Different Yancey. I am talking of John Yancy, we were on 313 together at that time and went to Panama after John volunteered me with him and another guy from the company.
I picked on 2d Bn only to throw a dig on your old Bn. Sorry, it was a cheap shot.

Batman is global!
I remember hearing the Batman story in Korea, it supposedly happened to an MP (NO! say it ain't so...) in Uijong-bu, where there was a small US/UN airfield within the city limits. This was around the 1985 time frame.
The closet door opening...that's the hilarious element.

Heard that one in 81, during my first Flintlock. Was attached to signal co., for my 6 month stint and fresh out of the Q course. Our Co. gathered us all around and told the story-reminded me of a camp counselor trying to scare the kids. While I never was handcuffed, I did manage to take a dip in the English channel!! Remember how they bused all the brit woman in for the club? Good times.

Judge - I think we had our first Flintlock together and that is also where i heard the story! I was a PFC in the MI Co at the time. Two of our guys were picked up at a bus stop by some local schoolteachers and had a much better time than batman! I remember them busing the ladies in and the no camera policy inside the club. Cant remember if it was 81 or 82 that Jimmy Trainor's team kept getting in trouble both inside and outside the club, they were bored to death the CO was happy to get them deployed. When I got back from Q course in 84 they switched Flintlock to every two years which probably made Grp Cmdr happy less of a chance for trouble. What team did you eventually end up on?

I have my doubts about it. Seems to me it is a story someone heard in Britain and decided to have some fun to see if it would stick in 10th. Then Korea picked it up, the Royal Marines probably have had it for longer than 10th, since they are nearer to the original myth than us Yankees...

I met the victim at Sculthorpe in 1979. Again. 10th Group HQ MSG that had a twin brother who was also in the 10th. That kinda narrows it down...
