Kirch-Göns | Ayers Kaserne ''The Rock'' ridin' Harley-Davidson

[@michaelgrosman8346]

Thank you for the video, Harley-Davidson man. I was with Co C 3/36th Inf "Bayonets" (Weapons Platoon, 81mm mortars and TOW), Jan 1974 - May 1975. Remember some of the boys like it was yesterday...and also the drip cans under the APCs at the motor pool, ha ha. Great Plt Sgt, PSG Hooks and good LTs.

[@samuelcriss1758]

Was there in 76-78, a great experience as Medic with HHC 2/32nd Armor Division, drove an APC, lived in the motor pool inhaling all of that pollution when there running to stay warm, played war games with the French and Brits, just fond memories of such a clean country with green landscapes. great jagerschnitzel beer. Did some travel to France and England. So glad I came across this video, thanks for the memories.

Wow ! The ony thing left is the Chapel which was across the street from my barracks and mess hall. Ec 3/36 Inf 1985-1988.

[@georgschmidt5281]

I was stationed there in 1956-1957 to the 746 A.I. B.. The Chapel still standing I see. I have heard Mrs Bork saved the Chapel from demolition. Danke Frau Bork.

[@jessegomez9125]

Especially while running p.t. out the back gate.

[@Andre-iv7ys]

I was there 1993 to 1997 at 2/3 FA. In 1997 the post deactivated and moved to Giessen Germany

[@dodobutt2692]

I left in Jan 1990. You came 3 years after I left. I hope you have great memories like I do. Funny how we never realize how impactful a place will be in our lives until years later. it's sad that "The Rock" doesn't exist anymore but there are a lot of memory floating around that place. At least the Welcome Inn is still standing

I remember hearing stories about Axl Rose being in your unit 2/32 armor. He does have the unit Crest tattoo on his arm. Did you know him? Suppose to been early 80s when you were there

[@jessegomez9125]

@@tray-oq1nj unfortunately I never saw or met him.I did see him with L.A.Guns Who opened for ACDC In Sacramento.That was before they became Guns and Roses.I sent a picture of Axle Roses tattoo to four of my Army buddies but nobody ever knew about them. I noticed right away,one of my favorite bands. 2/32 Armor Victory or Death

[@attheworktable]

87-90 3/5 Cav - I see the chapel is still there.

[@tray-oq1nj]

Man we gotta know some of the same people. I know one that you would probably remember. How about Msgt Charles Cue? Real tall big black Master Sgt, or Sgt Maj Thompson or Major Luchavic not sure if I spelled his name correctly. I remember that all three of those men served in Vietnam and then went to iraq for desert storm. Sounds crazy like two different lifetimes apart.

[@attheworktable]

@@tray-oq1nj I do remember 1SG Cue. He and once smoked a cigar that I gave him when my daughter was born.

[@tray-oq1nj]

@@attheworktable he was a good one, great cadence voice especially at the end of a battalion run. Oh man remember licher hill?
