So much changed since ‘04. No more Sin City haha. Thanks for posting this video. Makes me wanna go back & visit! P.S. I see the “flower lady” is still there
Yes it changed a lot, the businesses comes and go, although some have stayed strong and survived during the pandemic. Would you go back to Korea again?
Vastly different from when I was there (1985 - 1988). Back then, going down past the railroad tracks was off limits. The bars stayed open till 04:00 when I first got there in '85. Speaking of bars, I hardly saw any. It looks like "the Ville" (as we called it) is now all shops and restaurants.
Richard Johnson thanks for dropping by! Surely did even though my first glance of it was back in 2013. What else do you miss here at Osan? I might be able to capture it. 👍
Awesome video, I was stationed here 3x and I'm retired now but I still think about good ole Osan. I noticed they made more apartment complex. Beer and Rio Grill got me fat! Thanks for the video, it was cool to look back again. My favorite base by far!
ELMER POSADAS what year were you here? It really changed since my first time here was 2013 especially during HPCON C and with Covid. If there’s any places you want me to capture let me know. Please don’t forget to subscribe! 😁 Appreciate you dropping by! 😁
@@marvinmiraflor1257 My first time there was 2003-2004, 2006-2007 & 2009-2014. I retired (USAF) out of Osan. I have so much good memories there, I really want to go back as a GS. Is the Mustang club still open? I always go there to get my cappucino. Pool, Beer, and Eat was all I did. You brought back good times for me...missing it!
@@marvinmiraflor1257 no because I was the DJ at the club so it was quiet once I got home.lol. ya know I'm 50 yrs old now and I would love to come back to osan the get a civilian job. Would you happen to know how that could be done?
I'm jealous of you guys stationed there more than once. My first assignment in Korea was Osan 82-83 then Kunsan 97-98, and 2002-2003. Still have my custom mother of pearl dresser with large mirror on top I got at a local factory down toward end of main street then off a side street. Place sure has changed! Thank you for taking this. I still remember the ally ways and side streets not to mention the clubs.
No problem! I am glad that you enjoyed watching it and brought you back to memory lane. My first time there was 2013, I bet the old days was better. Lol.
The Boogie House is still there in Aragon Alley... I was there 26 years ago. Wonder if they still serve snake shots there? It was soju poured from a bottle that had a large snake in it. Smelled horrible, but you earned a Boogie House t-shirt if you could down five shots. The trick to doing that was to not breathe through your nose and down all five shots quickly. If you allowed yourself to smell the shots, you probably wouldn't make it through drinking all five.
Not sure if its still there, bars and clubs have been off limits for a year now due to the pandemic. I bet SED was a lot better 26 years ago. 🦾 Thanks for visiting my channel! 😁 Appreciate you and thank your service!
Apologies, I didn’t intentionally do that lol, businesses come and go here. It keeps changing every time I get stationed there. It’s amazing how other businesses there stayed strong and stayed competitive through out the years.
Wow the doll shop is a 7/11 now ? Used to be where we exchanged our dollars, they always had a better exchange rate than the base. The base ignored it, had dolls in the windows but just a desk and a few chairs. Place sure has changed. Where’s the old lady as soon as you walk out the gate, “you want nice young girl” ! Worked tons of overtime there, we were #1 in the squadron for overtime, 51st CES plumbing shop up in hill 170 right next to the water plant, they were putting the primary power underground while I was there, we used to have like 3 water main breaks a week they were always hitting them. Only 5 of us in the shop, had a good time there though and great group of guys, few times they had to search town to find us and come back and fix a water main or some drunk took out a fire hydrant. Good times.
I was there 2013 and its been a 7/11, there’s a dollar exchange still right next to 7/11. Songtan Sally wasn’t captured in this video and I didn’t see her when I was there from 2017-2020. The “Flowah Lady” was captured on this video tho. Haha ya definitely busy base but there’s always something to look forward to after work and during the weekends. The camaraderie makes a big difference here especially when you get a chance to go out with our Korean counterpart whether they are civilian or ROKAF.
@@marvinmiraflor1257 well the flower lady is easily like a 100 then, 😂 I was there 35 years ago and she was old then. There used to be a hose bib right outside the main gate to where we provided the town potable water, they were always lined up with containers getting drinking water, their water was like being in Mexico, never drink it. Town certainly has been upgraded, that base is their livelihood though. Do they still you not to cross the railroad tracks ? Buddy of mine got stopped by the knp when I was there, took all his money, watch, even his sneakers but he didn’t get arrested.
@@bluecollarwatches7048 railroad is still there and we can walk there with no issues. They installed cctv everywhere now to reduce their crime rate and it actually works. Oh wow water is still a thing there which I love but not on SED. Malls usually have filtered water where you can get free water using a water cup. You can’t really get thirsty there. You don’t see KNP there anymore, GIs are the ones that control the craziness there now at night. Korea really improve so fast you should visit again. My apartment there was the nicest one I got in my career. It was so high tech, even my fridge got a wifi lol.
What's the best hotel to stay at in Songtan I'm going there with my daughter she is 16 my brother is going to be there with his wife her family lives there I would like to stay at a place that would be at the center of everything in songtan any Recommendations Would be appreciated
Rachel Noh Official hi Rachel thank you visiting my channel! Please check out my other videos too and I hope you enjoyed them. 😁 I have never been to China and only saw it in movies lol, but I think I get what you are saying. I guess because of the diverse people within the video.
Nice video. Good to see the Flower lady too. Wonderful memories of Osan/Songtan.
So much changed since ‘04. No more Sin City haha. Thanks for posting this video. Makes me wanna go back & visit!
P.S. I see the “flower lady” is still there
Yes she is! Good eyes and no problem!
Wow! I was stationed at Osan from 2006-2007 and Kunsan from 2013-2015. Osan has changed a lot! Many fun times there!
Yes it changed a lot, the businesses comes and go, although some have stayed strong and survived during the pandemic. Would you go back to Korea again?

