    K G was the spot to be at! Out side the gate we all went to the Brick House; the bar outside the gate. The bowling Alley was nice too. Then we all went to The WoodLand Club in Geissen. Every body know me as Freak Nasty! I was there 1995-1998 and then I went to Geissen in 1998- 2005. And now I am in Vilseck now with m wife and daughter.

If you were with the 3rd/33rd around that time e-mail me at fred@patmillikenford.com, I know where a few guys are. BTW- I hated it then LOVED it.

    I was stationed at the rock from 88-90 C Co 2/32 Ar and then HHC 2/32. Does anyone remember the name of our 1st Sergent from Charlie Co? I was the one that was run over by a HMMV in front of Command HQ and subsequently squeezed out of the Army. I loved the service but I was no good to them after my accident. I am just trying to get some information because the Army lost all my documents. Thanks for any and all help!

    I was there when they closed it down. It was a sad day but the Kaserne was old and had seen its better days.

    I was stationed at the “Rock” from Dec 1969 to Jan 1972 with D122 maint. When I was in Frankfurt waiting to be assigned to a unit I remember being told how the only place you didn’t want to go to was the Rock, so of course that’s where I went. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to be.

    I was there from 1987 to 1991 HHC 3/36 infantry turned into 5/5 cav about a year before we were deployed. We were in the first barracks on the left as you come in the front gate before I moved off post. I still remember bouncing people out of the Second Home. And coming out of the bar to daylight was usually not a good sign for PT that morning. Man I drank alot of liquor at that post. Party on the 1st and broke on the 5th. The trips to Red Light District used to make my money dissapear quick for some reason.
    I also remember the racks of licher beer we used to haul back to the barracks. You could get wasted for like 5 marks which was only like $8.00.
    And the Bar up the street in Butzbach that sold EKU28. I would love to find that beer again. It was 28. alcohol and looked like coca-cola. Man I miss those dayz. I would love to go back on day. But its all different from what I have seen.

    Former 527 MP Detachment Soldier. From 1994 through 1996. Remember “Mom” who ran the bar across the street from the main gate? :P Those tankers were a wild crew for MP’s to keep under control. Lots of good times between KG & Wiesbaden air field. (Company HQ)

    I was stationed on the Rock from June 1969 to Dec 1970. I was in the 2nd 36th inf. Co.C. I’m planning a trip to Germany this fall and would like to re-visit the Rock. Is it still there?

      I was there when it closed in April 97, I drove by there once in 2002 and it was still there, closed and empty. That was such a small area, I am certain remnants of still remain.

        Not much anymore. The last I saw the church and water tower were still there. The place was demolished and turned into a storage / staging area for BORK trucking company.

    I was on “The Rock” from ’72-’75 and served with B Co, 3rd Bn 33rd Armor (“The Pickles”). When I arrived @ KG there were a lot of drug and race related problems, but by the time I left, things had been cleaned up and serving in the 1st Brigade, “The Rock” and “the Pickles” was great!

      Even though i dont know you Todd, I figured i would say “hey”. I was stationed there from March 1988 to March 1990 with HHC 4/32 Armor. I transfered to Fort Hood TX. Sometimes i wonder if made the wrong move. I left all my friends at the “ROCK”.I ended up being deployed for Desert Storm with 1/8 CAV 1ST Cavalry Division with guys i barely knew. I had a great time on the “ROCK”. I found out Fort Hood was a whole different “ANIMAL” .
