CommentsHello! I really enjoyed your pics. I was stationed at nelson Kaserne with the 193rd MP Co-3rd Plt from 84-86, back then I beleive it was the 1/81st FA,2/4Inf, a maintenance support unit, and the big red one was in the area.

CommentsI 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 by the Lake)as a civilian from 1979-1990. Wiley and Nelson barracks were my home away from home and 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 loved the pics of the surrounding area and if you have more where they came from, I would love to know if you could post those as well. Anyway, cool site and I will visit it often. Take care...Karin Murphy (formerly Wuest)...P.S.I have pics posted of myself on militaryconnections.com under the 2/4 Infantry and Wiley sites. Maybe someone will recognize me and send me an email (murphysgrl65@msn.com)

CommentsName: Carl D. Oyler Email: carl@indy.rr.com Phone: 800-953-6224 I was a clerk in Svc Btry, 1st Battalion, 81st Artillery, (Pershing Missile Unit)for Capt Orr & CWO Stillman. Our unit of approx 650 shipped to Robert E. Lee Barracks, Mainz, Germany, from Ft Sill Ok, in July of 64. I was at REL Barracks for one yr. Jerry Boruff, Bill Keene, & I got together last Sept (2001) & had drinking reunion. Would love to hear from others. It seems there are no 1st/81st reunions. Presently I am an investigator for a law firm in Marion, IN. I have done some searching for 1st/81st & have had very little success. One of the atty's in our firm handles strictly VA cases. I stumbled across this site looking for some material to assist one of our veterans. He, John Riser, claims to have witnessed a helicopter crash at Wiley Barracks, Neu Ulm, Germany, as his entire battalion stood in muster formation. He was with Battery D, 1st/81st. He was there in May, June, & July, 1970. He thinks it was on a Monday in June, but not sure of exact date. If there is anyone reading this that witnessed that same helicopter crash I would certainly appreciate a contact. Riser only recalls a cple of names in his unit there, LTC Jack Goldstein & SGT E5 James Stein. I noticed the 1st entry in this material is from someone who was stationed at Neu Ulm from March, 70/March, 73. Perhaps he could help, he gave no name, phone, or email. Thanks for any help!!!!!!

CommentsI was stationed at Wiley Barracks Dec. 1953-April 55 I was in Hq & Hq Company with the I&R platoon. I also spent some time in K Company across the quadrangle. I was sorry to see that tore the place down. I have lots of fond memories of that place. About the only thing that spoiled it was having to go to Hohenfels and Grafenwoehr every now and then. Living in a pup tent at 18 below zero aint no fun at all. Curtis Wakley cwak@mlode.com

Remember riding to Stugart for finance, and going to Ulm/New Ulm for a night out. Also remember the base Enlisted Men's Club and Hong Kong Charlie and his "sharkshin" suits. I remember the chopper crash also, "A" battery barracks was almost hit, I remember taking photos, but don't remember the fatality. Also remember the cold nights on manuever at Strauss Field. Was 15E30, which I think was el operator. Never did make E-5. If anyone is out there that remembers me please write. email is danduncan@inet99.net

Commentsi was with the 504th admin co as a personnel management spec....from 1962 to 1964.....mike lea.....any who remembers me.....be glad to hear from you at mikeyme56@aol.com
CommentsThom Boze, Don't remember you either, but like you said, "brother", we walked the same ground. I can't remember what the field site was called, was it Redlington? or something like that, or Interling? HELP, my brain cells are gone. I do know that going to the field for 30 days was better than staying on base. I remember the first night I pulled guard duty in the motor pool. Nice weapon but no ammo. I also remember "making bo-coo" money pulling others KP and guard duty because they wanted to go out the first of the month. If you could hold onto your money until about the 25th of the month you could sell your KP and guard duty shifts for a pack of smokes. Loaned money once but never got it back so I decided the best thing to do was barter in goods than cash. There was this huge black dude named Ovaltine (I think) that was our platoon sgt. Great guy. There was also a cook named Bob (Patton I think was his last name) that I teamed up with for a USO show. Some officer heard us playing one Sunday at the service club and booked us for a rock and soul show to several surrounding camps. Was a lot of fun. Take care and I'll check back in a couple of days.

CommentsHi This brings back good memories. I was in 1/81 FA from 84 to 87. Lots of good memories.
CommentsI was with the 579th Ord at Wartburg in Phorzhiem when the Company moved to Nelson Barracks in Neu Elm Feb 68 to Nov 68. There was just a handful of us left behind I was the SOG and we had one officer with us but I never saw him .Sgt Uwe Korting and Sgt Meyers were our platoon leaders . When they left for Neu Elm I think that I was in charge of the kaserne other than the invisable LT. We really missed our friends that moved but had one hell of a good time with the guys left behind .I can't remember what my job was I think that was just a good place for some clerk in DC to send me after Nam .Great site Dave Keough . dkeo@mit.edu

CommentsWhat a story about wizzing in the potatoes while on KP at Inneringen, but it wasn't me. (At least I don't remember) One thing I do remember from Inneringen, was taking part in painting a duece and a half with glossy OD, what a shine it gave off. We did get in some trouble for that. Also remember "stopping" up the drains on the huge sink basin with face cloths and filling it with water to take a bath. I have some old photos I can share from Ulm. Anyone interested just contact me at danduncan@inet99.net.
CommentsHey, awesome memories... I was in HHB 2/5 2nd Platoon!! From Aug. 85 - Aug. 87. Went with you from Ft Riley to Wiley. This site better stay up FOREVER!! Great to look at and remember all the friends (and enemies :-) Take care. SP-4 Robert Minter (RMinter9412@cs.com)
CommentsHeadquarters, 4/41st FA at Hardt Kaserne, Swabisch Gmund, from 67 to 69. CW3 Richard Proctor was Personnel Officer, and I handled officer/senior NCO records as a (finally) SP5 in the Batallion Personnel Office. Pershing Missiles were the name of the game, but we never once saw the field. During exercises, we did guard duty at Hardt. Proctor was a great Warrant Officer. Dr. Jim Hedstrom, Nashville
CommentsHey Duncan--remember Darby from Two Egg Florida? He plugged that huge sink in my barracks the first time I was at Inneringen. We didn't have showers in our building and had to walk across to the next building. I think you were the guy who showed me how to attach charges to the missile the first day I was assigned to the unit. Eventually became battery clerk and probably did your paperwork to send you home. How about Doppmann? And Sidney (?) from Massachusetts? Smallwod from W. VA? Ray Ruge from Illinois? Paul Anderson-KY. Can't remember your Plt Sgt but there was a Sgt Thomas in charge of one and Lytle had 2nd Plt. Galyean had HQ. Salvant had Mess Hall, Harris was supply sgt. Bunch was the XO, Bird the CO, and Durden the 1SG. Medina had missile maint--the 21 G's I think they were. Lt's were Crawford, Cholis, Pilsbury and a Warrant named Vance. Brewer, Cain, Witsman (?) were clerks. At Inneringen March 71 we had an E-6 who got court martialed for beating up Flynn, but can't remember his name. Razar was there too. Marco Spear. Copeland, Jacobsen, La Salle--too many guys and too long ago. Check out the photos for 1/81, maybe it will jog your memory.

CommentsGreat site!. Lot's of memory. SPC4 Lau from the 74th Pershing at Lagerlechfield 1971-72. Flown glider there with my German buddies at the air field. Anyone remember a freezing winter drill where guys were getting ready for the sac and I had to go on guard duty. Notice sarge had a c-ration can of deisel fuel laying on the pit fire and when it got hot, shot up flames over a foot high. Me and my great idea, got a gallon ration container from my German driver and did the same. Well, out in the field, the German guards were talking about a forest fire that lite the night sky in the direction of our camp. Anyway, when I got back it was nice and warm. Charles, Dixon...

CommentsGreat site. It brought back a lot of memories. My MOS was 15E10- Pershing Missile Crewman. I was with C Btry 1/81 FA for a short time from 1974 to 1975 and was transferred out because I was unable to obtain a surety clearance. My Battery Commander was Major Kedra. I never did get to be a crewman but was assigned the responsibility of driving and maintaining a deuce and a half. Does anyone remember the "dirty 30" ? Our battery participated in a warhead change at Inneringen where I got to lie in the snow for most of the day outside of the Inneringen site humping an M-60, spare barrel, 2 cans of 7.62, my M-16, ammo for that and my TA-50. The little bar at the Inneringen site was great. Really enjoyed that Sonnenbrau. After drinking a bunch of it, I tattooed myself with a pin, thread and india ink. I remember tossing a frisbee in the snow with SSGT. Roten. In 1975, a bunch of us went to the Bodensee for the 4th. of July, rented some small electric powered boats and shot fireworks off out on the lake. Some of the guys I remember were Randall (Space Cowboy), Bitchin Bob Besner, Golson(who crashed his deuce and a half), Laird, Bill Hulse, Olson ( who got a brand new 5 ton truck built in 1958) for the warhead change at Inneringen. I got transferred to the 9th. Engineer Batallion in Aschaffenberg in '75-'76 and ETS'd there. If anyone remembers me, John Kohler, contact me at kohler@nwlink.com. I had some photos but they got lost somewhere along the way.
CommentsBoy this is like old home week. I joined the 5th Platoon of the 579th on Thanksgiving Day, 1966 while it was at Kaiserslautern, move with it to Pforzheim, and moved with it to Neu Ulm. I left there in August 1970 and went back to Redstone, then to Whitesands Missile Range, took a side trip to Green River Utah. Made Warrant Officer at Whitesands, then went to 3rd Platoon C Battry 1/81 FA in Neu Ulm. I have lots of good memories from Pforzheim, Neu Ulm, and last but not least The Inneringen CAS site. Dave Nies <godparent@earthlink.net>
CommentsI was with A/1/81 March 71-April 72 and spent 3 tours out at Inneringen--first one--(March 71-May?)was a double shift to cover for a battery back in the states to fire. We had a 4 beer per night limit at the bar on site and one night a week they were closed (Monday?), but if you went down to the boiler room the little German civilian who ran it would sell you 5 bottles of Sonnenbrau (with the flip tops) for a dollar. You had to bring back the empties to him. I pulled backup alert force on the site about my second tour--September 71--but they never issued us live ammo. The only live rounds I ever had were when we went to a rifle range in the summer to qualify--gave us about 30 rounds and then doubled whatever score we had to meet their standards. Must have been short on ammo. SSG Roten was there with us in 71-72--think he was a fairly young guy, married, had been with Air Defense units before Pershing. Does anyone know if the Inneringen site is still there, and what they are using it for, or did they bulldoze it like they did Wiley Kaserne? Gene Smania

CommentsI am really happy to see that some benefit came from the COHORT yearbook. Thanks for putting together a great site. I have a special place in my heart for Wiley Bks and Neu Ulm as I spent some time there with 2/33 FA '73-'76 and again as the commander of 2/5 FA in the yearbook pictures.

