Was at JB 77-78 I think it was C company our building faced Headquarters to the left was the PX and Club.

Went on REFORGER 78 plus a lot of Graf ect. Black motorpool PLt Sarge I think we called him Budda. I sold my VW Bug to a e-5 dork after me and 7 other guys went to a Nazarath concert. On the way back I blew the engine. Just after I sold it the guys threw it half way into a dumpster. Just remember one guy Goodbird or something like that. A few miles out was our local downrange we would go on alert and bug out there. Thank God we never had the ballon go up. Lots of stuff to remember.

I was stationed at Johnson Barracks,Assigned to Headquarters Company,24th Engineer Battalion, from 1966 thru 1969. I was a Specialist#5 E-5. Initially, I was Battalion Mail Clerk, and later in the Adjutants Office as Courts & Boards Clerk, doing court martials. In personal time I was a guitarist and played with various groups in Germany.

was a journeyman 12B at JB from 1985 - 1987, most of it in CC Rock 1st platoon then in MCM.

Good to see CC Rock well represented on this board, especially Sgt. Shick (I'm still sorry to this day the cadre made you carry that heavy rock for my goof-up at PCT in 1986). I remember Willey, Maestas, Grobusch, and was hoping to find Romer and the others.

Gotta say 1986 was an incredible year for me in 1st platoon - we did PCT then got that luxury guard duty in Garmisch. Hope to hear from the rest of you.

Served in Delta Co, 16th Engineers 1988 - 1989, lived there in Johnson Barracks. Sad to see it is all gone, I made many fond memories.

Shout out to David Anderson, I miss ya bud.

I was stationed at Johnson Barracks from 1976 to 1978 with E Co. 16th Engr Bn. MOS 12B/12C/76Y(this only after I mentioned I could type and got volunteered into supply).
I loved the assignment and the whole Furth/ Nurnberg area. Got out Aug 78 as Sgt.

I just came across this site and had not known that Johnson barracks had been torn down. I had always hoped to take my daughter over to show her it. I served in Company C from January 1975 to July 1977 in 3rd squad 1st platoon.

I recieved an email from a guy in Germany that is looking for a soldier who's last name is COX that was in the 16th Engr Bn in 79. This German was a 12 yrs old kid when he met COX who was on Reforger 79. He would like to reconnect with COX. I don't remember this person being in HHC.

I was in Company A & D of the 24th Engineers from 1960 to 1963. I was in Sargent Slaughters squad. I would like to hear from anyone at Johnson Barracks from 1960 to 1963.

I was in D- company in 1986-1987.

I was surprised to read about the barracks being converted to car lots and other businesses. As I recall, by the mid-90's parts of it had been converted to civilian housing.

Hello everyone! I'm Dirk Sullivan or you might remember me as SGT Sullivan I was at Johnson Barracks from 80-82 E Company AVLB crew. We had some good times together. I have many great memories while at Johnson and it was most definitely some of the best times of my life. I had to pull out the old pics to remember some of the names. I will try to post some of these pics on the site. Some of the AVLB gang you might remember? SFC Moske, SGT Felts, SSG Herman, SGT Gomez, SGT Dugger, PVT Rysavy, PFC Eddy, PVT Rivera? Others I can't remember since my memory is fading, sorry. Studies show that good German beer does help reduce memory loss. Drink more beer!!! I say " PROST" to my old buddies from Johnson!!! You guys ROCK!

I was stationed at Johnson Barracks between 7/8/1971 - 11/6/1972 I don't remember much about that time but the one picture I see posted J.B._SUMMER_3_WEEKS_.jpg just under the clock (if it's the same one) I made that sign and put it up just before I left. I have a few pictures of the barracks I'll try to scan and put up. I also have some when I went to a barracks, don't know the name, in Ansbach for awhile to repair the parking lot and other things. I also have some pictures of people that I don't even remember their names so I won't put them up unless someone asks.

HHC HEAVY JUNK 12/74-03/77 GOOD TIMES THAT I CAN REMEMBER GRAF HOENFELDS AND REFORGER CATAMOUNT

Hello to everyone that was stationed at Johnson Barracks-C Co. 16th Engineers Btn. in Fürth from 1983-1987; I left in July '87 for the States and decided to give it up in May '88 after achieveing my personal goal. I then returned to Nbg.-Fürth area where I still live yet today and doing just great. Like mentioned in the forum from the Barracks is absolutely nothing left over, all built up new. My favorites were Sgt. Jackson, Sgt. Smith and Sgt. Culley (Porsche?)

