   I was Stationed at Sullivan barracks, from April 1992 to May 1994 I scored 1000 during tank gunnery at Graph in 1992. I was also the Dj at the club downtown called the Alcazar, or zoo. I am looking for My mechanic that worked on my m-1 his name is Aaron Bennett. Look everywhere can not find him. Also when I left i didn’t know i have got my girl friend pregnant. Her name is Sylvia, I really forgot her last name or maybe I’m spelling it wrong, I think its Larivichi. Can anyone maybe help me locate her, or give me a website to locate war babies. I’m going crazy knowing I have a baby girl over their i can’t see her, just once. I know my baby girls was born in May 1994, the day I left Germany. She was born in the Ludwigshofen hospital, that is all I know. I don’t speak good German. Thanks my Army Buds hope you have some infor\

     Sgt Boudreau. It was a pleasant surprise to see this post. I left there in August of 1982. I was with A, C, and HHC. I actually commanded B Co during REFORGER.
     Capt. David Ermi is my brother in law, having married my sister when he came back to Fort Knox in 1983. I hope you and your family are doing well. As I recall, you and SFC Mowrey were our Master Gunners.

     SFC Conrad Bilodeau was a Master Gunner in 5/68. I think that’s who you remember.

     SFC Mowrey was there when I arrived in the fall of 1982. SFC Henery Allen was the BN MG. I was the A Co. Master Gunner.I remember SSG Larry Beauvais I think he was in A Company and later was the MG for C Company. I beleive he was killed on his Moter Cycle after I left in late 1985.

Ron Guess was the initial driver, both SSG Wolf and SSG Holmes were gunners, 1LT Schultz was the TC. CPT Chanler and CPT Connors were the Company commanders. First SGTs were Cathey and Eddie Velez. One of our Company members, Pat Trornton, started a unit Face Book page in Dec 2011. Page title is “Company C, 5th Battalion,68th Armor at Sullivan Barracks, Mannheim, Germany”. Looking for any and all former unit members primarily from 1972 – 1976 but open to all. Currently about 18 FB unit members with many additional contacts; about 140 + photos and many, many fond memories Really great finding old friends.

     Jim, i remember you and keith. I’ve got some pictures of the poolroom we built in the attic. I will try to post to share. i’m trying to learn how to use facebook. I was stationed there from 1972 thru 1974. I lived offbase with my wife for awhile. My MOS was tank turret repairman but I got into supply and got to drive the truck(which had a good heater). Sargeant Brown was the supply sargeant and Jeff Loechner (Pookie)was the armorer. Do you remember Dunn? i think his nickname was RAT. i think he left early 73. He drove the supply truck before me.
