I left Fort Campbell KY and got to Turley in 1990 and was deployed to Saudi with a female black Captain and a black 1st Sgt—-(can’t remember their names) left there in 1992—anyone remember their names or in the Company at those times ?? I had a friend I lost contact with Mark Kikaknapp (spelling ??? IDK ) Anyone feel free to e mail me especially with possible pics from those times.
I was there from 1966 to 1968 in the 595th heavy truck and was wanting to know what happened to the unit. I can’t find anything out. Please help me if you can. Thanks from an old sp/5 loved the place. Ed
I was in the 595th (Het) from 1973 -1975. The entire 28th Trans Bn moved to Spinelli in 1974. The 595th was deactivated in 1975 and replaced with German CLG workers to take over its mission and equipment. Members were reassigned within the Bn. I went to the 377th Trans (HET) and served out the rest of my tour. The 595th won the National Defense Transportation Award in 1973.
I miss this place..Man, this was my home from 1992-1996 with two major deployments in between that I was caught up in….Anybody from 181 trans batallion in this blog ???
As a young officer stationed at Turley from 1963-1966, I was often duty officer, was able to keep troopers out of trouble and was well fed and kitted up in my years by the men whom I kept out of trouble.
On warm afternoons I walked across the street to the children’s hospital and talked with the kids.