Hey everyone, I haven't been here in over a year and a half and it is good to see that more people have found this site. Been a long hard year and a half for me but I'll check back more pftem. I was at JB 85-86. C Co. Drop me a line if you recognise me or my name. Peace.

I spent 4 and half wonderful years at Johnson Barracks, 43rd MP Det, at the Stockade in back of the 16th between June 74 and December 78.(was a member of the 7th Corp Softball Championship team 1975) I go back every year to visit my Mother-In-Law and am amazed at how much has changed. The Germans made a beautiful park out of the training area in the Johnson Barracks area. If you were there during that time please contact me.

I was at johnson barracks from sept 66 to dec 68 ssg mackay was my squad leader and ssg dunston was my plt sgt. any one remember me?

I was in C Company Motor pool 1971-1973 and remember preparing for those AMF exercises in Greece and Norway. Can't forget the great beer. Good to read some of us are remembering our time at Johnson barracks and I guess I got a little sad to see it taken down. Capt. Maas and Sgt. Pierpoint are familiar. Ralph Ryan and Pooch.

C- Company 1987 - 1990

I paited all the stuff at the front gate and the C company rock.

I remember Donny Moore , Trotman, Ronan Lemon, My favorite Sgt. Williams, Chapman,

I still live here and am as happy as hell.

My dad was at Johnson Barracks from 1972-1975. He as at Headquarters company. He was MSG Ezra Woodard. He retired after he left Germany. He has passed away but I would love to hear from some of the guys that worked with him. Especially Pvt Little, Sgt. Coe and his CO, can't remember his name. That was a wonderful time in my life.

I was in the 16th Engineers from the 84-85. I was a 12F but I can't remember what company I was in. My 1st sgt was 1st sgt Gillery(I hope this is the correct spelling). I used to play golf at a post not far from JB. Some of the people I remember are: Bill Starcher, Sgt Neadeux, and Pvt Guerro to name just a few. I remember a very funny Samoan that used to say, "do you wanna beef bro" can anyone remember his name?

1984-87- Assined to E Co (Cpt Taylor)from January - October. ( I have the company picture from E Co from around August 1984 if ANYONE interested). Was the Only unit supply to pass battalion inspection & was offered job to run the 1st AD CIF at Montieth Bks. Stayed there until it was completely turned over to civilian's.
Then went to HHC and worked at the S-4, ran it for a few month's while SFC Roberts was in school. Remeber Cpt Hamilton, Joe McGrady,Santiago,
Then went to C Co as Supply Sgt. Cpt Watson & Red headed,freckle faced 1SG, Lt Anderson etc. Those were the good ole day's, but was glad to get out of there after Robert's ripped off the DRMO/PDO of the Jeep.
I remeber going out to the german training area and four wheeling all the time. What was the name of that Gasthaus across from JB?

I was stationed at Johnson Barracks in Company B in 1959-1960. We all had a great time there. It is almost 50 years ago. It doesn’t seem possible. At that time it was the 24th Engineer Battalion. I was with Company B. Our platoon Sergeant was Sgt. Washington We were using M-1 Rifles at that time. Check out my picture of the M-1 Rife Inspection on our bunks. The commander of the battalion at that time was Lt. Col. Pearse. We nick named him (Axe Handle) because carried an axe handle instead of a swagger stick. We set a record at that time for building and crossing the Danube with a pontoon bridge (1 hr and 29 minutes) I wonder if that record is still standing. It doesn’t seem possible that Johnson Barracks is no long there. I don’t remember any canals on Schwabacker Strasse.
Does anyone remember the beer garden bar in back of Johnson Barracks on the way to the main PX. We called it the garden. Does anyone know when they built canals on Schwabacker. I don’t remember and canals maybe my memory is failing. This is a great site. It brings back a lot of memories.