CommentsThis is absolutely amazing. While the yearbook turned out be a great idea, but financially unsound, it seems to be finally filling some kind of purpose. I am sure that Robin Elder still has a few hundred in his attic for sale. Many thanks for whomever put up this site, and posted memories. I have very fond memories of Neu Ulm, particularly, Delmonsingen and the regimental bier. I was the battalion XO, 86-87, and in the yearbook pictures. Harry Emerson (hemerson@direcway.com)
CommentsI was stationed in Neu Ulm from '86 to late '88 with the 193rd M.P. Co. Customs. We lived in the USMCA building on Wiley. Any of you who went back to the U.S. had to clear us first. Anyone remember a Spec-4 Deering? Didn't think so. I am looking for an E-8 from 2/4 ( I think it was ), named Kurt Glover- Etrichs. He was a friend of mine and we lost contact some years back. I can be reached at: wildamericanmonkey@hotmail.com Thanks for putting up this site, and to the entire 3rd platoon of the 194th M.P. Co.

CommentsGreeting's! We may have not served together, but we sure as hell chew'ed the same ground together. For that we must all be proud. Hello to all my Brother's who kicked ass in W.Germany to defeat the East. In Particular the unit's in 56FA Brigade/Command(Pershing) and all support unit's. Plus are brother's in Lance-Nike-Redstone, and other's, who came to defend,before us,and after. Cheerio. 15E/20
CommentsI'm Greg Lucht and served with Svc Btry, HHB 1/81 FA and the Wiley Fire Dept from Feb 70 to Jul 72. Worked for CPT Smith (SVC Btry) who was a great commander (and a little wild)and CPT Reaves (HHB). I keep seeing Thom Boze's name coming up, but I didn't see his Post. Hi Thom!! The last time I saw you was at the Holzkiste that I managed in 73. A lot went down back then: Helicopter crash, B Btry fire, 5 trucks fire bombed, race riots, Baader-Mienhof, Fast Eddie, Pershing's first trip to Graf ( was on SV-103 the Ord Plt wrecker). I was on guard duty at the Main Gate when the Sikorsky went up, popped wqhite smoke and came right down. Inially no one was hurt, but the crew chief (with about 27 days left in the Army) tried to abandon the copter. He didn't know that it was tilted to the right. We yelled for him to stay put but he probably didn't hear us. He ran forward and the first blade stuck him and knocked him down. He was crawling away and the second blade nailed him and took his head off. There was a formation right where the copet went down, but they all scattered when they knew what was going on. I'd love to hear from any of you that know me (unless I owe you money, ha ha). This site has great pictures. Email me at luchtg@traderlucht.com
CommentsMy name is Jay Barnes and I was stationed at Nelson, B Co. 2/4 Inf. from 12/85 - 1/88. I see Bill Bowen has signed this guest book as well and I wonder if he remembers me.

I can be reached at jay.barnes@nmcco.com or jaybird66@pressenter.com
CommentsMy father, ssgt. John W Crownover, was stationed a Nelson from 69-73, from there we went to Ft. Lewis, Washington. He ran the rod & gun club most of the time that he was at nelson. Just wanting to see if anyone remembers him. Thanks Jim Crownover. jkc43fan@aol.com
CommentsI guess I'm an old timer when it comes to Wiley.My name is Don Palumbo.I was the battallion Mail clerk with Hq&Hq 2d Armored Rifle Battallion 41st Inf. 4th Armored Division 1959-1961. Some of the best moments in my life were spent in Ulm/Neu Ulm. Its amazing to see those pictures.Most of the buildings were still pretty well shot up since ww2 when I got there,though they were all patched you could see the straifing that happened. During the Berlin wall crisis I was with the 4th Inf at Ft Lewis,Washington,got extended by Pres.Kennedy and flew back to Germany on Operation "Long Thrust" We picked up our equipment at Bremerhaven and would you believe that on our way to Wildflecken we stayed over one night at Wiley. Now the best---The 41st moved over to Nelson and left Wiley open for all the units coming in from the USA,and not only did I stay there that night but I slept in my old room.Hq Co. was in he fist building on the right as you came in the gate. Fortunately I was able to visit my old buddys at the 41st that night.I stayed with Bob Parker {my replacement Bn.mail clerk}and it was really great to see him. If anyone knows how to get in touch with him,Capt.Theodore Smith,Capt.Sidney C.Lundgren,or 1st Sgt Carlton T. Brown Please let me know. email---patdonusa1usa@netscape.net
CommentsWow,GREAT site! I was in A Btry 1-81 Arty Survey Section Nov70-Jun71. Was just settling in nicely when I got orders for Vietnam. I was in the room at Inneringen the night SSgt Parker beat up Sp/4 Flynn. Parker got busted to E-5 and assigned to D Btry. Yeah, I remember the Bloody Bucket, the EM club and the base theater that wouldn't allow blue jeans! I also had to go to another Bldg to use the showers. Strauss was the Alert Site. Any body remember Arnone's Alert? Survey Section was SSgt Dow, Sp/5 Coulter,Sp/4 then Sp/5 Swenson, Sp/4 Borr & me PFC then Sp/4 Stowe. Dan Duncan--I don't remember you but I'm sure we must have met. rkstowe@att.net

CommentsHello to all former soldiers stationed at Wiley barracks. My name is SFC Rick Beadles, I was there from Jan 84-Jul 87 15E Pershing C 1/81 then later changed to C1/9 (2nd Plt) SFC (poof johnny)Carvender was the plt sgt then.

CommentsHey Great Site!! This is "SPAMBO from 1/81-1/9D-Btry.Staitoned @Wiley 84-87.eeryone Knows what happened to Wiley Kaserne,What did they do to the CAS Sites?By the Way, i got my Cold War Certificate You should All Be Proud!! God Bless,SPC4 Tom "Spambo"Pasenelli
CommentsStowe--sorry I don't remember you. Were you assigned as a KP with Flynn @ Inneringen. I was a new guy and on the opposite shift on KP. We were across the hall the night of the Parker deal. E-5 Razar was with Parker and he got into some of it too as I remember. The only kp's I remember on that shift were Flynn and Love (another new guy). Before I left the site I had been moved to Battery Clerk with Stacy, Cain, and Brewer. Another new guy-Ed Carr-went into the survey section. Love became the armorer with Christopher and an E-5 whose name just escaped my mind. Never knew what happened to Parker--knew he went to Mannheim for a while right after the attack. Some of those names ring bells--Ludwig--did a lot of paperwork on him! I rember a Thompson who was the wrecker operator (?) and got married to another GI's daughter. Marco was in my original platoon and Duncan was in one of the firing sections. Can't put a finger on most of the rest of the names you mentioned in survey. Still in touch with BC, 1sg, and some of the others. Marco was a buddy; from Chicago area. Gene Smania
CommentsGene Smania--Yup, I was on the other KP shift. Do you remember the mess sergeant's names? There was a real tall E-6 and a short and wide E7 or E8 who seem pretty ornery at first but turned out to be OK. I have a picture of Ed (Curly) Carr. Thanks for all the pics you put on the 1/81 site. Neu Ulm was a great spot. You have an email address? rkstowe@att.net
CommentsStowe--the mess sgt was SFC Gaines H. Salvant--about the first or second day Medina came into our bay with him @ 7 AM or so and insisted we had to have the place up and running for inspection every morning. Salvant told him we were his KP's and we didn't need to be up and going at that time because we didn't have to report for duty until noon. Told him to come in about 930 and things would be strack. We were all still in bed, making off we were asleep but we heard it all. Medina didn't like it, but agreed to try it. He came back @ 930 on the dot and we had the place up and running--asked if we could help him and he said no. Never bothered us again. Salvant was a good guy--took care of his men and we went out of our way to please him. I did his retirement papers and he got the OK when we were @ Inneringen in Sep/Oct 71. Walked in to breakfast to find him--THE mess sgt, an E-7--taking orders and cooking omelets! When he got to me I said something about him being real happy and he told me his retirement had come thru, then he offered to cook me breakfast any way I wanted it. Great guy, lost touch with him once he left the unit. The other cook I remember from that stint on KP was sgt Brown--thought he was an E-5, but could be wrong. Tall, thin black guy who turned out to be OK too. It may have been KP, but it was a good job--warm, dry, time off, no hassles from any of the other guys. Us new guys didn't have any clearances yet so they couldn't assign us to pull point guard which was good because they hadn't given us any TA 50 and winter in Germany as we all know is not nice. Later on, back @ Wiley, I remember Salvant having 3 cooks (the whole section), all of whom got a social disease @ the same time and couldn't work with food. That made for some interesting dealing with the other batteries I imagine. Ed Carr got out just before I did--maybe March 72--on that RIF deal. If you could get an NG or Reserve unit back home to take you and you had 18 months in you could go home and serve the rest of the tour with them. If you were a US and had 19 months in you went home, period. Only way to stay was sign an intent to re-enlist or get a colonel or higher to sign some paperwork. Had one full bird on the whole base and he was community leader. I don't remember anybody saying no, I don't want to go home! For the e-mail try techoyr@yahoo.com

CommentsI am Pete Briley. HHB 2/5FA Go FISTERS! This is a great site. Brings back alot of memories. I still travel back to Ulm at least twice a year to visit my twin daughters that live there! The city has changed alot. I was stationed there from 1987-1991.
CommentsIt is sort of weird that when I was stationed there it was hell. But looking back those were my "Glory Days" ... I've never had friends again like those I left back in '88'. I guess everyone understands when I say those were the Best and Worst years, at the same time, of my life!
CommentsIt is weird, I remember we couldnt wait to " get back to the world", counted every day down inside of a year getting short etc. etc. I guess we all find some common ground between freezing your tail off in the mud and /or snow at Graf, and festing all summer long comes down to we were all in the same boat. I do miss the friends, and the ability to party all night and do PT in the a.m.!!

