We are here, but the issue as I see it a lot of us from I Troop were at the Burg in the early 70,s.

I was stationed there 1974-1976. Times were different in Germany then. Amberg was a different kind of place.

The Border duty was great!!!!! When Pond Barracks was being up graded in 75 we got the chance to spend 6 mos at Camp Rotz , I was in heaven. When I was stationed in K-Town in 88 I drove back to Amberg on a weekend things had changed. No more Hawaii Bar, No more Micky's Strip Bar in Graff. Just glad I was there when we had M551's.

Bernard Turner, some how I lost your post.

I responded and it seems to get gone also.

They were remodeling the Barracks while I was there.

We were the last barracks on the right as you came in the front gate.
We left Amberg in mid Fed 76 and didn't get back until May just ahead of an AGI. That is another story in itself. We spent about 100 days a Rotz then an off season gunnery, then a couple of field exercises before going back to Pond Barracks.
