Camp Humphrey Club Dispute Ends
The dispute the Camp Humphrey’s commander and the Anjong-ri club owners has finally come to an end:
Club owners outside Camp Humphreys in Pyeongtaek will fire bar workers who engage in prostitution as well as any of the “entertainment†agencies that provide female bar employees who might later take part in the sex traffic, the head of a local merchants group said Friday.
The merchants also will fire any worker selling alcohol to underage U.S. servicemembers, said Kim Ki-ho, merchants association president in Anjung-ri, the Pyeongtaek City district in which Camp Humphreys is located.
This dispute ended pretty much how they always do, the club owners vow to change their ways then wait a while and go back to the old ways after some time passes and there has been a personnel change over. They continue their old ways until someone calls them on it again. The bar owners face no legal consequences for human trafficking, prostitution, and selling alcohol to minors from the Korean law enforcement, so they will always continue to play this Off Limits game with the Army. The Army needs to police itself instead of relying on the clubs to do the policing for them.
I don't know what Shingles and these others are talking about.
I'd like to comment on this posting. I cannot believe that all of the Anjeong-ri bar owners have sworn off running whores. They might make a killing off OB and Soju bowls, but they'll lose a lot of money without sending their girls out for $100 – $200 a night. But, I don't really know. If we do an analysis, we might fing that more profit comes from selling juice than long-times.
Also, I'd like to point out that a number of the clubs that were banned are now, or were at one time, owned by retired Americans through their Korean spouses. As a matter of fact, when the Ace Club opened up back in 2001, it was co-owned by an E-8 who was still on active duty.
What about the "D" club or whatever and the place that guy had that was downstairs. His wife died oor something and he closed. Half the stuff in there comes out of the px and commisary. But noone says shiit. Thought they were looking for black marketers too?
I would just like to know why it is that when i write and talk the truth about the eagles club you don't post it…..we all know what happens after hours at the eagles, are you protecting them? You know as wel as I that Kyoung is very popular for sex, so why not let the truth be told?
Thankyou for posting my comment…..I'm retired military but just want to let you know that I had Kyoung (eagles club)over 250 times……best time of my life….you do the math!!!!

Things must have changed alot from when I was there in 93-94. We had clubs like the Top Hat, the Kashmir Club, the Woodstock, and such. Never heard of the Ace Club or the "D" club. Back then a short time was 20 bucks and a long time was 80, and the prostitutes were farmed out by old women that worked the streets cornering GI's as they drunkenly tried to make their way back to the gate before the 2am curfue. We called the old women 'blow job ojama'. There was not even any talk at all about underage GI's drinking in the ville, hell, they could drink in the on base clubs too. Just get over the underage thing, young GI's can go to Iraq and get killed, but can't drink. Come on.
We are in the days of a smoke free, drink free, f*ck free US military. But nothing is done about churches outside military gates that rip of GI's. Amen.
I was there during the same time. Back then, the AAFES soda machines in the barracks had beer in them. As far as I know there was no minimum drinking age for GI’s. Alcohol was everywhere, and so where prostitutes. A case of Budweiser, cans or bottles. hot or cold, was 8 bucks, went up to 8.50 right before I left. A fifth of Jim Beam was 6 bucks at the class 6. Was worth about 45 bucks in the ville, but we could only buy 4 bottles per month. Beer was rationed to two cases per day. Why it was even rationed, I don’t know. Beer didn’t go on your ration control plate, or RCP, you just weren’t supposed to buy more than 2 cases. Back then the place was pure sin, cheap and simple. There were very few, if any, American children there then, as only senior officers and NCO’s could bring sponsored family members. I couldn’t imagine taking my family to that place. I hated every minute of it while I was there, but looking back, some of the best memories of my time in the Army was during my year at Camp Humphreys.
Heh what? You’re about 15 years off the mark there. I’d like to see a photo of one of these “AAFES soda machines” with beer in them because in my 10 years and change there starting in `03 the only vended beer was from a Korean machine and those were scarce. :hmm:
Anyhoo the sinner’s paradise you’re misremembering had to be from stories you heard from people who were there pre-90’s. :beg:
Btw alcohol was rationed for the same reason meat was monitored (resist Chickenhead, resist the urge!), people would try to get soldiers to buy it for them either for resale off-base or personal use. Used to be a Korean guy who’d do odd stuff like clean and shine boots for free if you bought him Shortribs on Camp Stanley, went by the name of “Number One Chop”. Eventually got his number one a55 caught and prompted banned from post. 😆
Yeah – I remember beer in the AAFES vending machines at Casey, but that was 1990 – you’re right Smokes – dude was just a few years (at least 15) off. What I found interesting way – they had beer in the vending machine at the HQ building where we had to pull 24-hour CQ. You didn’t have to stay up all night – you could bunk-down at 2200 and then had to get up again at 0530 to unlock the front door before PT started. So it was always nice to grab a $1.00 Budweiser or $0,75 Crown or OB outta the machine and kill it before dozing off…
Unlock the door? What kind of billeting was it that they locked the front door? Aside from an open bay I can’t see a reason to lock the door, would suck if there was a fire. I’d ask why’d they lock people in their barracks at night but we’re talking 2ID in the early 90’s so.. yeah… :hmm:
I was at Casey in 1999 and there was beer in the vending machines. I remember like it was yesterday. AAFES also delivered beer to the barracks, I can remember playing ‘Asshole’ in the dayroom of the 3rd floor barracks and calling for a six pack of Bud when we ran out.
Hookers were everywhere in the ville, they didn’t even attempt to disguise it. Ajumma’s were aggressive and drag you down alleys, MP’s would apprehend you for going down an alley, but not stop the Ajumma’s. We had one who was ‘Sergeant Major’ and she’d take you to her whorehouse around the corner from the Rock n Roll together Club.
After 2002, the culture changed. Fox news came and did a big report on the GI”s soliciting prostitution and how the command was at least complicit. Things changed, slightly. Instead of ajummas pulling you down alleys, they kept the whores in the clubs and the Koreans stopped working there. Russians came and went by the time I left the second time in 2004.
It’s all a different world now than the filthy shithole that we had great memories of back in those days.
Hey Smokes – this was duty at the unit HQ – the barracks was up the road (and you couldn’t lock the exterior doors to that rat-trap if you wanted to – lol – at that time, a collection of Quonset huts and various other modular buildings).
i was there in75-76 short time 5 bucks overnite 10 , beer machine was in barracks 25 cents a can, cold bud..there was a couple oral only places too in the ville 3 bucks a pop! top hat was my favorite bar