CommentsI was at Nelson '71-'72 at the 579th Ord. Couldn't recognise a thing from the pictures. I can still remember Sgts Glore, Palmer, Roundtree, and some others.

CommentsYour web site brings back many good memories of Wiley and Nelson barracks. I was a civilian working at AEG-Telefunken across town but went to church at the chapel on Wiley from 1970 to 1982. Made many friends at Wiley and Nelson. Was later working in Bonn as an Air Force contractor and had the opportunity to travel to Ulm/Neu-Ulm where the Bonn High School football team beat the Neu-Ulm High School team in 1988. I was the Bonn assistant football coach at the time! Great photos!
CommentsHi... just came on to your site.. Great Job!! I was with B-2/4Inf (Nelson Kaserne) from Oct '72 to Apr '74. Supporting 1/81FA and a tour to 1/41 when Inneringen was being updated. Was quite the airshow the day they moved all the Pershings and equipment out. The Yom Kipper War alert of Oct '73 was probably the scariest moment over there. I turned around to see all the Pershings erected... wondering what was going on as I had heard that the erecting was an 'act of war'. (?) Any other B-2/4 guys out there? Please drop me a note! Would like to catch up with you guys again someday! Thanks, Kevin Keefe sargemajor@hotmail.com Kevin Keefe
CommentsI was at Wiley, 1/81FA HSB from Dec. 82 thru Nov. 84. Got out early and yes that was a mistake; live and learn. I miss many great people there and think of them often. Cpt. Munnyhun, Sgt.

There were also many good things Deutchen to remember and miss: Gold Ochsen Hefe Weizen, schnitzles, currywurst, etc. Those were two of the best years of my life; I had plenty of good times and some not so good times there, like guard duty and CQ, etc. It seems like it was so long ago, but it was just yesterday...

CommentsI was stationed at Ford Barracks, Neu Ulm, 1963-65, HHC, 2nd Bn, 51st Inf. Col. W.W.West III was the Battalion Commander. I'll never forget the night we were called out on "Alert", after President Kennedy was assasinated. The German folks were burning the candles from their windows, as a sign of respect, as we drove our "pc's" down the streets enroute to our rendevous area. I remember climbing the many steps up the steeple Muenster(?), what a fantastic view from the top, I believe about 5 or 6 was able to stand around the steeple top. Yes, it was another time, another place. Thank you for the opportunity to wander back into another era.
CommentsWest Germany, '85to88', great place to be stationed if you were in the US Military.I was:). In B-1/81FA. I just want to say hello to all my Bro's who were in Neu-Ulm at the same time. Regardless of unit or MOS. We worked hard and we played hard. And kicked the Ruskies Ass in to the ground. I will never forget you guys, as long as I suck air!**** See Ya When I See Ya!
CommentsThis is best Keep up the good work. Does anyone out there know anything about the 51st inf I was at the Ford Barracks in the great city ULM 1959-1962 if you know anything let me know. jwblair@kih.net
CommentsHello-I'm a 15 year old teenager from the state of Wisconsin. I am an avid runner and was going through a bunch of books at my church. I came upon "The Complete Book of Running" and was excited to read it. When I began reading it I discovered that copyright was from 1977! As I flipped through the book I found two pieces of paper and clippings from a newspaper. The slips of paper were a form for Request and authority for leave. The name reads Russell F. Herrick. It reads that his Organization and station was Wiley Barracks Neu Ulm Germany Svc Btry, 1/81st FA APO NY 09035 Out of curiosity I hopped on-line and typed in "Wiley Bararcks" at Google. This site came up and I just couldn't resist the temptation to try and find out more about this person. I'm hoping that he'll reply.. chances are slim but I have hope. He asked to leave on 22 Feb 79. I'm sure none of you know Russell F. Herrick BUT If you can reply please do or know how I could find out anything about him it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
CommentsWe enjoyed your website,thank you. I was stationed at Fort Wiley 1972'73'74, with D battery 1st platoon 1/81. Jim D. ace041048661@yahoo.com
CommentsInfo on R.F. Herrick maybe found at Yahoo.com, under group's, PershingMissile is the name of the group. 1/81 FA was a Battion in the 56FA Brigade, Pershing1, P1a, and Pershing 2 Missile was it's unit mission. Or just key in Pershing 2 missile on google and these sites will come up. Lots of history, a unique military brigade. At that time he would of worked with the P1a system. Hope I shed a little lite on it.

CommentsTo the Guy in D 1/81FA, mid 80's, and the M-16 going over the fence while on Guard duty. I was pulling guard duty that night with him. We all came back to the guard shack after being releaved, and crashed out. Next shift he starts screaming that his M-16 is missing, claims someone stole it from the "locked gun rack". Hindsight was, he did not have it with him when we rotated back to the shack, he had already tossed it over the fence to his skank german girlfriend, and he slipped by the SOG when we locked our weapons, until next shift. His name was Pvt Ring, redheaded kid, he went AWOL after this happened and dyed his hair black, while living with his skank girlfriend, CID could not press charges at the time his weapon vanished, so they released him back to our unit. First chance he had, he ran and went awol. We got the M-16 back from his skank girlfriend, no terrorist plot, just a stupid punk. He was married and had a new baby back in the states. This guy was a real loser. Our plt never took to him, he was just one of those types that you knew after being around him for 5 minutes to stay away from. Not sure if he went to Manheim or Leavenworth, or just got a dishonorable discharge.

CommentsHi...I posted a message on here about 2 years ago and thought I'd update it. My name is Karin Murphy (formerly Wuest) and I was a civilian living in Neu-Ulm from 1979-1990. Initially in Voehringen with my grandmother and then in Ludwigsfeld with my mother and brother. Spent many hours at Capos (in Ulm and Neu-Ulm), the Shake-up, Red Max, Blackhouse, the bowling alley across the street from Wiley, and the lake in Ludwigsfeld during the summer months. People I knew were: Brian Liston, Clyde Booth, Paul Rangel, Kevin "Two-ski" Touhy (who I reunited with after 20 years back in December of last year), Tony Scalzo (who passed away a few years ago), Leon Hunzeker, Alec Smith, Steve Toth, David Hawk, Steve Vaccaro, Marjefka "Sparky", John Miller "Hoghead", Robdog, Syd Crandall (who is still married to Evi, lives in Ulm and has two children), and the list goes on. I will never forget those years, the friends/boyfriends that came and went, the happy and sad times we shared, the Geisenhalbes and endless shots of Apfelkornschnapps, but most of all the wonderful memories that remain and seem like only yesterday. If anyone remembers me, my email address is cheesepoofs1965@hotmail.com. Tschuess!

CommentsHi! I've been searching for some old pictures of ulm on the net when I found your great site. I live in Ulm for over 30 years now. As a child I've been @ wiley for rodeo or "hells drivers". The only thing I can remember was your excellent ice cream ;-). Later, as a teenager, I came to buy cigarettes (your Winston really tasted better than ours). And in the 80's I came to you with the "Friedensbewegung" to demonstrate against Pershing@Neu-Ulm (... one of these nurds). Today I'm happy that I found this site. For us in (Neu-)Ulm it's history (as it's for you), but it's very interesting anyway. This might be of interest for you: todays article/picture about the Wiley area in the "Südwestpresse": http://www.suedwest-aktiv.de/region/swp_ulm/ulm_und_neu_ulm/1031959/artikel.php (I think this link will work only for some days).

CommentsGreat site. It has been said a thousand times but it really does bring back great memories. I was station with A & B 1/81 nad the B38 Sig. Satcom operator. Rod Foster Wannabeabeachbum@prodigy.net
CommentsNothing better to do on a Fri night then to stumble around on the web. And lo and behold the pershing pages still exist. I was in D 4/9, 84-87 and C 1/9 88-91, we put them to bed. For those of you who don't know, Wiley was to be turned into a housing area for the citizens so i heard before i left. No telling of lemgrube, i saw 'em tear down the oop's shelters and never had to go back up. Wiley was a real gost town in 91, real lonley. What memories, its real hard to make the outsiders understand about Pershing and its people, glad to see some are still around, and for those of you that rode our shirt tails to glory or just did'nt have what it took to be in a firing battery, we still love ya.

CommentsHi, my Dads name is Golden Link and he was stationed at Wiley from I believe 74-77. He had friends named David Johnson, Sapata and Goreous as well as a guy who use to clean cars that was named "German Joe". I was a kid back then and barely remember these people but my dad would love it if anyone knows where any of these people are especially David Johnson. My dad Golden Link was a cook from 74-77 and I remember going into the mess hall and seeing a big painting of a astronaut standing on the moon. If anyone remembers Golden link please e-mail me at linkartworks@knology.net and I will hook you up with him. Thanks
CommentsMy name is Tony South. (awsouth@yahoo.com)I was stationed at Wiley from 10/83 thru 10/87.I've posted here about a year ago. I was with the unit that went to Riley but stayed in Germany and was re-assigned to 2/5 FA because my wife was pregnant at the time and she wasn't able to make the flight. So they let me stay in Germany instead of going to Kansas. I'm looking for people that may remember me from both units. I was with Alpha Battery before 2/5 came. Then I was in Service Battery 2/5 after they came to Wiley. I was a 45D, Turret Mechanic. If you know me please give me a shout.

