    Our unit the 556 Med. Company moved from Crailsheim to Wiley in Jan 58. Remember the good times. Try to forget the middle of the night alerts and cold weather. Lots of good people and good beer. Long time ago and lots have happened since. Hope everyone statoned at Wiley and West Germany so long ago are still standing up right and having fun.

      David- I think I remember you? I seen your comment on the Crailshiem site, I am the one who went to Lebanon. I was originally with the 546th then went over to the 417. Do you remember a guy they called Harry the Horse(Harry Buckman)? Bob Tomashek

      Don’t remember Harry the Horse. Do you remember Dallas H Crabtree in the 556? He had lots of WW2 fruit salad and was one of my beer drinking friends. Yes, we drank too much beer. I did run across a 546 Sargeant in San Antonio. I was pumping gas and saw this Sargeant pumping gas at another pump. I failed to talk to him. I don’t remember his name but you would remember him. This was back in 1971 right outside of Ft. Sam Houston. I was working for a control company at the time. Have a good day.

      Really funny you ran McD’s.

      I was 15E in Bravo 1/81 from 6/78 to 2/81. Came back civilian 4/81, married my girl (lasted 2 yrs.), & worked at Neu-Ulm McD’s from 5/81 to summer 82 (?). Next worked in aluminium mill in Weissenhorn (where I lived) until 9/83. Left my adopted country & never went back.

      Even after 30 years, I still miss it.

      PS: I would cut off one of my fingers for just one glass of Ulmer Munster Krystal Weizen. Just one glass & I would die a happy man.

      To BT Lynch. The American owner had over 500k stolen by his trusted German GM and lost the place in 1988 to new francise owned by Werner Paul of Kempten. I went to work there in 88 and flipped burgers for a month before making shift leader then GM in late 88 after attending hamburger college in Munich. Lived in Illertissen-Au until 1993. Opened the new autobahn McD near Gunzburg (Jettingen-Scheppach) and worked for francise owner Silvia Starkman. Quite a time. Worked in HHB 1/81st as Bn Commo Chief til retirement. You can contact me by e-mail aloien@yahoo,com if you want to chat.

      Yep – I’m sure he was the same owner that I had back in 81. Nice enough guy – dammed if I remember his name though. His GM at the time was a Turkish guy who smoked alot of hash down in the cellar.

      I really liked working there, on the corner by the bridge, Used to go down to the river on my breaks.

      I sure miss Neu-Ulm. I’ll never forget my adopted town…

    I came across this site and it brought back so many fond memories for me (well, those I can remember after having one Geisenhalbe too many). I lived in Neu-Ulm (first Voehringen then Ludwigsfeld) as a civilian from 1979-1990. Wiley and Nelson barracks were my home away from home. So were The Shake Up, Red Max (Blackhouse), Capos, Uncle Sams and the lake in Ludwigsfeld in the summer. I made so many friends there..to name a few…Brian Liston, Clyde Booth, Paul Rangel, Alec Smith, Steve Toth, David Hawk and more too many to mention. I visited Germany four years ago and I can’t believe how much things have changed. Take care, Karin (Wuest) Murphy

    was stationed wiley may 1955-oct 56 47th regiment 9th inf div. the russians sent the tanks into hungary to stop the revolt that killed thousands of civillians. Ike was president and had been through the 2nd world war and let the issue die on its own. training was the name of the game and oh yes the alerts getting all equipment to a designated area. but the beautiful fraulines and the munster was fun to clime and see the danube out below.
    oct fest in munich awesome under the tents every one swaying and drinking the good brew. not the same wiley now. ahhhhh to be 20-21 again.

      I was a kid when my Dad was stationed there from ’55 to late ’57. I remember the Hungarian Uprising quite well. My Mom was told to pack bags for us and await being told to report to the commissary for evacuation to France. I stood out on one of the the street corners in Wiley and watched tank after tank going by to be deployed on the border. Fortunately, the Reds didn’t cross the border into West Germany,

      How are you doing Jerry? I was with you on SSG Hackney’s base piece. Rick (Animal) Carroll was our driver and Jim Robinson and I were your fusers, loaders & charge guys. You were an assistant gunner when I first got there with you at Graf in March of 73. Michael came along later to the unit. Red sent me an e-mail picture of the three of you a while back. What do you guys hear from Sumner? Hope you are doing well!

    I was with B Btry, 2/33rd FA there from March of 1973 to October of 1974. I see some comments from my good friend, Geary ( Red) Cottrell and mentioning the Dicks brothers, Joe Stretch & William B. Sumner. We had lots of good times at the bowling alley, theater, service club, EM/NCO Club plus many trips to the river during warm weather. Also saw someone from C Btry during that time. Wonder if they remember Bill Digh? I can’t remember the name of the Chief of Firing Battery for them but got along well with him and their unit armorer. Where has the time gone? It’s probably in the same place some of my memory has gone. Great to see some of the comment about Wiley, the 1/81, Delta Engineers of the 249th, the 1/32nd Honest John FA and some of the 1/4 Cav.
