I was in HHT 1977-1980. Anyone around from that time.

I was in the 34th Arty at Merrell from 1959 until 1961. Married in Nurnberg March 4, 1960...50th anniversity coming up in 3 days. Returned to Germany in 1963 with 2nd Bn 9th Inf - 2nd ID @ Sullivan Barracks in Mannheim attached to 8th ID. In 1990, I returned to Germany again as a civilian and managed a German foundry equipment company in Karlsruhe until 1993. I enjoyed my time in Nurnberg most and will never forget it.

I was a SSG stationed at Merrell Barracks '74-'75. I was the ASA/Signal Security Advisor to the 2nd ACR. I shared an office in the HQ S-2 with Cpt Raymond Smyth, Cpt Terry Barnes, LTC Holcombe, SGM Ransom, SFC Ken McKillips and S2 Clerk Stevie Bayliff. 2nd ACR CO's were Col Hudacek and Col Siegler. XO was LTC Charles Zipp. Arty Advisor as Maj Kennedy. Had a great time in Nurnburg and the base EM/NCO club. If anyone remembers me - drop me an email at spyone@cox.net

I was assigned to the 371 AIB in Jan 1955-Dec 1957 when the unit moved to Worms, Germany.

I was first assigned to Delta Company as an infantry man. The Company Commander was Capt Mohler who was a WWII battle field commissioned officer. The XO was a West Point Grad Lt Bringham.

I was sent to the Ordinance Supply NCO school and being the only PFC in the class, shoveled a lot of snow during the breaks. Upon returning to the unit I was assigned to the HHC S4 section as the ordinance supply clerk. I later became the chief clerk and then the Asst Battalion supply Sgt. In the S4 section I worked for CWO Reynolds & BN supply Sgt SFC Briggs.

I extended for 6 months to help the unit move to Worms.

Many a happy memory from Merrill Barracks. I think it's the best place I was ever assigned.

Of note: Seventeen years later I was assigned to the 2nd ACR 1st Sqdn at Bindlach (as a CWO) and the Regimental HQ was at Merrill Barracks.

My Son and I visited Germany in May 2009 and I did a memory lane visit to Nurnberg. Nothing is the same, but my memories are of the good times I had while assigned to Merrill Barracks.

Lived in the barracks from Oct 67 toFeb 69.Had a great time there,but couldn't make rank. Didn't get along much with COMMAND SGT.MAJOR Fogleo. Left alot of good friends there,did a tour in Nam got promoted twice.

HHB 3rd 17th F.A., 1977 to 1979, Survey, Like most, it was the time of my life. Have been trying to hook up with some of the guys. Brunner, Banshak, Porter, Dias, Russell, where the hell are you guys. Retired from reserves back in 2000.

Served in the 502nd MI CO (mechanic) from 1985 to 1989.

Late 69 to early 71: I was with 182nd LEM. I was in the move from Darby to Merrell, traded places with the 42nd HEM as I recall. Then they moved our billets from one side of Merrell to the other. I played on the company softball team & the German club soccer team made up of guys from the 182nd. Roomed with Gary Conners, Terry Horwath, Tony Barilone, others. Sometimes referred to as Steam or Vapor, tendency to disappear. Played ball & soccer with guest #125, How you doing Hawk.

My dad was stationed at Merrell Barracks from 1965-1967, he was a 1st sgt with the 34th artillery. He's gone now, but I have fond memories as a teenager there. I went to Nurnberg High School, and can remember everything at those Barracks, the old theater, the NCO club, the chapel. How great!

Was with the 116th Ord Det from 77-80 as a 27H Sheleighly missile system repairman and later became the unit armorer. Would love to hear from those I served with.

I was with the 116th ord. co. from 79-81 m.o.s. 27E/10 Tow/Dragon repairer. Anybody know the whereabouts of Doug Brown-Boston, Tim Vanallman PA, Dan Nielson Oaklahoma, SSGT Dana Larkins? Miss ya all.

