Looking for Marines who deployed to the Korean DMZ on a Det-3 out of 1st Radio Battalion (Hawaii). Whether it was on a 1970s Det-R or an 1980s or early 90s Det-3, we (myself and 16 other such Marines) have started a Yahoo group to reconnect with old buddies and share stories of our time in Korea each winter.

You would be our first member who hadn't been on one in the 80s (we have a few that did the 90s Dets but that was after they done some in the 80s). If you know of any others pass on the link.

Again, this group is open to all 26xx-types, most of us served in the 80s but we have members that date back to Viet Nam and members that are still on Active Duty. Come and share your stories & pics of your time at the Rag Bags, or at MSB Company, or at DLI/Corry Station/Goodfellow etc.

We are still around and kicking, we have over 200 members now. We still have our old Yahoo email group site up and running, though we have a newer site we use to keep our day-to-day comms going (you can get to it from the old Yahoo group site.)

We had our first ever SIGINT/EW Marines reunion in Vegas back in June 2007 with 19 former Rag Baggers in attendance and a few other spouses and friends to boot.

This year our 2nd annual reunion will be in Winter Haven, Florida in mid-June and we are expecting a larger turnout so get contact me if you need more info.