Tripped upon this site & thought I'd give a shout out to anyone who served W/:
1st Armour Div, 16th Engineer,
Echo Company "river rats" 90' to 92'. 1st duty station, did the Gulf w/ alot of great guys to whom I've lost touch with. Shoot me an email anytime.
This site has brought back alot of great memories Props

Thought it might be interesting to relate how I found this site. Last year Dec'08-Jan'09 my wife & I were backpacking in N.Vietnam on the Chinese border. Riding on a local bus loaded with about 100 Vietnamese was 1 other foreigner, he was my age, German & born & raised in Zirndorf right beside Pinder Bks. I told him I was at JB 1976-79 & he knew it well. He used to go to Open House during Ger-American Days back then. He took a room in the same hotel & for the next 2 days he & I talked about Furth, Nbg & JB & he told stories how JB was gone, Pinder too although they left the orig. gate standing, the Darby Housing Area was now apts & other stuff. Patrizier Beer was bought-out by Tucher although Das Gute Zirndorfer is still going. He said his favorite fussball club today was near the old PX site & we discussed where it was but the only one I could recall was in the Housing Area which you'd pass when taking the back way shortcut to the Main PX from JB. I remember stopping in there once to collect the deckel. Before we parted he dug in his pack & gave me a souvenir matchbox that read PX Sport Club Furth. When I got down to Hanoi I went to the Search Engine, typed in Johnson Bks & found this site. Small world, huh?

1976-1978 co c patterson was my squad leader tollinger was platoon leader they ripped off my stereo and tossed me in jail. I was 18 now 52. I beat up a rat/traitor back then but I still got to go to the persian gulf and earn the expeditionary medal in the navy.Thank you
tollinger for giving me pride because they didnt have it in that battalion
alcoholics from a loser army of the past.
keep looking over your shoulders I just
might find you know who & pay you back.

My father was in the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, who had the motto "Brave Rifles". He may have been at Johnson Barracks in 1957-early 1958. His name is William and he went by Bill or Billy. He was dating my mom at the time. She is a native of Nuremberg who was working in Dambach. Her name is Hannelore, Honey, and had long red hair. If anyone remembers them, I would appreciate hearing from you.

HHC POL Supported C co with truck 424 if memory serves, was at JB Late 1980 - 82. Sgt. Simms was my first roomie, remember good times with Big Dave, Zebley, Yang, Lackowitz...still trying to remember them all. I also had an apartment above the nude sauna in Seukendorf for a short time. Thought my wife at the time was coming to Germany, thought wrong. LOL Got the Tucher runs a few times from too many trips accross the street. Anyone got a knot? I got a soda can with some holes in it. Sure do wish I could get some Salvator or some Untern Biebert. Sunk my truck to the axels once dropping fuel to water point.

I was stationed with the 16th from 1988-1991. A co, 3rd Platoon.

My first duty assignment was as a 12F, with C Co 16th Engr Bn at Johnson Barracks from Jan 1981 to Feb 1984.

Good old times running through the canal, going down town to eat and drink, and stopping by the PX at WO darby (Kaserne) I think this is how it is spelled. Oh, before I forget I want to say hi! to my friends from "El conjunto Boricua" we used to play Puerto Rican music at the Enlisted club at Johnson barracks. My nickname at that time was "Coamito". Any way, take care buddies and God bless you all!

Randy Norris is the only one that I have been in touch with, and I heard once from Don Bebo, Rick Wright and a couple of others from the company for that time frame. Hope to hear from some of you. Cheers!

Hello to all,

I frequently reminisce of the years spent at Johnson Barracks. I was assigned to Charlie Company from 1987-1989.
There are many guys I'd like to get in touch with from those days and I was very excited to see Louis aka "G-Man" message posted here.

My hopes are that everyone and their families are well and that every man who served in the 16th has had a happy, successful life.

Regards,
Charles

I was at Johnson Barracks from July 1960 to January 1963. I was in C Company and drove a APC C11. I would be interested in hearing from any others that were there during that time. I am also interested in finding a 24 Eng. Crest if anyone knows how I can locate one. I have posted some photos I came across if anyone is interested, one being a Company C group photo from 1962.

I was station at Johnson barracks and W.O. Darby from August 1960 to April 1963. I was in H&H co. S/4.

Any of you guys who were in A-co in 82 remember Larry Tieman jumping out of the 2nd story and shattering his ankle cause 1st Sgt Hargroves was going to make him go to the field for missing an alert. Tieman was to ETS in 10 days. When he busted his ankle the army made him stay in until he rehabed LOL

I was stationed at W.O. Darby Kaserne and Johnson Barracks from 1991 until 1993. I as well remember the Paisley Pub and the Yellow Rose. Those were the days. I came across the pictures of what is happening now to Johnson Barracks and I must say, it looked like a ghosttown. Whoever was in the army and at both kasernes during those times, I would love to hear from ya'll. I was with 240th QMS and I was in POL. My nickname was "GG", I rode my bycycle alot, and dated the Turk named Mat who was a bus driver for Koch tour bus agency and if I wasn't at the Paisley Pub, I was at the Yellow Rose bartending and sometimes cooking. Ring any bells? I would also like to know what happened to Erik Peterson who was also in POL and at both kasernes.

