West Columbia, South Carolina | Monday, 5. November 2007 00:10 Host: cache-mtc-af15.proxy.aol.com I was a medic in HHC 16th ENG.Bn. from Nov. 1984 untill Oct 1986(ETS).I made some good memories and great friends there.Havihg had my own APC in Scweinfurt spoiled me, so I always hated bumming rides with whichever company I was sent. Usually on a dusty old supply deuce.I used to think “Deussenhaff” was a german word for truck!LOL! That is untill I got a license for one and saw it written for the first time. I got my Spec. Five pinned on me right there in the street in front of HHC. Then at PLDC in Ansbach it got changed to Sgt. stripes.Ansbach had the very first Burger King to open on a military post anywhere in the world and I most definitely enjoyed it! I totally remember running along that freezing canal @ 0darkthirty. I was always afraid that someone still drunk from the night before (or a couple hours before)might slip and fall in. Yeah,I was a medic,but I couldn’t swim!The german beer-farts were the worst part.LOL! Yeah, I got alot of memories from JB, but the best are of a girl in the 42nd Amb Co. who stole my heart and I’m not sure I ever got it back. If anyone remembers me email me. I’ll write back. CATAMOUNT! |

parts of the canal have been in use before, however completely been finished in the 90ies.
Purpose was to connect the North Sea with the Black Sea for smaller cargo vessels, via the River Main and the Danube.Check a map.
No more street cars.Buses now and U-tubes.
As you may have read, nothing left anymore,industry and other commercial facilities on former Johnson grounds.
I have lots of business to do there almost every day.Strange feeling every time I drive around there.
I used to play at Johnson with my band quite often in the mid and late 60ies.Some club up on 1st floor.
Funny, the little bar right across from the main gate is still there.
I am sure you remember the CAMERA club,a little ways towards downtown Fürth,hung around there all the time, also played there very often.Live bands almost every night.
ThomasBill K.:
Thomas,
Thanks for the info!I would really like to go back to Furth just to visit? Dont know if I will? The club that was on the first floor was the POfficers club, The NCO club was in the basement!Louis:
Wow, ocs is still there huh? ( over cross the street ) thats what we called that lil bar across from Johnson barracks. Hey Thomas,do you thinkyou can take some pics and upload of what it looks like now? I was there from 88-90 and loved it:). |

The retreat in Berchtesgaden for a week with the side trip into Salzburg – yeah, still got lots of pictures of you and SGT Wilmot and others. Hof border patrol, alerts, random drug testing (absolutely needed), guard duty with nothing but a poncho and a night stick, PNCOC and later BNCOC schools, and watching World Cup soccer games with the German troops at Hohenfels at 0200 hours, getting the polar bears drunk at the Nurnberg zoo, riding the S-Bonns for “free”, chasing the nurses at the hospital after playing volleyball against them at Darby Kaserne, playing tennis at 4:00 a.m. at the high school in the summer because the days were like 18-hours long, and on and on.Mark Ballance:

He brought me to the PX and I got a banana split (loaded) for 75 cents also in the Barber shop they had comics so I was able to still get my Sad Sacks and Richie Rich’s while I was away from home. I would stop by and visit him at the guard house and we would just talk. Some other guys would show me pictures of thier homes and families.

I used to play AYA baseball in Furth (also HS sports for Nberg) and we always practiced on the field at JB that was behind what I thought was a stockade/MP barracks along the canal. Our coach was CSM/SGM Chevalier. Also, my brother-in-law was an MP/guard there at JB…from 1972-1977 his name in Ken McKenna…I think he was a SGT.
We also always practiced football on that big old field behind the motor park…I remember sometimes when we were brave, we’d go under the canal through the sewer/drainage ditches!

Anybody know Tony Drevs (exhuby), Jeff Abbott, etc
I never did get a chance to thank all of 16th that went to Desert Shield and Desert Storm. It may be late, but never forgotten and still just as appreciated now as it was then. Thank you – all the Vets!

Probably met and had the best friends I ever had in my life there. C company was the best time (when I was single!). Its too bad JB is part of history now, would have liked to have seen it again, I have some pictures that I will post soon. Wouldn’t mind hearing from some of the folks of that era.
Take CareDonald Stives:
Mike, I was there from Oct 82 until Sept 84. I was in A-co as well. Your wife was in A-co. I am trying to remember her. What did she do there? The times in Germany were much better than the times here in the states.
Thanks, |

ARMY BARRACKS 
I ran across this site by accident, like so many other guys have, I suppose. It has been very interesting and a little heart warming if I can get away with using the term, reading many of the comments, especially from those who were there during my time. I was stationed at JB from 81-82, with the 16th Engineers, B Co., 3rd platoon, I believe. It’s been a long time, and like the old barracks, a lot of my detailed memories of that old place have faded. What remains, are the faces and the places I visited and the time we all spent together dreaming of getting back home– to the world on that freedom bird. I had 14 months left on my enlistment when I got orders to Germany. I left Fort Hood, Tx and the 1st Calvary Division and ended up at JB on Memorial Day weekend. I can thank the Army for reminding me of this each year on one of my favorite holidays of the year! As a replacement, many didn’t trust a Spc4 coming in with only 13 months left to serve. I guess they thought of me as a member of CID. And I guess some where a little envious that I would be going home in just over a year. I couldn’t believe some of these guys had served there together for three-four years. JB was bitter-sweet. Thousands of miles from home with the WARSAW PAC Armies just miles away and the occasional banging on the door early in the morning from the CQ yelling, “Alert!” Do any of you remember the barracks being haunted? How you would be walking down the hallway to the latrine in the middle of the night to take a wiz, and sense that someone was behind you and when you turned around, there was no one standing there in those hallways that looked like they were a mile long. Or how when doors would just suddenly slam shut on their own? Part of the the barrack’s mystique, I guess. From time-to-time, like today, I think of that place and those I served with, like Eddy Savage from KY, Pringle from FL, Joel from California, and so many more guys who will always be forever young in this old soldier’s mind. God bless every one of you!