If anyone from Schwabisch Gmuend sees this, say hi to Gerhard Keim! Remember St. Tropez? By the way, Bismark was the first "streaking" in Germany. Yea, I was a part of that in '73. Right across the stage during a movie at the theatre. locked down the base for three days till someone confessed, but no one would.

CommentsGreat Site. I'm a student living on the former Wiley-base. It's really interesting to see those old pictures. It's amazing how this area has changed.

CommentsLike some of you, I was surfing the web at lunch and ran across this site. My name is Jerry Jarowitz. I was a SP4 stationed at Nelson Barracks at the 579th Ord Co from Memorial Day weekend 1973 until October of 1975. This site brought back many a fond and funny memory. I was in the Data Processing section of the Warehouse platoon at Nelson and processed all those punch card requisitions that came through from you guys when you needed replacement parts for the Pershing Missile and support equipment. You know those times... when you had too much of a buzz going and hit some of those terrific trees out there in the forests and knocked important pieces loose or off. Or, you turned some corner too sharply trying to make sure you got going in the right direction because the street you were on said "Einfahrt" and all the other vehicles were coming at you. It was nice to see the barracks again in these photos and that familiar building at the end of the parking lot that got so much attention... the mess hall. I remember many a Saturday afternoon walking on that small cut through street that connected Nelson and Wiley Barracks (went through the housing area)on my way to the PX, or walking down the street by the graveyard that led to the AMEX office. Like some of you mentioned, there was some great food and beer over there. And how many hours did we all chase (or dream about chasing) frauleins along the river walk? With a couple of those dark German beers in you, the task seemed much more likely to be successful. And after 4 or 5 of those in you, the outcome was no longer of any real significance. Finding your way back at night across the river through those small side streets surrounding the cathedral was a greater challenge. My wife and I had a chance to go back and visit Ulm in 1996, and I was surprised to see that Nelson appeared to be some kind of housing project, but the baseball field, basketball court, and most of the buildings remained, although in much worse shape then when I left. I was hoping to see if my boots were still hanging in that tree outside my barracks that I had thrown there in celebration of my last trip out the front gate. Alas, somebody had claimed them... and all the others that used to hang there. I took the time to walk up to the top of the Muenster again and look out over the city. Same great view. Although, down below in the Muenster platz where they used to have the Saturday morning farmers market there was a white ultra-modern commercial building that really looked out of place. By the way, that walk to the top is a heck of lot easier when you're in your early twenties! Well, I'm sure we all have some great memories we could post about Stuttgart, Augsburg, and Offenhausen, Einstein's home, spatzle, bratwurst, the big chess board built into the ground in the park behind the cathedral, and near death experiences flying along the autobahn. Enjoyed the trip back into the past and the privilege of serving on the same spot of earth either with, before, or after all of you. jerryjarowitz@yahoo.com

I'm Ric Allen and was stationed in Neu-Ulm from May 71 until Mar 73 at Ulm AAF where I was crew-chief on UH-1s (tail numbers 18648 and 69972). As an aviation detachment assigned to the 1/81FA, we were really just a glorified taxi service for the brass going to and from Inneringen. Spent 30 days TDY in Swabisch Gmund while pilots trained for IFR because all the instruments in my bird actually worked. Saw nearly all of W. Germany from 3,000 fr agl. Even flew to Bremmerhaven on one occasion to retrieve S-2's wife's purse (she'd left it there when they shipped their Mercedes stateside - your American tax dollars hard at work). Other personnel at ULM AAF at the time included CW2 McMillan, CW2 Smith, CW3 Buekelman Cpt. Dixon (AFC), SP5s Rick Meeks, David Ascenzo, Jesse Kimball and Ron Meyer. Great memories of a terrific tour and fine fellows. I lived off-base with my wife in a little town called Thalfingen, but remember well the PX, commisary, infirmary, theater, EM club and "bloody bucket".

CommentsMy name is Don Barker. I was in Commo Platoon (wire section)This is my second post. I found the site in June 03. I was in HHB 1/81 from Nov 75- Oct 78. To Steve Glenn and your post May 2004. I remember you along with Perez,Jennings, Santiago , Short, Holt,Bell, Wright and big Dan Crawford. Not to leave out 1ST Sgt James.I can still picture everones face today. I often wonder if Sgt. James ever stayed in Germany since he was married to a german girl.People in my section were Summers, Krona, and section chief was Ledbetter. I took leave in conjunction with ETS and left in late Oct instead of Early Dec.Needed to go home to Florida for awhile. Great times on the Kasern. Too many alerts though.My wife and I returned in 97 and most everything was in tact. Again in 2000 when my brother in law got stationed at Ramstein near Frankfurt. The barracks were then demolished. Would like to hear from anybody from our time frame in HHB. Ulm was a OK Town. Take Care All. brandywinelee@cfl.rr.c

CommentsI am German and i lived in Ulm. My and friends 2. home was the 1/81. B- Battery. We had many friends there in the late 60's and early 70's and we met us the most times in the B -Battery Rooms. Then we have good music good drinks and good food down the Danube river or we had some drinks, music and Billard at the "Raben" Bar in Ulm. But the most of our american friends must leave Neu Ulm and so the contact breaks. Now i found via Google this site and old times came back - in brain. I only know now the first names of our friends, Paul - i think he had a girlfriend from Thalfingen,, Pete, Don, Huey and many more. So our names had been Klaus (KeyDee), Ernst, Akki - you remember? Remember our deals: Homemade Leberwurst vs Zigarettes? I live now in Switzerland and had a visit in Ulm -i've seen the Wileys - a piece of my life is gone forever - i've heard now russian people live there.

CommentsHello, Amazing site. My name is bill mcdaid and I was one of the original residents of ludendorff kaserne. I was with the 110th inf.reg.,28th div. which occupied the kaserne in 1951. I was an instructor with the 110th NCO Academy. The kaserne at that time housed the 3rd battalion and regimental headquarters. The 1st battalion was in hindenburg kaserne in ulm and the 2nd batalion was in boelki kaserne. I really enjoyed the old pictures and to see the mess hall as it existed at that time. Facing the mess hall to the right was the regimental headquarters bldg which also housed the NCO Academy. Some of the haunts in town at that time was the central,the insel bar,susies,stadt neurenburg. The old pictures were really awesom,thanks again for bringing back old and good memories.

Haven't seen anyone mention the Bloody Bucket outside the main gate, or Rudy's a couple of clicks south - crawled home from both several times ..... Drove by there in '90, place sure looked different! Would like to hear from anyone I knew back then .... Greg Richardson, John Gandolfo, Terry Tamblyn, all of you guys ... John Nelson, FtValleyPS@aol.com
CommentsI am trying to locate someone that was stationed at the wiley barracks between the year of 1963-1966, his name may be john or jonny johns, or johnson.he would be around 62 years old today. One of his friends name was Parker.( South or north Carolina) If anyone was stationed in neu ulm at that time and knew a lady by the name of Vera Andziuk, please contact me at Ladyforever34@hotmail.com It is very important that I find this person, because i would be helping someone locate her father. She has been looking for him for over 30 years now, and does not expect anything in return only to know he is well and alive. Thank you :)

CommentsI was stationed at C btry, 1/81st,Wiley Kaserne,from early '71 (April?) til December '72. Anyone remember the Charlie Battery riot? They set the dumpster on fire and the German fire department came to put it out. The guys fought off the firemen with bottles, etc. Made the nightly news back home! Next day, the big Generals came down from the golden thrones up North to "talk to us" about all our problems with the Army. Saw the Bravo battery fire burn the place down a couple of days before I left. I'm the guy who went through the chow line at the Bn. Mess Hall and hung a pancake on the menu nail above the serving line. The head cook was so embarassed he came and asked me to go take it down and he would personally cook me another pancake. It was really good for a change! Hardly a week has gone by over the last 30 some years that I don't either mention or think about Germany, and Wiley Kaserne. Took a whole lot of photographs there, and many of them are still hanging on my walls today. Took a lot of pics with the lens cap still on too! Ha! Would love to hear from the guys who were there from 1971 thru 1972. Roark, Corder, Brookshire,Masters,Hatfield,you guys drop me a line. I was commo by MOS, but spent the whole time as Training clerk. Then the last three months,I was living and working at Wiley Chapel for the chaplin with another guy from 3rd Herd. That's right, I'm that skinney scrawny guy,Jerry Dawes!! Wish I was still skinny. Wish I still had my hair. Wish I could be back in Germany. Still have some great pictures of Wiley, Inneringen, and Green River in Utah. Still in touch with Chap.Graham from Wiley Chapel. Then,he was LTC. now he's Col.(Ret.)also, the S-2 back then, Capt.Baird, now MAJ.(Ret.)and my buddy from across the Kaserne, Jim Davies. Been a long time to keep in touch with these three. Jesus Saves !!