I had all but forgotten, or maybe just remembered my years in Furth. To know the site is gone makes me sad.

I was there from 1978-1980 16th HQ Co, Btn Commo

For all who used to go to the EM/NCO/OFFICERS Clubs:

My two bands ("Six Pack" and "Gordy Thomas and CREW") used to play all around Southern Bavaria.

I've written a lot of songs since then, and anyone is welcome to download the free .mp3 files listed on my site at gordythomas.com please disregard the fact that there are also song files for sale on the page, as it is not my intent to get you to buy anything. I just thought some of the FOB (Friends of The Bands) might be interested in hearing what I've been doing in Nashville.

And to all combat veterans, "Welcome Home!"

I was stationed in Johnson Barracks from Dec.1988-Jul.1991? I was with Bravo Co. Looking for friends from back then. Please e-mail me. ual92@yahoo.com

Mark Ballance,

I could be wrong, but did you not get out of the Army in '78 or '79 and then go back in about a year later ending up at the construction engineer outfit on main post Ft Lewis? If so I remember riding across post with (I think Joe Lazott) to say hey. I was in HQ Plt I believe. SFC Tollinger was my platoon sergeant (he's running aroung fayetteville somewhere) and then SFC Froehle. I used to hang with Diego Estrada sometimes, then Dalton and a few others. But I'm sure I remember you.

Did two tours at J.B. 77-79 and 82-85, the first tour was the best (was single).
Was in C company the first time and A company the last. There were good and bad times, but it was all a learning experience. I see the old pics and am glad I did the time, even with the motor pool guard duty, graf, hoenfels, wildflicken, alerts.... Went on a cool trip to Bertchesgaden in '78 with some with a few of the guys in Aco.

Take Care

i was at jb 77 to 80 in echo company. its like home to me.a lot of good friends.

Hey Bebo, I just found this site & have been reliving old days at JB. What a trip to see photos of old friends. I'm Lester the Fester, was in HHC from '77-'79, S4 driver, 1st the jeep, then Dufield's TMP after he ETS'd, & later on the M577A1. Recall good times with you. Once we were at the German-US beer fest, you were picking on an MP calling him Fish-head. Soon the whole table was hollering at the MPs who came over at fest end & kicked ass. Everyone got away but me who was too wasted so I spent night in Darby jail. Plenty of partying with Norwood, Steiner, Boatwright, Latusek, Libby, Ross, etc. Once a bunch of us went up to party on the canal, carved our names on the railing of the bridge, I went back to JB in '82 & the names were still there, inc. yours. Don't often think of those days so it's been fun reliving them. No doubt, the 16th was an animal house wild never-ending party, likely never repeated again.

Hello all, was stationed at J.B. 77-79. Was back for a visit in 2005, sad to see it was torn down. Have a lot of fond memories of it.

was at JB from 88-91 part of b co 2nd plt "red genocide"- dam i miss the beer and the broads- any of the old crew feel free to drop me a line

HHC 84-88 Worked in the Motor Pool

hey boys i was at johnson barracks from 76-79. Randy do you remember the first days we got there and me you and clyde painted our room?

I was just thinking about the army and the good and bad times I had at Johnson Barracks so I searched for Furth Germany and to my surprise found this site. I was stationed there from 81-83 in Echo Company. I was a mechanic in their motor pool. Sgt. Spellman was our motor sargent he was the biggest #%*$-hole you could ever meet. Right as I was leaving in August of 83, he became the Battalion cwo in charge of all the motor pools. Im sure even all the engineers in E. company remember Spellman. He rode this one puerto rican so hard he flipped out one day in the field and would have killed Spellman had it not been for about four men holding him down. I remember a Helicopter coming in and taking him away that was the last we saw of him I dont remember his name but some of the people I do like Bill Burns,Neal Moore, Ray cerie, Joe brofy,Ernie White, Mike stone just to name a few. It would be nice to hear from someone I knew back then and oh yes I remember the PT runs down the canal.
