except for three times we almost saw some action. My DMZ was at Panmunjom, also some secret stuff, staring down N. Korean guards, getting hostile fire pay and being sprayed with Agent Orange. My camera at the time was a Minolta SRT-101, some photos I took were strictly forbidden of course.

Might as well take the tour, most everyone has had to endure it:
