I'm currently in ROK but not because of martial purposes. How is it like being an Army DJ? Is there anything unique or different?

yo monty I was djing in Peyongtaek not long ago, love the army base there lotta fun. check out Enterprise and Zeus Club, and be carefull with the philipino juicy girls ahahahaa.
If you go to Mrs Harley's place to have breakfast, tell her DJ ResQ from France said hey!

www.facebook.com

the last time i went to Enterprise, it was dead. Lol tell me about it. I'll stop by once I head back to the Hump

Enterprise was full.... when I was there hahaha.
Damn I miss korea, I'm going back next winter fo sho, how long are u based there?

not in the Army but I was out in Camp Humphreys and Peyongtaek when I was in the Corp. Had fun times on the base and out in town. Say hi to the protestors if theyre still out there

Cool thread. I am also in the Army. I am not deployed in Afghanistan. I know there are a lot of DJs in the Army just that they probably don't log into serato.com.

We used to throw down back in '93 at Camp Kyle.........I miss being a young Soldier sometimes.

im stationed here for a year, but trying to extend my deployment. i love this country. the last protest was held at the pyeontaek train station lol.

DJ'd in the army for most of my army career. Im out now and strangley I had more gigs when I was in the army cause I knew way more people. DJing in the army is fun. You get your whole unit to come support your night get drunk and have blast. Some of my best gigs was pcking the club full of soldiers and turning that place upside down....

damn I miss Savannah

Army Fort Hood 4th ID and 1st Cav 2004 to 2009

National Guard from 2009 - now.

United States Army 1990 to 1998.......what a blast and think I knew a million people during those years!

My social blows since I've been out of the army. I use to get gigs so much easier oh I would never go active duty again way to much army bs

Army here 22 years, in VA now soon to be Texas again....blah. Whatup Remy!!!

WOW.... I've met a lot of people in the Army that says they DJ but turn out to be a double click DJ. Just now on this deployment met a real DJ for the 1st time. I've been in the Army since 1997 on active duty.

@remy, are you doing clubs in VA?

what sup crank!



no Im not but would do it if I had the chance

Vic your avatar looks mad nice since the forum got updated

Whats the DJs name that you met and what makes him a real DJ? I am just curius, my turntables got more combat time them most Soldiers. lol

I think he goes by DJ Will (last name Williams). What makes a real DJ? Someone who actually mixes the music and not just play the next song when one ends.

So does he mix, cut, scratch, blend, turntablist? im trying to figure out what he did that was special that made him a DJ some other not a DJ? just curious

Haha... he didnt do anything special, just that he mixes well and scratches a little bit. Ok, so what I am trying to say, we have plenty people out here that say they DJ, but when I meet them all they do is play the whole song and when it ends they play the next one... That's what I call a double click DJ.. So, if they actually use turntable or CDJs or MIDI controllers I consider them a DJ, regardless of they level of expertise... They might be categorized as a sucky DJ or a plain good DJ... Makes sense?

Makes sense

Moving to Texas....Blahhhh

I spent 10 years in the National Guard and it seemed that no matter what weekend our drills were scheduled - I had a gig. It was hard trying to run a weekend business when Uncle Sam wanted the same weekends! I also had to rebuild the business after my deployment. I lost a lot of contacts and regular clients. A little bit of work and some good networking got me back in the game.

I have been in 23 years and I have to start all over every 2 to 3 years every time I move, not to mention deployments. Some how I make it work, Its hard in the beginning to break into a new area with established DJs that dont want to help or advise you. But thats what makes the challenge that much better. Most of the time some of the DJs dont have the experience or the equipment to match me so they usually come back. After starting all over in VA I have to move to Texas and start all over again. I have already changed my Facebook page and website to reflect Texas and I already have 2 gigs in the area. Its hard work but somebody has to do it.

More power to you guys! i know when i was in, i barely had time for any kind of social life between field ops/training and pcs a few times and deployments...let alone to even think about djing. Respect.

I did a good amount of DJ'ing when I was in the Army. Was stationed in Germany for 3 years and rocked some big rooms. Also did a little bit of DJ'ing while on deployments. Met so many cool people and always had a blast.

nice logo

I was in Germany for a 3 week training mission back in '96. On our off night, we stopped into a club called Pacha in Munich. I went up to request a song and the DJ gave me the headphones and a crate full of records and told me to mix while he went to the bathroom. About 30-45 minutes later he came back and took over again. I held my own and had a blast. It turns out he was from Florida on an overseas DJ circuit!

Bump

What up man!!! I go by DJ Rome not DJ Will haha!!!

Will AKA Rome... What up bro.. This is SFC Susaña from FOB Shank... How things going for you?

I'm a soldier in the the Air Force in South Africa.

Yay

It's been awhile since I've been on the forum. It has been a blast out here in Korea. Got to meet different types of DJs, but the time is coming for me to PCS very soon. So my new question is, are there any DJS close to Ft. Hood?

Whats up Military DJs check in.

I was a Army DJ for years i played at the E M Club on Fort Wainwright Alaska came to Cali and did the NCO At the former Fort Ord now playing the Presidio of Monterey as a Civilian Contractor no longer Military but still play for them...

What i remember was everyone would claim to be a DJ but they never had their equipment I kno you guys have heard that story LOL.

I was stationed on Fort Wainwright from 2004-2007.
I DJ'd at the refinery a few times. Is that place still open. I also got to play at the Blue Loon which is probably the best place to party in that sad excuse of town.

Check in DJs

Now at Fort Bragg, NC with the 82nd. Getting ready to go back to Afghanistan.

Army 1979-2005, then did 3 more years with them on special projects Middle East. My father is also retired Army First SGT. Went to HS in Germany in the 70's and DJed HS and Community events (what got me started).

DJed while assigned to Germany from 1985-1989. Was deployed overseas every other year after Desert Storm, till retirement (so not much time for music during those years). The Army allowed me to fly nine different helicopters over my 26 plus years including the Cobra and Apache, wouldn't change my life for nothing!

Retired a Cheif Warrant Officer Five, so am well taken care of, which allows me to be very particualar about what gigs I do (just call me a hobby DJ), but I love the music and people.

This seems to be a pretty cool site, I have been on four others for almost two years and this one has a little different perspective, which I like and is refreshing :)

Any Military DJs currently in Germany?