:-) I was stationed at Merrell Barracks from 1966-1967, and was married in the chapel (the 3 windows above the main arch entrance). I started as a 13A10 and went to a 13B20, 3rd bn, 17th field arty, a 8 inch self propelled out fit. I had 2 appartments while I was there. one at the intersection of Bayreuther Str. and Lodwig Feuerbach Str, the secont at Barenschanz Str #51. Sgt Tarver was the ammo sgt. We used to ride to the ASP in his old Oldsmobile. I remember alot but not all. Must be getting old. lol

I was stationed with HHB 3/17FA, Jan-Aug 70. Had a lot of good friends and good times there. Looking to contact any of those there during that time. I was with the Fire Direction Team. We took an old German refrigeration trailer and converted it into an operations van. Spent a lot of time in Graf and on alerts. Looking for old friends, i.e. Ed Fry, Ed Downey, Mark Hedges especially, and any of the other guys and/or their spouses in my section. :-)

Was stationed at merrell from 1990 to just past Desert Storm. Was in Maint. Platoon for 2nd ACR. Lot of good times there, loved the pizza from across the street.

Hi guys,
I was one of the girls you guys helped to climb over the fence or make the car windows foggy, so the guard didn't see us on the backseat of the car, so we would get in Gangster-Hotel and watch the movies with you GIs...Does anybody have about 1. Ltd. Christopher (Clarence) Scott from Miami,?

I enjoyed the time I had at Merrell. I was stationed with the 116th Ord Co from 8/1977 to 8/1979. We worked in the LCSS vans next to the bowling alley and our shop was under the lanes. I got to see a lot of the country during Reforger 79 on a TDY escorting the HET's picking up broken tanks and bringing them back to Stuttgart.

I was assigned to Company D, 71st Maintenance Battalion (Merrell Barracks) from July 1971 to September 1974. Half way through my tour D/71 was redesignated 614th Maintenance Company.

I was stationed at Merrill 1978-79 with 116th Ord. Co. 27B2T MOS. Fond memories of the fests, brats, and beer. Have many pictures of Dylan in 78 and The Who in 79. Would like to hear from anyone who remembers me.

Then moved to Special Weapons under Sgt Bobby Finger. Stayed in special weapons, becomiing squad ldr until the fall of 81 when I became Bn special weapons NCO/ S-2 clerk. I was with A btry in Graf when a bad fuze caused a premature detenation and blew the muzzle brake and 4' of the barrel off. Remember Range Control calling on the net that only 5 rounds impacted and the commander (I think it was Cpt McKenty) calling back and asking if Range Control had seen the muzzle brake impact. The best times I remember are at Nicko's and the fests. Though the pizzas from across the street really hit the spot.

Arrived at SS Kaserne Aug 1955, 3rd ACR (Brave Rifles) in Operation Gyroscope replaceing 2nd ACR. Was in Hq & Hq, parts man and dispatcher in motor pool. Remember Motor Pool Officer CWO Reeder, Motor Pool Sgt Doyle. Few friends names I can remember-Sgt Gilmer, Dick Beardsley, Cortez, Schuh, Schaffran. Walking by Congress Hall on way to Dutzendteich for beers, and onto Soldiers Field to watch the frauleins!! Stopping by the Bahnhof for bockwurst or bratwurst sandwiches after a night of drinking. Being a good 2 year RA returned to USA in Sep 1956. Many great memories!!!!

The other 2 photos I was working on one. I was glad to be able to sit with my wife and talk to her about the different places and sites I saw when in Germany. Will look forward to watching the message board and looking at the pictures. I have a few pictures and will try to get them posted.

Hello, I live right across the street from the former Merrell Barracks. When I moved here (in 1987) the Americans were still here. I could watch them doing PT in the mornings.
I don't know if anyone knows but they teared down a big part of the old buildings. They build a huge Furniture Store and a Parking Garage.
If anyone wants to know more, I can also send pictures.