CommentsLOOKING FOR THEN SSG BARRY WILLIAMS, WILEY BARRACKS, NEU ULM, WHILE I WAS THERE APRIL 1971 thru AUGUST 1972. HE AND HIS WIFE WERE THE PROXY-GODPARENTS OF OUR DAUGHTER LAURA. WE WERE STRAIGHT FROM THE STATES AND YOU MAY REMEMBER THAT WHEN WE GOT INTO QUARTERS, MY WIFE WAS TWO WEEKS DUE WITH OUR BABY. LAURA WAS BORN IN THE AUGSBURG ARMY GENERAL HOSPITAL, MAY 1971 AND WAS BAPTIZED IN THE WILEY CHAPEL. SSG Barry Williams was a Re-enlistment/Retention NCO I believe for the 1/81. We lived in the same family housing building, but in different stairwells. We both lived on the first floor. There was a guy that lived in his stairwell (with his wife) that did not eat all week but would eat anything and everything on the weekends. Barry had a Mercedes, light in color I believe. We drove through the New Ulm tunnel a couple of times with him blowing the car horn. He took me to the skeet range, where I shot skeet for the first time ever; 23 out 25 birds. We had a schauzer named Tiki. There was a nice young couple that lived above us; she was a cute little blonde and her husband liked to play my 12 string Framus guitar to serenade her. They were both petite in size. If there is anyone who knows this Barry Williams and how to contact him, would you let him know that I would like to re-establish contact with him. Or, let me know how I can contact him. I have reserved some things for verification if necessary. I can be contacted at: milantnson@msn.com Richard M. Gilliland, SGT E-5, C/1/81, Apr71-Aug72

CommentsAnybody remember the Bn. Artist from C 1/81 who painted all the murals around the battalion area like the mess hall, chapel, and many other areas like Ft. Blackjack mess hall? His name was Harry Collins, but most people knew him as "Flint". Flint spent almost his whole time in Charlie battery going around the Wiley area painting murals. His last mural was a the mess hall at Ft. Blackjack (Inneringen). I finally got to meet him the day he signed out to leave Germany. -Jerry Dawes

CommentsI was stationed with The 2nd ARB/51st In/4thAD,Ford Barracks, from July 62 to April 64. Our housing area was at Wiley Kasserne.

In particular would like to hear from SSG Wayne Jones, motor sargent, Bruce Wilson or my old Company Commander Richard A Robinson. My email is tlmccullough@comcast.net. I still have contact with some of the "old folks"/ One of the earlier comments listed Col. W.W. West III as the Battalion Commander. He was Commander of Combat Command A. LTC Jackson was commander of the 2nd of the 51st (Fixed Bayonnets) at the time Kennedy was assasinated. He was followed by LTC Kane.

Originally assigned to BN FDC in the Field Artillery Unit, later LTC Larry Graham convinced the BN Commmander, his neighbor, I should be transfered to work in the Chapel.

I rememeber and a few more faces that I don't recall names at the moment. I'm going ot have to dig out my book with all that info about the guys in the section. For a period of time, I was section chief for the BN FDC center. At the chapel, we ran a great program including the Friday NIght think at "His Place". It was a great 13 months I spent there. I still am in contact with Chaplain Graham and Jerry Dawes of the Pershing unit. I was Sgt in Neu Ulm, after discharge, went back in in the Reserves in Springfield, MO, in 1977, promoted to SSG, later qualified for SFC. Left the Reserves 1982 when I moved.

CommentsMy husband, Fredric Pendergraft, gyroed over with the first incrment of the 8 Div. to Ford Barracks in 1957. We lived at Ford Housing at 392 B2. We sure enjoyed being in Baveria, it was just beautiful and still is. Our daughter was born at the 11th Field Airborn hospital in Augsburg. When we were in Permasins (Fishbach) We had the opportunity to take her back to Ulm to see where we lived at the time of her birth and to see the city. I have many pictures from there to remember our good times. Fred retired in 1973 on Guam (515th Ord)) and has since passed away. Shirley Pendergraft

CommentsThis site is GREAT!! My name is Hugh Magee. I was with Service Battery Engineers from 2/72 to 5/73. Yes, I remember the riot at C Battery - kept chantin for the "Hawk" - BC finally showed up - one of the guys hit him over the head with a bunk adapter - he did 5 years in Leavenworth, I think. I remember B Battery barracks burning. Slept thru it, though. Ulm was a great place. I was there 6 months and they sent me on R&R to Garmisch. Had a blast! Got taspped to go back to Green River and fire some rounds. That was a real trip. Going downtown on the bus to town and going to either Ray/s Tavern or the Silver Dollar Saloon - across the street from each other, on the only stree in town. Living in tent city - even had a sandstorm to liven things up. Yes, they tried all rounds the first night and got 2 off - did the other 2 the second night - I was there on the rocks watching. Remember the 8 hour layover in Dover? hanging out at the Service Club and Bowling Alley.Landed at Michael AFB in Utah - left us on an asphalt strip and took off - no one around! took 45 minutes for a bus to come and get us. Had a fireworks fight with D barracks christmas '72. Started out as an accident, but turned out to be fun!. Living in the engineer bunker at Fort Black Jack - blast load 14,000 KG. Loved the Gold Ochsen Bier and the cheeseburgers - made by Ahmed the Turk (won cheesgoorg!) Black Jack One Alpha.....club closed, report to your posts! Wound up in Project Transition - bus driver - been at it for over 30 years now! Miss the old place - post a few pics now. Anyone recognize any one, or remember me, let me know.............hugmag@aol.com
CommentsHello Hugh Magee, read your comments,I've been in correspondence frequently with Richard Gilliland. We were both in C1/81FA and were at the riot. I find that he knew more about the riot than I did, or maybe just a better memory. A few days after the riot, I got a letter from home asking me what was going on. My parents had seen a report about the riot on the national news. I remember most of the places you mentioned. Especially the tent city at Green River. One night during my stay at tent city, my buddy had gone to the movies on the bus. He was always worried about snakes there in the desert. While he was gone, I went over to the laundry area, and got a rubber hose off one of the washers. I placed the hose in his sleeping bag, and waited for him to crawl into bed that night. After he finally began speaking to me again, we had some really great laughs about how he tore up his sleeping bag that night. jwdawes@fullnet.net

I can be reached by eMail at jasson.self@tiscali.de Great Site!! If you are interested in more modern pics let me know because I still live here in Neu-Ulm.
CommentsHey I was just browsing and by chance got into this site. I will like to say hello to those that served in the military but especially those that shared the same period with me. I was 18 years old when I went to Germany and I would say that those days were sweet and sour times while growing up and dealing with the military life, other people, other cultures etc. It helped my formation in so many ways. I thank God for all the great moments, and for the not so great ones as well because they lead the way to experience and self-realization. My Name is Robert Berberena (Sp4), most of the friends from that period used to call me Robby. I was part of the 579th Ordnance Co. from October 6th, 1974 to March 23rd, 1976. My best friends were Johnny Santiago (Puerto Rico), Jerry Jarowitz (Kansas City), Mike Miera (Arizona), James Mutchie (Indiana) Lenny Owens (Philly), Angel Rosario (NY/PR), Robert McCyntire (New York). There were many great friends but I have forgotten their names or the full name, I remember a short guy from New York, Harris, a guy from Montana Natale?. Also, I still remember the names of Suarez, Salgado, Oscar Cruz and two ladies that were part of the WACs, Nancy and Provinchi, and the catcher of our soft ball team Joe Kreneck. I took some classes at Wiley’s high school and they had very good teachers: Laura Zielinsky and Pat Pelham? The officer in charge was Major Lamont(?) and my immediate supervisors were Sgt. Teeny and Mr. Rice. Well, allow me to wish you the very best, please take care. God Bless you all!!! If you wish to email-me my adress is: r_berberena@hotmail.com

CommentsStill looking for SSG Barry Williams, 1st Bn 81st Arty, Wiley Barracks - Neu Ulm, Apr 1971 - Aug 1972, when I was there. If I recall correctly, Barry was a Retention/Re-enlistment NCO. Barry and his wife were the stand-in Godparents for our daughter Laura. Laura was born May 2, 1971, in the Augsburg Army General Hospital. If there is anyone out there who knows Barry or knows where he is at, let him know that I am trying to contact him. Or, let me know and I will contact him. Thanks. Richard M.

CommentsBTW, I can be reached at milantnson@msn.com. Thanks, Richard M. Gilliland of previous message.
CommentsGreat web site. Lived in Neu Ulm from Jan 62 to Aug 65. My Dad was First Sergeant Haynes G. Schuler with 51st Inf Battalion and my Mother Marjorie Schuler. We lived in Vorfeld housing area and went to school over on Nelson Barracks. Had good friends in the Tom Hathaway and Walter Davis Families. Dad liked to frequent the NCO club in the bottom floor of the AMEX bank building, much to Mother's dislike but I think she grew to accept it. I can still close my eyes and hear the sound of the tracks on the street next to the housing area when Dad and the others were called out on alert. Sometimes he came home that afternoon, sometimes it was a month or so before we saw him again. Different Army back then, the youngsters today couldn't cope with that without at least twenty times the base pay , chaplain support, crying towels, and other myriads of support groups. Spent many a good time back then as a dependent and later went on to give the Army twenty two proud years of service of my own. Thanks for the web site, Steven F. Schuler.

CommentsFor those of you who served at Wiley Kaserne around 72-to later years. 1/81 FA mess hall cook assigned to C 1/81 FA. His name was Jim Woodrum. Jim was also a professional steel guitar player for several well known country singers. I finally made contact with his family after 32years. Jim was killed in 1999 in a traffic accident. Some of you may remember Jim at the Battalion Mess Hall, because he was the only one there that knew how to cook, and he was also the only one who ever smiled. He had a great sense of humor and loved to clown around. I've missed Jim for 32 years now, and will really miss him now that I have learned of his death. Our loss is heaven's gain. Jerry Dawes C1/81fa Wiley Kaserner '71-'72.
CommentsHello SFC soon to be retired Jim Stebbins here. I was with C 1/81 and then C 1/9 motorpool from 86 till 91 when we shut her down. I am stationed in Bamberg Germany and have visited Neu Ulm several times. The old memories come back so easy even if Wiley has changed. Just riding around brought back the good times. The bars, gaustehauses, the beer, fests, QARs and all the other fun stuff. The old CAS site has been turned into a automobile company/rental car storage area. Most of the buildings are gone but the palce still looks the same with a little imganation. I spent the best years of my military career in Neu Ulm.

