imagine E-1 is Private Third Class and E-2 would be Private Second Class. If it existed.

The prison sits empty to this day. SCOTUS' Seavey's Island decision and the fact that NH AG David Souter screwed up in 1977 aside; I can't bring myself to say Kittery Naval Shipyard.

Apologies for thread drift.

Yeah, you're right, it is actually Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. I should have known that, having spent a number of years living in southern Maine and New Hampshire.

To tie the thread drift back to the original topic, hopefully, this dumbass gets what's coming to him like the douchebag who set fire to the USS Miami.

Lol holy crap! Per wikipedia:

Beginning in 1978, he was cast in several North Korean films, including one episode of the series Unsung Heroes (as an American villain called "Arthur Cockstud"),[16] and he became a celebrity in the country as a result. He was called "Arthur" by his North Korean friends, after the name of his character in Unsung Heroes. He also translated some of North Korean leader Kim Il Sung's writings into English.


What a maroon.

Yep.  He's such a dumbass, it's hard for me to fathom.  The S.K. Guards are there to escort defectors to the South and protect UN/US personnel and guests.  They NEVER plan to stop anyone from crossing North.  No one should be stupid enough to try it.

Sure it’s not news to the thread, but I heard on the radio he was facing administrative separation for assault (on a South Korean?). Got away from the airport, and somehow got through the DMZ, you would think there would be safeguards to prevent it.