Great times in Nuremberg, Miss my girl friend "Ulrike Hartmann". My first - "True Love". I would sure like to find her and apologize for being a butthead! Anyone know her whereabouts?

Great site, too many hazy memories.Was at Merrell 78/79, C battery 3/17Th FA,I was a trouble maker so anyone I fought with or offended I truly apologize.Sorry to see Merrel close(not as sorry as the com-rads at the pizza joint and Shell/Bier station).Anyone remember the plank over the fence behind the Shell? That was mine and for you guys who were restricted and had no other way to get bier,you are very welcome.I would love to hear from any old salty dogs from the best days of my wild and misspent youth even if you don't remember me.(I was the guy who fought with polizi AND MPs And actually came out of it remarkably unscathed! Oh, and 2Nd Looie Anderson, If you are still out there somewhere, you still owe me for the camera. Goosgott!

My ex-husband Jason was at Merrell for a couple years (1988- Desert Storm).We had many good times there & Our Daughter was born in the local hospital. I would love for her to see it all someday

I was in the 53rd ordnance company at Merrell Barracks from July 1962 to October 1964. Billy Davis jr. of the 5th Dimension fame was there at that time and sang at the EM clubs. We hung out at Siemans Gardens and all of the GI hangouts downtown. Hillbilly, Regolettos, 21, The American Hotel. We always went to the Volksfest and played baseball right below the big stadium at soliders field at the Dusendike park. :-)

Great memories of the Barracks! Was there in 68-69, transfered from 66th HEM in Kitzingen. Was assigned to the supply room in the basement with a usually missing LT. Spent most of my time in the day room with the fusball table over looking the parade grounds or listening to Petula. Shared a room with "Smitty" and he loved everything Petula. GREAT, GREAT memories.....

I came from Fussen with the 70th fa in 1951 as the HDQ SURVEY SGT.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YA' ALL !!!

I was there in 1969. Was that the 71st maintenance company, and worked in the motor pool.

An old buddy from the 359th ASA tipped me off to this web site. Served in the 2nd ACR from Feb 81 - Feb 84 in the 359th ASA. My ex-father-in-law was Terrible Terry Trobough, Regimental Command Sergeant Major, for those that remember him. He is still kicking outside of Ft. Riley, KS and doing really well. Miss the good times we had back then and the good people.

I was a medic with HHB 3/5th FA in Merrell from Feb 1984-Jul 85, assigned to Alpha Battery. They say "you can't go home again" and that saying is true. I returned to Nurnberg 20 years to the day I left, to drop someone off at the airport(My unit was supporting a big exercise in Graf, summer of 05). I guess I expected things to look the same, of course it didn't. Driving around still brought back old memories though, especially when I drove to an ex-girlfriend's house, my heart still raced like it did 20 years before but, I didn't knock on her door(somethings are best left in your memories). Merrell and Nurnberg will always hold a place in my heart and mind.

I would like to say hi to FSGT Dougee, John (Jack) Hoffman, Stan Layhew, Ray Salinas, Kirk Kuykenall, Jack Stewart, Fred Kasten, Kevin Cass, and especially my good friends Gene Gomez, David Lavers,and Charles Womack who I think of often. There are many more of you but not enough room to mention everyone. I hope to visit Nurnberg next year during my travels. :-)

I was with the 116th Ordnance Company at Merrell Barracks from 1981 to 1983. During that time we were renamed to the 45th Ordinance Company. MOS 27E Tow & Dragon. This was my last post before getting out. I really enjoyed my time in Germany and at this post.

I was stationed at Merrell with the 116th Ord Co from May 78 through May 80. Drove by Merrell a couple of months ago (March 2009) and was sad to see all the changes. I was kind of hoping I could go inside the building, but that was not possible. Spent the rest of the day in the old city eating bratwurst, ginger cookies, and seeing the sights. Remember the castle, the dungeon, and those impressive churches? Fortunately, that all looked the same and reminded me of how much fun we had thirty years ago.

