Memories For This Unit
Best Moment Getting to move part of the equipment to Kumwha and set up another operating location.	Worst Moment When first arrived at detachment, was placed on guard duty. Standing out in open (-30 degrees or so) all night didn't improve my morale much, but there was access afterward to a messhall (no C-rats here) Only had a week of this.

Chain of Command Crew transferred to 606th AC&W Squadron which reported to 502nd Tac Control Group.	Other Memories Although moved to 606th AC&W from 608th, was still at detachment. Site was first at Chunchon, but later moved to Kumwha. Still ran bombing missions. Life as before at other detachment.