I feel like I'm right there 😆
Anna Lee haha really? That was the goal haha. I would like to do more of this but we had a huge outbreak again here, not sure if you heard about it. 😭
Wow such a different place 15-20 years ago. looks nice
Richard Johnson thanks for dropping by! Surely did even though my first glance of it was back in 2013. What else do you miss here at Osan? I might be able to capture it. 👍
It's been a long time since I live there and d flower girl still selling
Salamat sa pagbisita! It looks different now huh?

Robert Tristan Crame Let’s go bro! Safest country right now! Lol!
@@marvinmiraflor1257 haha for sure, maybe when the boys are a little older!
Robert Tristan Crame or get a GS job here lol. Closer to Japan too!
Wow. I was there 92-93 then again in 95-96. It's alot different now cleaned up I actually lived above the heavy metal club in 95-96. Best time ever
Was it hard to sleep at night? I bet the people and music were a lot louder back then.
@@marvinmiraflor1257 no because I was the DJ at the club so it was quiet once I got home.lol. ya know I'm 50 yrs old now and I would love to come back to osan the get a civilian job. Would you happen to know how that could be done?
@@DashinRoundtheDesert haha nice! Usajobs.gov is probably the best place to check jobs there at Osan.
@@marvinmiraflor1257 thank you I appreciate the info. I also heard that osan isn't a remote tour anymore. Is that true?
@@DashinRoundtheDesert yes you can bring family now if you have an approved CSP.
Nice video. R

Nice!
Ray Richardson thank you Ray for visiting and checking my channel! 😁
Wow. It was sure way, way different when I was there 69-70. It has really improved...
How was it back then? What’s your memorable experience at SED?

@@DashinRoundtheDesert wow amazing how it changed.
😍😍😍
Dane Mendoza thank you sa pagdaan! Baka naman pwede mo kami uli ipromote lol.
@@marvinmiraflor1257 Yes naman po 😍 Kayo pa ba 😎😉🤗
Flowa Lady at 25:45!
Good eyes! No Songtan Saly?
@@marvinmiraflor1257 When I was there in 19-20 Songtan Sally and her minions were in full force at night!
I heard they kicked her out of Songtan. Lol. I heard she is lingering in Itaewon.
Nice video! Come by our shop sometime.
Pretty up-scale now. I didn't see Skinny Moma's or any other places I remember.
When were you there?
@@marvinmiraflor1257 I was at Kunsan 79-80. Came up to Osan many times to party with friends that were stationed there.
What's the best hotel to stay at in Songtan I'm going there with my daughter she is 16 my brother is going to be there with his wife her family lives there I would like to stay at a place that would be at the center of everything in songtan any Recommendations Would be appreciated
Apologize I usually use the base lodging when I am in the area or stay at a friends apartment.
Nice vid bro. Do you know any good leather jacket shop overthere?
There’s a lot of them that do custom jackets, jerseys, suits, etc. I’m pretty sure one them can make you one.
Thank you! I hope you subscribe to my channel! It will really help a small youtuber like me! Appreciate you for stopping by!
@@marvinmiraflor1257 I got two at Mike's Arcade (one with "free" shipping back to the US); but like you said, many other places.
is the beer bunker bar still there?
I don’t remember seeing it, a lot of bar businesses converted to restaurants last year due to covid to keep their business going.
I missed it I was a juicy girl before heheheheh 2009
Buy me one 😂
I liked it better in 83.
I heard those were the good times!
Dude that was party city back then, I hated town patrol they would stop you when you were staggering back to the base ! Good times.
@@bluecollarwatches7048 Yeah, but the Town Patrol always had condoms in their pockets if you needed one.
No binjo ditches