I was stationed there in 76-77 as a artillery surveyor. Wish I could have stayed longer since I left in a rush. Good friend Greg H.(Spokane) had an accident after attending the fest and would love to hear how's he doing. Meet a beautiful girl at the fest and was able to sneak her and a friend in the barracks, so much for security.

i was stationed in merrell barracks . 2nd ac service co 1954/1955. went tdy to amberg ,bamberg .and bayreurh,

Had a great MWR relationship, with that feisty German (Kraut, :-), greenskeeper of Soldier's Field, Paul Reuss, unfortunately died 18 years ago.
We had great times at SF.
Tina Turner, Billy Joel, etc. concerts, and the Noris 200 Miles of Nuernberg Car Races.
Paul got really pissed off (he had three German Shepherds), which failed "police academy", Xenia, Xaro, and Xealia."
Xenia developed a "love" for my then 11 year old son, and wouldn't follow Paul's commands. She followed him, David everywhere.
The 34 Towers were not meant as prisoner cells for "Allied Prisoners" i.e. Churchill, Stalin, the Queen, Roosevet, etc. They (4) were power stations for the floodlights. The rest were for the "EM" Swine, I mean You've got 120K guys drinking all night in Nuernberg, they have got to P**s somewhere.
But, where with the exception of 4, for Officers reserved toilets; they had seats.

I was there from 6-83 to 7-85 in the 502nd MI. motorpool. I remember most people from then. Room mates were Roberto Arce, Andy Bolten, Artrice Woodard. Bill Maravelli and Jeff Jones

Hey guys we need to get signed up on these new Multiply pages. These pages will link us all together. There's one for each kaserne, plus one for the main site. The more members we have, the higher in the search engine standings we'll be.

Great site!

Came to Merrell from 3d Squadron at Amberg in the Fall of 1964 as a captain & left June 1965; served as Regimental Communications Officer. Shortly after arrival an Artillery soldier found a BMW motorcycle in an underground motor pool, got it up in parts via a ventilation shaft and drove it around Nurnberg. Said there were 9 motorcycles (3 w/sidecars), light trucks & halftracks at that place. Also remember the 13 1/2 steel beer can antenna our guys designed and put on top of Regimental HQ Bldg; it gave first time ever direct FM contact with 2d Squadron. Equipment included 26D rigs, even an old 26C. Great bunch of soldiers who worked very hard and could always be counted on to do their jobs and solve sudden problems in an innovative way.

Where did the years go?

Hello;
My ex husband (PFC Gary Platt)was stationed at Merrell Barracks from 1971 through 1974. He was with D Company 71st Maintenance and we both had a great time traveling around Europe while he was stationed there. Of course, we made lots and lots of friends too. I remember Art Worman, and Clark & Sylvia Mayhew, and the two twin brothers (one was named Charlie) and the two good friends who were from Springfield, Indiana (they were so into the stereo equipement)and there was a really fun guy whose last name was Bendig/Bending??? I worked in the special order department with a retired Sergeant Major Schaffer?? I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM ANY OF THESE FOLKS...AND I AM SURE MY EX WOULD TOO. OH his sergeant
was a really nice guy who was married from a lovely woman from Juneau, Alaska and they had several terrific boys (and we bought their VW BUG from them--red).
Here is hoping I hear from someone..

What a great time to be in such a location, if only I/We realized it at the time. I wouldn't trade those times for anything. So many great memories. Its great to see guys who spent that era get back together and staying in touch. Thanks Ron and Carter for your efforts. We all should meet in a central location sometime

I was there from June 1966 to November 1967. Made some great friends that my wife and I still stay in contact with. Especially Carter Schuld. :-)I hope Carter and Ron are successful in getting some type of reunion together.

February '1966 to September '1967

Headquarters Company 2nd Armored Cavalry Worked switchboard and desk clerk in Comm Center and also on the Commo Wire Team.

