   I was stationed there from ’79 to ’83 with A Co 2 Bn 4th Inf, 3rd Platoon 3rd Squad and it was the best time in my life (single at that time) is what I tell my wife now. Man, I still couldn’t wait to get out of there.Looking for more buddies from my platoon, found one Arthur Hartman from Texas.

   I was the reenlistment NCO at Battalion Hqs for 3/71. It was a Nike Bn then. Great assignment. I loved visiting all the different Batteries, reenlisting folks. Battalion Commander at that time was Ltc Schulz. Csm Pete Moracon was the Bn CSM. Best CSm I ever knew, an Airborne buddy from Bragg. Does anyone remember the Esso gas station just outside the kassern. I was there from 1973 to 1977. Lived in Pattonville with my wife Bonnie. She’s still with me. We’re 71 years old now.. She worked at the PX at R.B. at ToyLand. While she was doing that, I was Hang Gliding with a group of German friends from Kornwestheim. Best assignment I had. Managed to do 25 years before I retired in 1985 at the Presidio of San Francisco (my hometown)

     Hi, Msg.Lucero. I was in Hq. battery from 5-74 to 1-75. I remember LTC. Schulz and the CSM. was Alston at the time I was there I worked in battalion maitenance for CWO Beckwith. I was one the guys from the DSP platoon when we all were transferred from Karlshure in th spring of 1974 right after the building was renovated. Both Wilkens and Gerzewski barracks are long gone but I have fond memories of both places.Feel free to contact me as I recall a lot of the guys names.

     LOL, John, you probably tried to get me to reinlist. I was at HHB 3/71 from 3/76 thru 9/78 in communications. You don’t realize how well you had it until you get older, those were some of the best years of my life. I still will never forget the wursts and chicken at the bahnhof station in Kornwestheim.
