    Just wondering where are all the crumb toters out there. I was there late ’74 to ’75 in the hanger generator shop (52B20) Lived in the ghetto and then the old 2 story barracks (HHC?) Capt. Allen C.O. One of our antics was opening both ends of beer cans and making tennis ball cannons and using lighter fluid for fuel, shooting at the Base Commanders open window (no screens at Gieb) Never any direct hits. We were young and fun-loving rascals! I remember the bombed out building behind the ghetto. We would step so gently on the concentina wire on the ground and walk over it to access the building. Using our Army penlights, we would explore. We went down a flight of steps. Then there was another flight going down. Too spooked to continue. Should have w/some good flashlights. Might have found some goodies. Anyone wanna share memories? Anyone remember Dale King when he bought the new Kawasaki H2 750 triple? The Bro let me ride it. 260 kph on the runway! C’mon, guys! Let’s chat. daviddaveinternational@gmail.com

    Hi. My dad (John Kulesa) served over in Germany during the Vietnam War. I’m not sure what years he was over there, but I know it was somewhere between 72-76. He was in C Battery, 3rd Battalion, 67th Air Defense Artillery. I’m just looking for some of his buddy’s. I know a couple of the guys he still keeps in contact with, but I’m sure he’d love to hear from more. One of his buddies is Dave Finch and I think the other is a guy named Gary Adams. I do believe my dad’s nickname while serving in the Army was “Goober” (not sure if I spelled that right). If you knew my dad and have some good stories to tell, I’d love to hear them! Please contact me. Thank you, God Bless, and most importantly: Thank you all for your service :)

    I was assigned to the 92nd chemical company 1985-1988. I was a specialist. Our barracks was located across from the comissary. Had a blast. Never stayed on post. I always jumped on the train and traveled. Came back Sunday afternoon. Started the mind games Monday morning for PT formation. Looking for famaliar names during that time.

    David Fruhling, again. Correction: I was there in ’75, not ’74. I came from the 14th. Aviation at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. What a change!

    Hi, any one there between 1978-aug,dec 1979. I was with C Btry 3/67th ada. I lived at the ghetto. I hung out with big Al and Mike Willis. and Baker to name a few. I had a good time for the most part, but was at a time when was only about 5 years since Viet-nam so was a trying time to be in the Army at times. I had just gotten married about 1.6 months and had to leave my wife back at the states with her parents ..but got to go home a few times when over there. So worked out fine.The beer was good, and and do miss those times as you get older you look back. I guess the Gieb is closed down now.. Hang in there all..

    I was at Gieb with the 318th ASA Bn, detachment A, from 57 -60. We lived in the AF billets and ate in their mess hall. Gieb had the best beer in Germany in those days, Ochsenfurt Ankerbrau, which is gone when I was there in 2006. Played basketball for the Air force team in 57. Knew a lot of AF personne. This was before the Army moved there. The U2 was there during this period.