CommentsGreetings from El Paso, Texas. My name is Ismael Esteban Martinez. I served with Bravo Battery, 2/5 FA at Fort Riley from April 1985 - June 1986 and in Neu Ulm from June 1986 - October 1987. My best friends where Elbert Wilder and George Black from Bravo Battery and Willie Kline and Jaime Basauri from Service Battery. I visited Elbert Wilder at his home in Virginia Beach in May of 2004. After I left the Army I attended the University of Texas and earned a degree in mechanical engineering and now work at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, about a 40 mile drive from my home in El Paso. Yes, I still work for the Army, but now as a civilian professional. The one place I remember the most in Neu Ulm was the Zoo. I can still remember my dismay when it was closed down. For weeks and months there where rumors that it would open back up, and I remember going back time and time again to check, but of course it never did. Without a doubt, some of the best days of my life were spent with B 2/5, especially in Neu Ulm. If anyone remembers me, drop me a line. (Andrea Laznik, if you see this please email me.) "Artillery, artillery . . . artillery is the life for me . . ." Regards, Esteban Martinez ismael.esteban.martinez@wsmr.army.mil

CommentsHello, My name is Don Cavey. I was stationed at Wiley from December 1969 to December 1970. I arrived as a SP4 and was promoted on the day that I had to pull KP. Well, the mess sergeant made me complete the tour! Go figure. I am still in contact with Ron Johnson of Abbeyville, KS and Maurice Norwood of Baltimore, MD. I was in Service Battery. My MOS was 21H20/21L20. However I did more driving in Germany than fixing of the guidance section. I took radios and tools for calibration all over Western Germany. Does anyone know where George Erath is? Or Sgt. Tarwater, or Capt. Terrell? They were great guys and we have all lost touch. I have some picture from 1970 and if the webmaster is interestec, I will scan them so that they can be added to the site. While I have made many trips to europe, I have not been to Germany since I left on New Year's eve, 1970-1971. One day... Please, please contact me if you like, I would love to hear from you. kvflyer@comcast.net Vielen Danke!

CommentsI'm beginning to think that all the fellas from C Battery 1-81 FA from 1983 to 1986 have died off. Perhaps one day we can start an "alumnus" chapter for the school of "Pershihg". Early to mid eighties, Those were great times...the clubs, the women, the lifestyle. Great! Also, does anybody from that time frame remember a tall german guy who hung out with the brothers who called himself "Chill Will with the Dollar Bill"? What ever happened to that guy?

CommentsI was in B Battery survey 71 thru 72. Anyone remember Sgt Cleo Dow? Rember Grafenwoehr? We had a good time while we were here. Lots of memories for me and my wife. SP 5 Paul Potter email potterengineering@madbbs.com
CommentsAs you come through the Gate at Nelson, the M P 'S were stationed in the bottom of the building and checked everybody out coming and going. That same building was also home to Company B 2nd BN 4th Infantry division. We had four platoons. We were grunts, straight leg infantry. I was in 3rd platoon, platoon sergeant was ssg Ammons. Platoon leader was 1st Lt. Farrar. We went to Inneringen several times to provide support for the 56th Field Artillery Brigade. Remember the Red hats and the purple hats who dropped in for inspections at the cas site? We also went to the field majorly, as we were grunts and also to Graffenwoehr and Hohenfels for annual military exercises with West German, British and other NATO armed forces. Sometimes there were 5,ooo troops and loads of tanks and other armored artillery. I don't even remember how to get to where the Acropolis was in Ulm. Or the Cafe Lieritz, that had the best food I ever ate.That was 32 years ago. I met a lot of guys with the 56th Field artillery, but I am embarassed to admit I can't remember names. Faces yes, names ............nah. Still I maintain that was two of the best years of my life. And I think this site is top notch. Dan Jefferson dej51inmo@sbcglobal.net

I was privileged to have served under a very fine NCO, and first class human being, by the name of Thomas Snook (SSG at the time). I noticed that he was a contributor, and apparently is still living in Neu Ulm. All in all, I can't say that I would want to do it over, but there were some extremely excellent people that I will never forget and will always thank God for the day I met them. 1/81 FA (Pershing) was the "Beautiful Downtown" place to be.

CommentsI was stationed at C Battery 1/81 FA, from October 1972 until January 1974. I worked in the Motor Pool, PLL Clerk, for the first 6 months, and then I ran the Day Room for my last 6 months and probably played a zillion games of foos ball while in charge of the Day Room. Incredible memories from my time in Neu Ulm, and quite amazing how well the Army functioned while most were either stoned, drunk or both. I can remember my first day, and processing in at various places throughout the base, and could hear clear as a bell the Rolling Stones, "Give me Shelter", and how most of the window drapes in Charlie Battery were tye dyed sheets of bright purples and orange colored sheets that were stolen, errr borrowed, from the supply room. My first night, being the new guy "neufer" and shot gunning pipes of the finest hashish the country of Turkey had to offer, while a stereo blasted at the highest possible volume of Led Zepplin, while a communal bottle of water was passed around to cool our smoked fill throats. It truly amazed me how we could all get stoned before formation in the morning, back at lunch to get a "head" again, and back to the "room" for an all nighter, after dinner, every night of the week. It truly amazed me how well we all functioned at Innerigned when the "hats" would make a surprise visit, and how we would pass their inspections stoned, or in some cases out of our minds on LSD; how did we do that?

CommentsHey y'all. I am looking for (formerly) SSG William S. Palmer and/or his wife Kitty who was there in Neu-Ulm around the 84-85 time frame. I think he was on Nelson Kaserne. Thanks.
CommentsStill looking for then SSG Barry Williams. He worked in the Bn HQ's 1/81 as the Bn Re-enlistment/Retention NCO. He and his wife were the stand-in Godparents at my daughter's baptism in the Wiley Chapel. I was then SGT Richard (Gil) Gilliland, C/1/81, April 1971-August 1972. My wife was (and still is my wife) Dora. When we got to Wiley, my wife was about two weeks due with our second child and second daughter, Laura. It's a long story why my wife traveled to Germany being two weeks due. Barry and his wife and their one daughter (at the time) lived in the opposite stairwell from us. We both lived on the first floor. If anyone out there that reads this message knows where and how Barry can be contacted, let me know. The last that I know, was that he was in Lawton, Oklahoma for a while. He may still be there. Thanks in advance for any help. I can be contacted at: milantnson@msn.com Pershing Sir!! QRA!!
CommentsI was stationed at Wiley in B 1/81- 1/9 from 84 to 88. The cold war had turned very hot and with our Pershing unit's getting the new P2's in, it got just that much hotter in the Neu-Ulm area. I salute all of you, regardless of which unit you served in, and say to you all, Hello and Hi! and that it was a priviledge to serve with you, and when I see ya again, I hope to see ya along the Donnau with a cup of bitter in hand!

CommentsAt Wiley Barracks,1971-1972, some of the gate guards for the back gate near the housing area were from service battery 1/81fa. I've been trying to recall the name of one guard that I became friends with. His girlfriend's mother worked at the PX checking ID cards. He was slim build with redish-brown hair. And usually always worked at night, although I don't think there was bearing on his work schedule. I usually saw him at night even though he probably was scheduled for other hours as well. If anyone from that time can recall the guard's name, I would appreciate your help. contact me at jwdawes@affinity4.net .
CommentsI was stationed in Neu Ulm as a member of the Headquarters Detachment Ulm- Sub Post from February 62 to July 64. I worked as a supply specialist for the elementary and junior high schools in Neu Ulm. I was housed in Nelson Barracks. I also did a brief stint as a housing inspector for dependent housing (checking people in and out). At times, on weekends, I drove a bus for Special Services on various outings. This is a great web site. It brings back many memories of my tour of duty in Germany. Names of associates and friends come to mind such as Bennett, Hein, McCallum,Gonella, Couser, Brown, Zink, Martindale, Webb and many others. My name is Per Hjulstad and I am at per@glacierpeaks.net Send me an e-mail if your remember me or served in my unit during the time mentioned. 170/588
CommentsGreat memories. I was in Neu Ulm from 72-76 with the Regional Personnel Center. On Wiley for a while then our offices moved over to Nelson. We had the privilege of servicing all the Army units there at the time (1/81 FA; 2/33 FA; 2/4 Inf; 579th Ord, etc.). I received a Pershing Professional Badge from the PSNCO of the 1/81 in 1973 but I can’t remember his name. I was an “orders clerk” for a long time and probably typed most of your PCS or ETS orders to get you back to the “world”. Names for the RPAC I remember are: 1SG Schlaf; SFC Voss; SSG Troxell; SGM King; Jim Halfpenny; Jim Dougan, Dale Monroe, Steve McDowell, Jim 4B Philips, Steve Fornal, Mouse, Pickles, John Nyberg, SSG Winston Baker, CW4 Wayne Young, MSG Bill Pitman, SSG Z, Larry Johnson, Gil Johnson, Jim Weslowski, “Douch” Draper (1/81). If you remember Reed Elliott, email me at reedandchris@zianet.com.
CommentsHello Reed, can't say that as I remember you, but you mentioned several names that I had not heard for many years but are still familiar to me. The Trowell's lived in the same quarters stairwell that my wife and I lived in. SSG Troxell and his wife, Irina, were here in El Paso, Texas, back in the early part of the 80's. Ran into them a couple of times but never got together with them. Dale Monroe (if he is the one that I knew) was in C/1/81 the same time that I was there (April 71-August 72). I was a SGT E-5 ACS in the C/1/81 1st Platoon. He was a SGT E-5 in 1st Platoon, the same platoon that I was in. I can't recall if he was an ACS, though. I heard just a few years ago, that he supposedly moved to El Paso. I have looked for him locally, but have not been able to locate him. Perhaps you may remember a SSG Barry Williams? He was the 1/81 Re-enlistment/Retention NCO for the BN. He was driving a big (tan colored?) 4-door Mercedes at the time. Myself and another guy are looking for Barry. Barry and his wife were the stand-in Godparents for our second child who was born in Augsburg Army General Hospital in May 1971. If you have any information on where and how we can contact Barry, would you share it with me? Thanks and good luck, Richard Gilliland. I can be contacted at ..milantnson@msn.com.

