    1. Hello my name is Wanda. I was at Ak from 1982-1985. I remember your name. I was assigned to HHSB. I worked in the S2 during the last part of my tour there.

      I found this site a few months ago and I’m happy I did. It’s nice to be texting someone from AK that was there when I was there. Didn’t do to much when I was there because it was my first duty stationed and my first time leaving home. I had never been so cold in my life lol. I miss AK. I think it might have been my best duty station. I left about the first week in January 85. It’s late here just was having a hard time falling asleep.

      Email me back.

        1. Hi Steve Gordon. Nice to meet you. Thanks for messaging me. Neckarsulm was a nice place. I use to go pick strawberries and blueberries at a farm somewhere and would come back with red fingers which looked like both my hands were bleeding.

          Right outside the front gate to the left was a little house where people from England lived. I saw a fruit tree which I thought was horse apple or crab apple tree. They told me it was a cherry tree and they allowed me to pick all I wanted. I was so happy I could understand them. They had the best accent ever!

          Guard duty!? Oh my, I have never been so cold in my life to this day! It didn’t matter what I wore or didn’t wear to keep warm I was still cold. Those last 30 minutes were always extremely bad. I tried

    1. Enjoyed my tour of duty. Extended 1 yr. 1986-1990 This was equivalent to my college years. This time groomed me as a soldier and a person.

  9. I was with the 867th FA BN and we first went to AK in late l954. I stayed there until January 1956. The 280 MM atomic cannon was the principal reason we were in Germany. There were six BN with 280MM Btry in Germany beginning in l953. I think they were phased out sometime early l960’s
