  4. I was on JB from summer ‘92-‘95. We were some of the last soldiers in JB, the rest of the unit had moved to Bamberg. We were left behind because we were PCSing or ETSing soon and they didn’t want to pay to relocate us. We pretty much spent several months cleaning out the empty barracks and waiting for our turns to clear and PCS/ETS.
