Trip around Army Base in Baumholder, Germany - Drive Through

[@tonyrowland9216]

Thank you. US ARMY HEALTH CLINIC 1971.1974.. Tears falling,

[@kickthesky]

Been about thirty years since I was stationed there. A lot has changed in that time. Some hasn't though. Thanks for the trip back!

[@mobetta2092]

I was there from March 1995 to October 1997 in 40th Engineer Battalion

[@arnoldaltjr.2099]

I was there in the winter of 1959-60 for Combat Engineer Training. Dam, it was cold in shelter halves. We were never allowed to go to town. In 1960 the training area didn't look much different than when Rommel trained his troops there. The French, Germans, and Americans used the area and we were allowed to use each other's PX and Commissary stores. I can remember that the French knew how to treat their troops.

Great memories thank you so much. When I got to Germany in November of 1976 my unit HHB 2n Bn 81st FA was temporarily stationed outside of Baumholder at Camp Aulenbach while our barracks were being renovated at Strassburg Kaserne in Idar Oberstein. I left Germany in 1978 on an Emergency PCS due to a death in the family. I will always have fond memories of such a beautiful country except for Grafenwohr and Hohenfels.

It’s been almost 20yrs since I’ve been away from Baumholder! Oh The MEMORIES! Thanks for making this. Took me back down memory lane! Them Signs, Them Signs 🤣

[@reginabell-pepin7985]

Thank you so much for this trip back down memory lane. I was stationed in Baumholder from 1985 to 1989. I was in C Co 708 th Maintenance Co. My boyfriend at the time was a MP. I lived in Wetzel housing area, up the hill pass the Esso Gas station. As I recalled, the MP station was at the bottom of the (going back on post) to your left just past that fork in the road. Anyways, thank you so much for the trip back to the BEST duty station every. I would do it all over again. #TheRock

[@3BallJosh]

I lived there about 20 years ago. Thanks for bringing back so many memories.

[@joek2978]

A flood of memories came back while you drove past Vis a Vis, thanks for that.

[@kurtrussell5228]

And the lemon tree

[@eio1971]

I was stationed there in 96, the Esso station, Doner Kabob, Mitsubushi still there. great memories.

[@mobetta2092]

I remember that Esso Station up the hill…I’d use gas coupons from the PX on base to avoid paying cash and getting Deutschmark in return. I was in 40th Engineer Battalion from March 1995 to October 1997. We were deployed to Bosnia from Jan to November 1996.

[@mr.fairplay4800]

3/12th Infantry 94-96.....the best worse time of my life back then er called it "The Hill"..salute..who from that era remember the off post thunder run/bar crawl!....respect

[@jacquelineandress673]

Thanks for sharing! I was scrolling through different channels looking for property in Belize and came across something about Baumholder. I couldn’t believe it used to be stationed here many years ago it was great to see it again.

[@Irideonandon]

I was stationed there 1975 to 1978. Three years. I was 11Bravo. Arrived as a 17 year old private and left as a 20 year old Sgt. E-5. I look back now and I was so young but didn't know it. C Company, 1/13th Infantry, 8th Infantry Division. I heard they have since been deactivated. I spent 20 years in the military. I am a Nurse now and retire for real from all working in two years and am going back to visit Germany, Baumholder and the base.

[@davemalcom5257]

A lot of memories there. Left there over twenty years ago

[@danavalentine5860]

[@rickj9060]

Being in they Army and stationed in Germany one of the times in my life, still looks about the same. great country, people food & beer.

[@WrldGer999]

Thanks 🇩🇪🤍

[@Volesky1775]

Not really a great Country. Germany was beautiful but Germann will be more and more bad because of the left Government. No good payed Jobs. More and more illegal Migrants. No illegal or Criminal Migrants send back home... In German Schools are Arabs without Respect.

[@Cline3911]

Lived there in the early 1980's. Thanks for this.

[@jontallman3878]

I was stationed there with the CSC 2/68 th Amoured. Good times !!!

Guter Truppenübungsplatz da 😄👍🏽‼️

[@robertlewis2542]

thanks much enjoyed. I was an 82c10 there 80 - 82 HHB DIVARTY 8 ID. Worked in survey information center under E-6 Kaiser. Spent a few weeks in Wildflecken working the numbers for recovering trig points. Your not an American soldier till you have your Baumholder jacket and your Graph hat... was a saying there back in the early 80's.

[@icraigslist]

[@rockyzrockyx917]

The Baumholder Blue Boo Barrracks - still going strong all these years later!

[@davidwadsworth8982]

Wow sweet place to serve.

[@shellywheeler8984]

We lived there in the 90s for 3 1/2 years. We lived on the economy (downtown). It has changed a lot since we lived there. The houses were not all colorful in the 90s. Great memories! The food and drinks were delicious! We need to go back to visit! Thanks for sharing.

[@michaelf1900]

23 years ago I would go to the Vis A Vis for coffee, at the turn was a post office and across the street was a church. I worked at the metrolpol club on the weekends. I was known as Fritz, because my uniform shirt had the name Fritz. there used to be phone booths on the sidewalks, I did eventually get a handy, but they were expensive, I miss pre war, pre covid, pre EU Baumholder

[@shellywheeler8984]

We lived on the economy. I walked to the yellow phone booths to call home. Great memories! I loved Baumholder!

[@bobybarra3096]

Thank you. Bob, Baumholder High 1969, sophmore

[@cradleyog1]

[@mikemckelvey5062]

[@tonyrowland9216]

Wow have they cleaned up the town!

[@khalifgreen581]

I was stationed there 2002 to 2004. 1st armored 2/6 infantry.

[@jackmason9550]

2006-2009, 1/6 Mechanized Infantry. You definitely missed all of my most favorite haunts in town. Noticed Vis A Vis as you cruised by it though. Had lunch and a few beers there on a pretty regular basis. Good food.

[@johnhulklikehusthust7206]

I was there in 98 love that place my best pub was the corner pub or the Asian club next to a Irish like pub

[@JB-er8hk]

I was there between 87-89. Is the Metropol still there

Miss it.. 38 years ago.. 3/16 field artillery. 8".. bravo battery.. whole different place. I recognize baumholder lake, that's about it. No McDonald's only KFC..

I was in Svc Battery 3/16 from 83-86. Small world.

[@pathoover7868]

@@charlesschmidt2886 , wow, pretty cool.. I'm sure we seen each other a few dozen times, mostly in the mess hall, lol exact time I was there, 83-86. Before I was moved to the Czech border. Hope your life has went well..

[@charlesschmidt2886]

I lived in on post housing so I didn't frequent the messhall too often. I actually worked in the S2 Office just upstairs from there. I wasn't hard to recognize, was 6'8" 220 lbs. Good to hear from you.

[@pathoover7868]

@@charlesschmidt2886 , no, I cant remember anyone that big, lol. I visited your area quite often too. Seemed like I was always talking to S.M. skinner or saluting colonel Dodson. As a reward they sent me to the czech border.. Being in S2, you may have been aware of it. But if your memory is as good as mine, lol.. lots of luck to you in the future..

[@mariagomez201]

We lived 70-71 my husband 5th BN 83rd Artillery lived off base. Great memories nut the town has changed quite a bit
