OP, did you make it up to the DMZ? Panmunjom is probably the strangest place I've ever been.
I did a stint as a FIST team leader doing Tank Company Western Corridor duty in 1984. While I was in the field a Soviet citizen defected to South Korea by dashing across the DMZ in the JSA. There was a firefight when the North Korean guards pursued the defector. You can imagine the radio traffic that ensued, and the alert warnings that went out.
I also spent a month as FDO at Firebase 4P3 in 1986. I was happy to be there since it was a vast improvement over Firebase 4P1 which it had recently replaced.