CommentsI served in New Ulm, Wiley Barracks, from 1959 to 1961. My first assignment was as a platoon leader in D Company, 2/41st Infantry and then later I transfered to be the Assistant S3, in Headquarters Company, 2/41st Infantry. LTC Hardy was the Battalion Commander, Major Hollingshead (Executive Officer) and Major Nash was the S3. Some great guys were in that unit who were later killed in Vietnam - LT Robin Mangum, LT Art Davies, and LT Larry Hackley. I remember the battalion and it soldiers with great respect.
CommentsI served at Wiley Barracks as a Pershing Missile Crewmember in Neu Ulm with D 1/81 FA or D 1/9 FA from 75-77, 78-81 and 90. I served in C 1/81 or C 1/9 FA from 83-88. I was reclassified as a 96B Military Intelligence Analyst after Pershing was deactivated. I retired as a Command Sergeant Major in 2004. I have many fond memories of my time in Neu Ulm. After getting over the culture shock during my first tour, things starting falling in place. We worked hard and partied hard. Pershing was a very demanding job but it carried with it the satisfaction that we were making a real difference. If anyone out there remembers me, you may reach me at simmonscal@aol.com or calvin.simmons@us.army.mil.
CommentsWe found out, but we're not sure that he (C. or Lee Bailey) lived(maybe was born)in Sacramento California! In 1953 he was between 40 and 50 years old! The race is white! He had (probably) 3 or more children (probably twins) with his married wife! My grandmother's name is Anna Siersch she was not married with him, but she get a baby (my father)! The problem is that she never spoke about my grandfather and now she's bedriddenly and unable to speak! What we additionally know is that he was in the U.S. Army as Staff(Stuff) Sergeant. We think that he was deployed in one or more of the following countries Germany/Korea/China/Malaysia/Singapore. In 1953 he must been in South Germany near Stuttgart or Ulm that's where my grandmother was working! We also know that there must be a (Army)newspaper advertisement where he get honored! In this advertisement must be a picture of him! That's is all we know at the moment.Regards Markus mailto: webmaster@siersch.org

CommentsAn original FIST'er from 4/5 who wasn't ready to go play dog and pony shows in Riley. So the show came to Ulm in 1987 and I became Sgt Jim Clark (but not for long) of HHB 2/5. Great to see all the comments from all the different years. Also kuddoes for whomever did the fabulous work on this site. Hi Brett, did you ever make it as a professional guitarist? You were an okay driver but I've told everyone for the last twenty years, "Ya know, I had a roomate named Funk who was the best guitarist I ever heard without going to a concert." Hope you at least gave your dream a shot. This site makes for a wonderful trip down memory lane. Also reminds me that "youth is wasted on the young." Anyone one wants to, give me a shout at J55Clark@aol.com I'm particularly interested in the whereabouts of SSG Donnie Wison, SGT Bohling, or SP/4 Brownwell. Hey Mattheis, we finally won one.

CommentsRic Allen - My wife and I also lived in Thalfingen. We moved into our apartment sometime in March. Was it by any chance the one the Heidi Thumm managed? I believe the address was 37 Anglerstrasse. That would be quite a coincidence however when we first arrived in Germany we lived in Steinheim and as we were moving out my old girlfriend and her husband were moving in....small world. Russ Bushaw

CommentsCan anyone identify this person? http://wiley2-5fa.com/new_page_30.htm On this page of photos from Wiley Kaserne, 3rd row down, first thumbnail, bottom photo. The photo shows the BCC Golden Boys of Charlie 1/81fa before leaving for Inneringen. The guy with his hand on the spare tire is the only person in the group I can't name. I am the skinny fellow squating on the far right. The picture was taken sometime in '71-'72, we all worked in the training office at garrison. The other guys brought me the cover plate on the spare tire, and asked me to paint "BCC GOLDEN BOYS" on it. We kept it secret until the day we left for Inneringen. The photo was taken a few moments after we brought out the cover, and installed it on the vehicle. Being an elite group of people, there was a lot of jealousy in the rest of the battery against us, so we didn't want the cover plate stolen overnight. Would really like to remember the identity of the one fellow in the picture. Jerry Dawes at jwdawes@afffinty4.net

CommentsMy Wife Yvonne has been adopted as a Newborn. She was born "american" on the 11th November 1971. The Name of her mother was/is Martha R. (Rae) Cunningham a US-American, born herself on the 13th Nov 1953 - she became 18 two days after given Birth to my Wife - today she might be 52. Martha R. Cunningham lived at "Kaserne 703" in Schwäbisch-Gmünd near Göppingen - thats probably the Hardt- or Bismarck-Baracks. Both of the Baracks are closed today, in the early 70s the 56th Field Artillery was located there. In the records of the adoption no father was mentioned - she was not married. We found out, that she went back to the States. We don't know where they went but originally she's from Wisconsin. The question is, if a 17 year old girl was member of the army or lived here in germany with her parents. In the meantime Martha R. Cunningham might be married and has a different last name.

CommentsHas anyone noticed that Inneringen is no longer the tiny little village we knew during our CAS days? This little village is now a huge prostitution business location, as well as a large factory for German automotive parts like mufflers. Could also be the home of a lot of other businesses, and manufacturing. Search "Inneringen,Germany" on the internet, and check out the old field location !

CommentsI was stationed at wiley barracks during 1966-67, I was with the 1st signal battalion that was moved there from ludwigsburg, Flak Kaserne. I had some good times there also. I don't see much on it if anything on the signal corps that was there. It was on the first alert I experienced a armor/artillery post,well remembered for the roar of heavy equipment on the move. It really rattled all the windows, it was very different for me. I don't remember many names. Our first shirt was called "Bulldog Mullins" He was a fair guy. He used to come and get me off of guard duty, march me back to the company area (so that I could fast pitch for the company team) then march me back after the game was over and I would continue my guard duty. I wonder what happened to all the guys? It would be nice to hear from any of them. don bernard

CommentsMy name is Bob Wood and I was with K Co. 13th Infantry, 8th Inf. Div. I was stationed at Wiley from Aug. '56 to Dec. '57. Shortly after I ZI'd the 13th was sent to Mannheim and the 4th AD took over. My first memory of Wiley was getting off the trucks that picked us up at the banhof (with the rest of the 3rd Bn.) falling into formation, watching the trucks drive to the other side of the quad and picking up the remnants of the 47th Inf. Regt and taking them out the way we came in. By the gate, next to the mess hall was a statue of a nude man holding a rearing horse (left over from when it was Ludendorf Caserne and had horse drawn artillery there.). Some WWll GI had shot the "guy" square in the ass. There were still metal rings attached to the limestone walls of the motor pool to tether the horses to. I remember the white patches on the walls of the barracks across the quad. Another WWll memento---the building had been strafed. If it wasn't raining it snowed and we went out in the field regardless of the weather. For some reason "Area 7" sticks in my mind as a favorite training spot. I think we had two weeks of summer. My squads "alert" post was down the road from the caserne where the RR tracks crossed over on the way into Ulm. Was "50 pfennig Annie" still working the park, by the river when you were there? The best schnitzle sandwiches were to be had directly across from our gate. They did a landslide business from all the drunks coming back from pass. We had a midnite curfew -- thanx to the idiots from the 11th Airborne -- especially the guy thet threw a grenade into gasthouse he was pissed at. The post theater was right off the back entrance of my barracks, and the EM club was about 1/2 mile down the road in the "new" area that housed the Artillery outfits. You could get anything you wanted to eat at the EM Club as long as it was a schnitzle, steak or chicken and they had the best "green" beer in the world. One night I tried to drink $5.00 worth of martinis at $.35 apop. I don't remember getting back to the barracks. I am a proud survivor of the battle of the Muenster Bar (Komerade played country & western exclusively there) I remember the Atelier Bar and the Goldens Rad restaurant by the Muenster platz. One time a buddy (Bill McQuade of Cicero, Ill.) and I got looped at a gasthaus by the Zoo, rented along skinny row boat and tried to row it to the Iller. We promptly sunk, swam to the shore and repaired to the nearest bar to conduct an inquest. One could tell which girls we'd danced with---the fronts of their dresses were all wet! I am sorry to see that no one from the 13th has found your website. Like many others I stumbled onto it also. The pictures brought back memories....... If anyone from the 13th reads this they can contact me at bob-dianawood@sbcglobal.net thanx
CommentsI was a Data Tech from 6-81 till about 4-85. I was with the 1/81 for about 3 years at the site south of Ulm and about a year at the site north of Heidelberg. Best job I ever had; one week on, one week off plus 2 weeks vacation per year meant I could roam Europe for 28 weeks of the year. The dollar was strong during that time, got up to about 3.15 Mark per dollar for a while so I was living large during that time. Any Data Techs still out there, like Tom Powell, Patrick Luensman, Steve Burns, Larry Zilke or Bruce Umphrey? I am Larry Dempsey
Commentshello, i was searching for some photos of Wiley and Nelson Barracks in Neu - Ulm, If someone want to see new Pictures of the "Barracks" today i will take someone for You. Please mail me. Atego12232000@yahoo.de bye Tobias 117/702
CommentsGreat site! Thank you very much for providing it. I was stationed in Wiley from 1960 to 1962. 41st Armored Infantry, 2nd ARB, Headquarters Company. I was in the communications section and worked message center for most of the time I was there. I reported to Sgt. Shockley who was a great guy. I still remember the monthly "alerts" we had which always seemed to happen in the middle of very cold nights. Boy, that was a long time ago. If you were then at that time give me a shout at RDerois@aol.com
CommentsI was stationed at Nelson barracks from 1966-1967. Much of our activities were continued at Wiley Barracks. I was in 'C' Co. Ist. Signal Bn. I remember men being deployed each day for Viet Nam. Anyone who was there would like a contact, pls. let me know. This is a neat website! Neu-Ulm was a great city.
CommentsHello all, I too loved my time in Neu Ulm,(61-63 Co A 126th ord.) transferred to C co.126th, Mckee bks.Crailsheim)Married my wonderful wife Katrina (Kirchberg/Jagst)of 44 years now. My only bad experience was to have been robbed of a 1000 DM by a "friend" to whom I foolishly gave my footlocker lock combination when he needed a pair of clean socks.(This could be a book on its own). Ended up in the University of Wuerzburg and finally in the USA as a historian. Had a great time!!

