I was there at the same time in C BTY. Your name is familiar. I was an AZLAYER in SGT Hampton’s platoon. T. Brown.

@@user-se7vt5ow4e that’s cool you probably saw me daily because I was a cook

John Harper - CPT Williams here from Charlie Team. We were at Schwab together for a couple of years. Definitely some great memories of my time there. If I’m not mistaken there were a couple of pictures from the Q site in this video.

Don, I was stationed with you at Wiley Barracks C 1-9 FA. This is A.C. Aponte. Good to hear from you.

I was as well. C Team

1980-1982

a lot protesters were paid from stasi or other commies. protesters like general bastian and members of the greens. other part of protesters were people who lived around the qra sites. surely there were littles gretas too. but notice we had election '82 and germans had to decide if they want the nukes or not

picture was taken at ulm cross. from this point to inneringen = 100km...qra kettershausen was near to this point where pictur was taken

Neu Ulm I assume you where stationed? I was there 78-80 1/81 FA bravo company

Putin is not the problem, now if you said China you would be absolutely correct.

@@dennismartinovich4639 My comment was not intended to garner absolution, but if you want to drag China into my reply then I will tell you point blank this.outside of the European Theater that yes of course China is the main threat to World peace. I have been saying that since 1985 based on my military experience and the rise of China back then, WW3 will be USA & China, but that does not preclude my assessment of Russia and what needs to be done to curtail Putin's actions in Europe and the Middle East. If you want to compare WW2 as to what will come, we had 3 bad actors in 1941, we have 5 now and all of them are nuclear armed(except Iran, but that will be coming so soon now.

72/73 D Battery 1/81 Neu Ulm W Germany. Me, my 19 year old wife and two other couples, all from Texas. Traveled to Austria, Switzerland, Italy, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Great Britain in our off time. Two great years. I think they kept a missile at Ft Sill after the SALT11 Treaty.

STARPAC, 73-75, Attached 56FA Brigade. Those were the scariest part about the tour, and why I spent a lot of time in the gast haus'.

@@rvykdhes I was stationed at Wackerheim in 1967-68. I left Germany 8/1968 as an E-5 in D Battery, 1/81st Artillery, Capt. Larry Jarvis Commanding officer. I'm trying to find photos or ANY information of our Pershing Battalions in that era. I am finding hardly any mention of any Pershing battery at Wackerheim in '67-'68. I trained at Fort Sill (2nd/44th Pershing Training) and we successfully fired track vehicle launched 1's from Blanding Utah to White Sands in the fall of 1966. Every thing posted on-line seems to start with the move to Neu Ulm in 8/1968 with the new Pershing II truck mounted system. That move of my unit actually began 1 or 2 weeks after I rotated back to "The State's". I know I/we were there in '67... I have pictures. I was assigned to be the Battery Commander's Driver immediately on arrival to 1/81. That experience as lead jeep in an on-alert convoy, gave me the opportunity when we were NOT on alert, to drive the "Survey Crew" chief around to confirm the presence of pre-surveyed firing site location markers. (Locals had a habit of removing markers they found as they strolled through the woods on week ends) If you can, please provide me with any sites that would provide information about Pershing units during that 1966-1968 time period.

@@dabunny other than some old documentaries that see on you tube on the track carriers my time was 80 - 83 with P1A system rember in AIT the told us about them used be on tracks and the reson for going to truck and trailer was the vibrations was cracking the solid propellant and failing the GNC section . Now everything is gone Wiley barracks is gone fort vonstribring is still in the forest to south know as CAS site or the rock from sat map it looks like a big car lot storage .

I was in Alpha Battery 1st/41st Field Artillery Battalion, 56th Field Artillery Brigade, Bismarck Kaserne, Schwaebisch Gmuend. 1981-1983. I was an 05B-Voice Radio Operator and used that exact same equipment between 1:02 and 1:04 in this Clip. A lot of good memories and I have recently re-connected with some of my former Army Buddy's I haven't seen or heard from since 1983, 37 years ago thanks to a Couple of Groups I joined on Facebook. #1 is: facebook.com/groups/122527297835469/ #2 is: facebook.com/groups/162936873914399/ #3 Is: facebook.com/groups/44638775953/ #4 is: facebook.com/groups/PershingMissile/ Check them out you just might find some old friends.

Yes, the old Ace Jack alarm. Brings back memories. Our unit was a little different . I was stationed with 128th Sig. Co. attached to 85th USAFAD and 2nd Missle Wing of the Luftwaffe up in Geilenkirchen from '82-'84. Ours was a custodial unit and the Germans had the missiles. Our Q site was in Arsbeck. It seemed most times the the alarm always went off between 0130 and 0300. Always a schock to the system. I do miss those days.

Pershing II do you have any old photos from this time? My dad was there but on fkg 2

@@Frontler Just popped up in my notices. YT, go figure. As for photos unfortunately not. The only ones I have are a few from inside the barracks. We weren't allowed at the time to take photos anywhere outside of the missiles or sites they would just sensor them. Geilenkirchen is a NATO airbase that was home to AWACS. The base is still there from my understanding. Who was your dad?

Does any one remember leo Murphy 76-84 swabgmund

I was a Pershing missile crewman azlay specialist in the mid '70s. How did SSG Leach, SGT Zephier, and PFC Shirley lose their lives?

Horrible accident, I was about 100 Yards away with the QRF when it happened.
