    Just found this site and boy does it bring back memories. I was stationed with B. Co. 17th sig. at McNair from Nov. 87 till about middle of 88 when I was transfered to C. Co. 17th sig. at Gibbs. I was at Gibbs until July of 89. Anyone at either during that time?

    I was stationed there from 1961 thru May 1963, with the 69th Engineers (Topo). The company commander was Capt. John Myers (a great leader and person).

    I returned to Frankfurt a few years ago, and some of the barrack buildings were still standing. Good memories.

      I lived in Gibbs from 1980 to 1983. My dad was at chemical company, First Seargant Danny Ray Tester. Unfortunately, he died in 1985. I was a little kid and have good memories about that time. Except the bomb one night. It went up exactly in front of our house. I was so scared. I have exact memories of the playgrounds, my best friend’s name was John. In the 90ies, I visited the area, but everything was different…

      I was with the 22nd Chemical Co from 81 to 83. When I first arrived it was known as the 22nd Criminal Co until we got a new CO, Capt Burgett cleaned house kicking people out of the Army or giving article 15′s. I was there when the bomb went off in the housing area and one of the clubs, I think it was the plantation club but I’m not sure.

      Tony Atchinson and Hector Fiol,

      Remember both of you. Tony think you left shortly after I took command. Hector remember you well. Your old platoon sgt – SFC Candaleria – died not long after us being there – had a heart attack.

      I actually stayed in the Army and retired after 26 years. Now working in Washington.

      Those were good times.
