[...] like an ass chewing and a suspension would be the way to go with this. If Korean employees that trespassed into a high security area on Osan Airbase are allowed to keep their jobs then how can you fire Playboy for cursing while [...]

I’ll wager that these two douchebags get a call from the Songtan Businessman’s Association, and the incident will rapidly fade.
Nobody, but nobody, goes near the Blackcat ramp unless they have the area marked on their line badge, or are escorted by someone with does. These bozos ‘broke red’ and are trying to save their asses. Probably civil engineer KGS’s.
Nomad is right on target. The ROKAF SP draftees are nothing more than ID checkers. It’s funny when, on the rare occasion, ROKAF assists with enforcing parking violations on ROKAF POVs, you’ll see a real ROK SP, typically a SNCO or warrant officer.

Nomad,

It is so good to hear from you. I am glad that you chimed in on my comment. Thanks I hope you are enjoying your Hiatus (sp?) from blogging.

Cpt Kim,

The only place you have joint security guards are at the gates and facilities like the HTACC and KCOIC bunkers, where you also have a large number ROK military working. And (I think)the ROK guys only check ROKAF personnel badges and identification - physical security itself falls on the AF SP’s (I could be wrong, but in 10 years, I’ve never seen the ROKAF cops do more than check ID cards). The flightline and other areas like the U2 area are all manned by U.S. Air Force Security Police.

I thought most of security personnels are combined US-ROK AF security personnel in Osan. Weren’t there any ROK AF SP/MP at this guard post? There is no reporting on the race-ethnic make up of US Guards. (It would be funny if these SPs were Korean Americans.)

Maybe racism had a little to do with a ‘foot to the neck,’ but I’ve been slammed to the ground for the exact same thing and I ain’t even Korean. However, I only got a ‘foot to the back.’

I just wonder what they were doing trying to get into a restricted area anyway….The paper did not even address that

Speaking of racism, today I needed to change my door knob to my office. Simple thing to do right. I wanted to get this thing done quick so I did not call DPW…So I went to the Humphreys PX…No Door knob replace mt. Next day I went to Osan and they also did not have the replacement door knob…they checked all the other PX and guess what? The PX no longer carries Freakin DOOR KNOBS and the Koreans do not make a DOOR KNOB replacement that works for the Average American door.

AFFESS pisses me off every day. Its bad enough they refuse to put fresh honey rolls in the vending machine (instead of really old and some are opened) And they fact for over a year they still cant figure out that Diet coke goes in the Diet Coke selection

I think we need a replacement for AAFFESS if they cannot have simple things like Door Knobs and fresh honey dew roles