Loved some bar downtown where Millie was the most beautiful waitress. Across the street from the kaserne (up on the theater end) was a restaurant that made awesome schnitzel sandwiches - used to scale the wall at night for shortcut.

The Volksfest was the best time and the outdoor restaurant by the Dutzendyke (sp?).

We were surely in an historic place.

Heidelberg was my favorite city that I visited.

:D was with the 2nd a/c from 1966 to 1967 as a teletype operator. locked in a cage day and night, typing my ass off. to much drinking led to my demise, so off to rehab i went.to bamberg germany. did't last long there either, and off to colburg germany to dry out. honorable discharge in 1968, can you believe that.

Hey you 614th Maint. Co. vets...

I have set up a page at military.com for the unit from the time BEFORE it left the 71st (I think that was in... 1986?)

There are two pages for the unit there. One is over-all and is not attached to a battalion. The one that is attached to the 71st is mine.

<-- Just click the Home Page button.

Hey, I was in Merrell Barracks from early '75 until late '77 with 84th Engineers. I was stationed with Wallocker, Seburg, Beesley, Sgt. Ballican (Pineapple), Shortridge... All of them good army buddies that I'd like to meet up with and talk to. I haven't talked w/ anybody since '77.

I worked for SSG Reese for a while under the bowling alley then moved to SSG Peterson's shop. I remember one time SSG Peterson said, "I don't care what you guys call me", so Murphey started calling him sweet daddy pete. Pretty funny at the time. I remember that Sgt Peterson was the manager of the NCO club too. SFC Millard was my platoon Sgt. He seemed kind of strict to me at the time but looking back I have a hell of a lot of respect for him.

I'll never forget the burgers at the PX annex. You could eat one of those and then taste it all day. Burger King had nothin on them. I remember the Pizza stand across the street too, we used to call it Sleazy Pete's. You could get a pretty good pizza back then for five marks. Ah, such fond memories of the food.

I was a member of S&T Troop for about six months. I was a young dumb kid and managed to get out before my time was up. I have regretted it ever since. I was there in 89.

What a great site! I was in HHT 2ACR, Commo, from 1975-1976, Merrell Barracks. Spent many a nite at Cafe Schmidt, Mario's, and the Beer Fests. I was buddies with Roy Parker, Quigley, Ward, Adair, Manny, Van Burton, Smitty, and so many others. Does anyone remember when Epstein dove in the Dykes and broke his neck? He had to wear a bodycast from the waist up for a long time. I was in the tent Commo pitched on New Years Eve 1975 outside Headquarters. We all got smashed, passed out, and someone stole the tent from over us. What a great time! If anyone has the HHT Company picture from 1975, I sure would appreciate getting a copy. Hope to hear from all the Old Dragoons!

Hello,

Was there from March of 80 to Sept of 81.
I used to coach softball down at the housing complex.

I was a mechanic with HHB 3/17. Our CO was Captain Moore and the 1st was I do not remember but I think it started with a G. Ran into him working on the IG team at Foot Hood. Hung aroud with a guy name David Miller. Commo Sergeant was SSG Posie. And the names of Hal, Timothy and Bruce seem to righ a bell.

Oh and attend a Baptist Church. We started on Furth and then moved to the economy. The pastors name was Luther ??

I do remeber we had a piolt in our church who led the music. And we had a civilian who had three daughters who could really sing.

And more comes back the more I write--The church also had Colonel Billingisly and Wiseman--who had two good looking daughters. One who I ran into many years later dating a fried of mine from high school. My friend called me on the phone and said he had a surprise for me. Its a small world.

And on the soft ball team was a girl named Rita Dodge--seems she has sister named Angela--no Angela was our catcher.

Ran into Rita and her family years later at Fort Hood.

And there was Courtney and Larissa Lewis--I think their father was Colone Lewis of the ACR--never came to a game--

We also had a good mess sergeant. I can remember if we got back late from a mission and missed chow he would whip some up. Did not matter what time of the night.
