CAMP RED CLOUD, South Korea – The Camp Red Cloud Community Activity Center’s “under construction” sign has at last been removed and it’s back in business. After a long construction period, which started May 2010, the CRC CAC opened its doors again in early February.
The renovated activity center has free Wi-Fi, pool and pingpong tables, board games, a video game room with gaming systems and sound-proof musical rooms – all free of charge. It is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
“The best part for me, since I am part of the band, is that the sound proof room has all the instruments to play with,” said Pvt. Shin Dong-Chan with the 2nd Infantry Division Band. “I think it is a wonderful environment to practice instruments as a team with people I like.”
“Our goal is to provide better community service for the better quality of lives of soldiers, Korean nationals, civilians and family members,” said Yong-ae Black, the CRC CAC director and CRC Better Opportunities for Single Service Members/Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation adviser.
Not only does the CAC provide a place to hang out, but it also holds special events and contests. Saturdays, gaming enthusiasts can test their skills against other gamers while pool sharks compete for bragging rights every Sunday. Pingpong tournaments for weekdays are also being planned. CAC also supports BOSS and FMWR activities by offering a place for their events and meetings.
“For soldiers stationed overseas like me, it is great news that we now have a place to hang out and have something to do when we are bored. The CAC on post will definitely enhance my quality of life in Korea. I look forward to visiting the place,” said Nebraska native Pvt. Andrew Boon with Headquarters Support Company, Division Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion.
The CRC CAC will celebrate its official opening on April 2 with a ribbon cutting ceremony at a time to be determined.
