By The Camp Humphreys expansion project despite all of the violent protests, delays & even more delays, funding cuts, and corruption; appears to be getting closer to becoming a reality:
The long-awaited work on the first buildings set for construction on Camp Humphreys’ new lands will kick off in June.
Six eight-story barracks are the first of many structures that will go up under plans to transform Camp Humphreys by 2012 into the U.S. military’s flagship installation in South Korea.
The post is to triple in size by expanding onto a large tract set aside for the project under a South Korea-U.S. agreement. [Stars & Stripes]
Check out the rest of the Stars & Stripes article for more details about projects that are about to begin construction on the reclaimed land. It sounds like the expanded Camp Humphreys should be the equal of Yongsan Garisson facility wise once the expansion is complete.

Ah, the sleepy little town of Anjungni will not be so sleepy anymore after all this gets done. I remember many a night cascading down Ricochet Alley between Club Alley and Top Hat Alley. This trip was made doubly fun in the winter when it iced over. Hehehehe.. Ah, memories!!!

So I guess the USAG has all sort of money now to burn: The CSM of the post driver steals the CSM truck. gets drunk and drive it around post at 90 mph and flips it,
Now these signs appear about military values, the Truck on flatbed is displayed and an actual wooden box is constructed to hide the flat bed. A couple of light sets and now a marquee sign appears along with a generator to power it and a couple of how fast your going signs…plus the fuel to goes into the light sets and generator. Plus they have to write off the truck because its total…need another plush truck
My point is they should of focused on leadership and the type of people the leader choose for jobs. I can just talk with a Soldier and figure out if he is going to be trusted enough for a job like CSM driver…What were they thinking when they let this guy have this Job.
No its should be a message of Leadership not of one of army values

Hey Kingkitty,
I think you goofed and put this comment on the wrong posting or maybe I don't get the significance of a CSM's driver upon this story???

But, without a TV tower looming overhead it just won't have the Yongsan atmosphere.
