      Hi Larry,
      I missed you by 3 years. I was in the 116th, later renamed to 45th from 79-91. There is a facebook page for Merrell Barracks and also one for 45th Ord Co, check them out.

      Hey, Chris – I spent my first few nights at Merrell as your roommate.

      As I recall, we had a bit of a falling out, but those were some great days, weren’t they?

      Hey Joey, I was there at the 359th from late ’79 to early ’83. Health problems keep me from remembering many names back then, but I do know it was a mostly good time, especially the first year.

    I was briefly stationed at Merrell Barracks in 1969 before I got shipped out to the Rock at Binlach, near Bayreuth.

    I would love to hear from anybody that remembers me from that time, especially Munter who accompanied me on an R&R when I got a European discharge.