CommentsWas at Neu Ulm twice. First time was stationed in HQ 1/81st Aty. That was Dec 1968-July 1979. Came back in March 1970-July 1972 with 579th Ord. Both times I worked on the TRC/80 Vans in the maintenance shop.
CommentsThe person who posted the above message on Oct.3, please contact me at jwdawes@affinity4.net I was at C1/81FA during the same time 70-72, would like to visit with you. thanks!
CommentsI am typing this right now from Babenhausen Kaserne. I still live here for the time being (2 more days) and then I will move to Darmstadt. My old unit, 77th MT CO, deactivated in aug and we were the last unit here. Babenhausen Kaserne is slated to be turned over the the German Government early next year. There is a ton of history here and I am sorry that I was not able to see most of it, Darmstadt is full of it too so i will see if i can dig it up there. my DEROS - Apil 2010. Shane Williams, SGT(P), 94F Special Devices Equipment Repairer. 2 years in babenhausen but one of that was in Iraq. shane.williams1 AT us.army.mil
CommentsWOW !!! Trippin' back down memory lane. Was in Wiley 1982 for a year, 15E... You would know basically who I am if you were there early '83. Looks like, so far, no-one from that time in here yet. A lot seem to be from whatever changeout happened late '83. I left (unexpectedly early '83). Sad to see that all is gone... cant remember which CAS site, remember answering the klaxton (03dark in the snow half dressed) and got my H.S. diploma while there. Big Bend U. (still have the original blue book today). Still have a painting of the Munster on my wall and a flight pin w/red flag (pull before flight) from back them. REally enjoyed the stories of stumbling back just in time for pt and breakfast/lunch of champions.... seems all we did was army time and drink time, no time for sleep! what a blast. My buddy got a benz for 10.00 from a guy going to the phillipines or guam and man that car was sweet. He had a german girlfriend, Uchi, and we went all over including the Ocktoberfest in Munchen... man oh man. Still remember Monica and lisa and gabi... spent a lot of time in the Red Ox drinkin those warm heffe viezen! man-o-man small world, my boss of 6 years was in town drinking the same time, married an Ulmer girl and now I work for him! thank you all for the memories. My first credit purchase was in AFFEES in Sill and I took shitloads of pics (even ones that got me in trouble!!!). Have to pull them out one day. Though things happened, I could NEVER forget my time there... never. thank you!!
CommentsThe person who left the last comment about the $10 Benz, what is your name?
Commentstom
CommentsThanks Tom. Just wondering if we ever met. I was there during that time as well, as a civilian. I spent many hours at the Red Ox and I also knew Monica, Lisa and Gabi from Capos and Uncle Sams.
CommentsOne more note, the memories are flooding in now in the last couple of days because of this site. Most very good ones. Some bad ones. Regrets too. The military "bearing" is still in me, short hair and folding my socks even (bugs the hell out of my wife because I want those towels folded JUST that way!). And the great times at AIT (another MOS) in Fort Jackson and the many great people I remember from back then. Thank you again. tom

CommentsJerry Dawes--looked thru your photos of Inneringen and recognized the Turkish KP with the heavy mustache. He and a Greek started there in late April 1971 as the first civilian KP's they had. I had gotten into the unit in March 71 and they assigned us new guys to KP. When they hired the civilians they kept 2 GI's on as DRO's and the rest of us got reassigned. We were pulling a double shift on status for somebody. They bunked us in the C Battery barracks our first night @ Wiley--11 March '71--so I guess it would have been C battery out at Inneringen. The end of the next week--about 18 March--we moved out to Inneringen and stayed until some time in May. Nobody in the unit spoke Greek or Turkish so it was a fun time for the mess sgts to get the civilians to do what they wanted. The Greek was an older, heavy set guy with a name about 15 letters long that started with Zou....I told the mess sgt to just call him Zoomy, but don't know if he did. Both were nice guys, but we were not allowed to fraternize with them if I remember right. The Greek guy had a motor scooter or bike and ran into a barbed wire fence that had been put up in front of the mess hall--supposed to be decorative, but didn't have anything but barbed wire, so that's what they used. (it sure kept guys from cutting across the grass!) He got cut up pretty bad. Not long after that we returned to Ulm. Can't really remember seeing either one of them on later trips in September 71 and January 72, but they were probably still around as I don't remember any of our guys pulling KP. Gene
CommentsJust adding my name again....Jeff Reigstad 1/41/fa Dbtry Bismark kasern or however it is spelled. 1974-1976 jreigstad1@charter.net
CommentsThanks, Gene. I appreciate hearing from you again. The Turkish KP, and the Greek guy were very hard to communicate with. They wanted me to take their pictures, and that's why they were posing. I'd been taking other photos as the mess hall was just renovated. SFC Green was in charge of the mess hall at that time. In fact, I think he was the NCOIC of personnel there. SFC Green is the black NCO in one of the photos at the mess hall. -Jerry Dawes, C 1/81FA 71-72
Commentswow,,,thats alot of memories,,,i was with Delta Co 55th maint support Bn,56 FA Bde from 1983-1987 nelson barracks,I worked in the maint section,if anyone wants to chat i would like to see pics of then and now if you have any. drpoppell@aol.com
CommentsEd Carter here. I had the misfortune of being an 11B assigned to D 1/81 from 82-84. Went back in 98 and was bummed to find the Sportesonn does serve food anymore. I was looking forward to the cordon bleu. However, the waitress who was there in 82-84 was still there in 1998. She looked about the same. Looking for Brian Burnett, Frank Miller, John Locke, Sean Joyce, Brian Caldwell and others. silasstjohn@yahoo.com.
CommentsI was looking for information on the 1983 Anti Nuclear Demponstration involving a human chain across West Germany and came across this site. Twenty two years later and I still miss it!! I was stationed at Wiley from 81-84 first as the Platoon Leader of the 194th MP Co. 3rd Platoon and then as the Provost Marshal. I wish I had never left. Some of my best memories are from that time. John Hirsch
CommentsChuck Charnquist here. Med Co, 13th Regt, 8th Inf Div, Sep 1956 to July 1957. Now in Beaverton, OR. It seems not long ago the 50th anniversary of the end of WWII in Europe was celebrated. Well, the troops who were with the 13th Regt., 8th Inf. Div., (those of us who are left) can now celebrate the 50th anniversary of our arrival at Wiley Barracks (Labor Day, 1956) to take over for homeward bound 47th Regt. This great site helps revive the good memories of our time in Neu Ulm. Was a great period in history to be there. Lots of good memories of buddies and German friends. Med Co commrades like Hubbie Agata (Brooklyn), Bobby Wong (SF), Barry McPhillips (Watertown, NY), Hoyt Hanby (North Carolina), Bert Calvert (Chico, CA), Sherm Bailey (Seattle), Tom Welch (Portland, OR), John McIlvane (NYC), Emmons Lindmeier (Davis, CA). How about 1st Sarge Bobby Wilkerson, or maybe the best medic in the US Army, Sgt. Ted Runner. Or, our company CO Capt. Criswell. Fond memories include spending Christmas 1956 with a German family, Herman Bruckner, wife and son Manfred in a Marshall Plan apartment complex north of the Muenster. Wonderful people. Sadly, duty at Wiley, one of the best of the US sites in Germany at the time, lasted only 11 months. 8th Div. was reorganized into battle groups in the summer of 1957 and Med Co personnel were scattered. Spent the remainder of my time in Hqs, 2nd Armored, in Bad Kreuznach. Especially impressed with the old pics of Ulm (prewar). Have lots of good ones from '56 and '57 but the ones on this site add much to appreciation of Ulm. Again, thanks for this great site.
CommentsHi, Iam looking for an old friend, Kenneth J.Woolard. goes by Pete. was a medic in the Army. would be in his 50's, had a sister Lisa. We went to SIU-E late 70s', early 80's. Any info pls contact me at -- nancy22fancy@yahoolcom

CommentsBeen visiting on the phone with David Collins, better known to many Pershing folks at 1/81fa as "Flint". He was the artist who painted the many murals all over the battalion area at Wiley Kaserne, as well as the Post Chapel at Wiley. He did not know that Wiley had been turned over to the Germans, and that most of the buildings were no longer in existance that we knew. He wanted to know if Wiley Chapel was still there. I told him it was, and he asked if the murals in the chapel are still there, or if they'd been painted over. So, I'm asking for any readers of this guestbook who can answer the questions to please contact me at jwdawes@affinity4.net as soon as possible. I know some of you have been back to visit the area, and I'm wondering if any of you visited the chapel, and may have noticed, particularly in the rooms downstairs where the offices used to be. My name is Jerry Dawes C 1/81fa 1971-1972.

CommentsHi all especially Lee Allen. By a fluke I googled my own name and ended up on this site because he mentioned my name. I was stationed at Wiley Barracks in Neu Ulm in HHB 2/5 FA as the Unit Supply Specialist. I married a German girl and now have a house close to the lake near Wiley Barracks. Capos closed soon after Wiley was turned over to the Germans. They promptly tore down the new bowling alley but expanded the theater quite a bit. Our old Barracks was turned into a senior citizens home. All of Pershing was torn down and is now a big building project with hundreds of new homes. I hope that Lee still uses the E-Mail he listed. I was also hoping to contact Rafael A. Braithwaite and SSG Richardson as well as the buddies that Lee has listed. George (Vinny) VanSteinburg vinman998@web.de
CommentsTo all of those wanting information about Wiley Barracks. The Chapel is still there, the Wiley Club is also (and it is still called the Wiley Club). The old fire station and drug and alcohol reheb. building is still there. Only one bld. from the 2/5 motorpool and messhall are still there. One or two of the barracks along the fence are still there, other than that the rest has been torn down. Oh, and of coarse the old Rod and Gun club is still there. They are building housing units on the old post. You wouldn't believe it if you saw it. It would almost break your heart!!! |
