Was on Maintenance Crew, (22F20?) early 1967 thru April 1969. I was the guy who always seemed to have a camera slung around his neck. (except in the launch area). The photo from Dec, 68, Crete II, Fire 1 was taken with my camera although not by me but the road guard to whom I loaned my camera for the photo. The photo of the ASP Crew has some that I remember. Far left, 2nd row, is Staff Sgt. Bobby G. Long, just to his right with the briefcase is yours truly, middle front row is SFC Stanford. I believe that the middle of the 2nd row is CW4 Lowry. I have some photos from from my tour of duty that I'll try to find and get them uploaded to your page. Might be while though to find them. Reading this website brought back some GREAT memories.
:D

I was stationed at C-1-67 Hardheim from '65 to '68. I was a 24Q radar maintenance in the IFC section. I arrived there from the Key Largo Florida N-H site as a SP4 and left as a SP6. A lot of fond memories, some really good people to work with and a lot of work in those 3 years, but it was a good opportunity.

I was there in 1963 to 1965. My assign section was the grade big C with Sgt. Holland. John McFarland if you get to read this section, how are you doing from your wounded leg ? Remember? I got called into Sgt. Clark's office to Explain.

I had lots of fun and good memories of this place, Germany. I'm retired and having a great time. I wish you all could come in the winter to where I live, we have people from Wis. Iowa, Min. All we do is play Golf an enjoy Life.

With Charlie 3rd 71st from May 1961-November 1963. I arrived at C Battery as a 630 but OJT to 177 after 6 months. Performed a number of jobs while there including B section panel operator, generator building operator and LCT operator just before I left.

I can remember my first day at C Battery (19 years old), I accompanied some of our comrades to the Castle and had my first taste of German beer. If you look at the 3rd71st 5th anniversary C Battery group picture, I am second from the right bottom row.

I don't know if you ever heard of a certain PFC who while on guard duty in the launch area (tower 2) fired two warning rounds because he saw someone on the fence at 3:00AM.

That would be me!

Have fond memories and would like to hear from anyone there at the same time. Still going strong

I was stationed at the Nike site in Hardheim from 74 to 76, and while so many truly did not like that 24 on, 24 off schedule from hell.....I was single, 20 years old, and it was perfect for me at the time.

Once a month there was a hitchike to Penden Barracks and then a train to Frankfort.....only problem was no trains going back so beginning at 3 or 4 am there was a significant push to get back in time for the 7:00am guard mount.....that was always a challenge.

Anyone hear from a Tom Therault or a Skeeter Anderson, both missle crewmen and friends, please point them in my direction. Also, I always wondered what happened to the Duetuerhauf in downtown....loved the old couple that ran it but really loved their two grand daughters as well.

Take care folks! Here's to surviving!

Glad to hear from you again. Not many remember me. I also have forgotten many. Do not get old. The old saying: "Only the good die Young." I am still around just had 83rd b/d in Jan. Still in fair health. Teethy are false, ditto hair and wear hearing aid. Got one false knee But I'm still the same old pain in the --- I always was. Also wear bifocals So take my glasses off and Any of my old troopers can kick my * * *. I sure miss the old days and the companionship of good people. We did a good job.
