I was assigned to C Battery 3rd 71st ADA when it was in Hardhiem, Germany, from March 1979-June 1983. I worked in Hopffingen at the IFC assigned to the UHF section. This was my first assignment out of 20 years in the Army, I met lots of good people, and have profound memories of this unit.

Comments: I was at C-3-71, Hardheim from Feb 73-Jun76 as the IFC Warrant Officer. Remember Gas shortage transportation restrictions and and 1 hour commute pass for weekend duty. Made 4 trips to Crete for ASPs spending an extra week stranded there when Air transportation diverted during the Greek-Turkish incident. Endured the 75-76 winter when the battery headquarters building was evacuated for MOUSF [modernization of US facilities] and operations were moved to tents on site with billeted troops transported daily from Peden barracks.
Appreciate this site.

Comments: Good to see information from the past, lots of memories.
Comments: My dad is CWO Orion Dennis Barrett. He was in Karlshrue and Heilbronn (where we lived) from Sept. 1957 to Sept. of 1960. He is now 88 years old & his health is failing. He has been living in Nocona, Tx. for some time now. When we returned from Germany, he was stationed at the missle base in Denton, Texas (Dallas-Ft. Worth area) and then transfered back to Ft. Bliss until he retired. Would love to hear from people he served with, it would cheer him up. He is beginning to suffer a little bit of dementia and we are gearing up for locating a nursing home in the very near future.
Comments: Good to find this site. I was there from June 1960 till may 1962. Brings back a lot of memories. Served with a lot of good guys. Thanks Dean for your hard work in setting this site up.
Comments: Hello Dean, Great website, nice pictures from our old country. I´ve never seen a better illustration from the area on the Heuchelberg. best regards Uwe
