Boy, finding these sites on Wildflecken, "The Rock" brings back memories. I was in 2d Armored Division, 498th MP Det. We came over from FT Hood, PDY, as part of Reforger Brigade 75. I worked in Wildflecken for three years, and loved every minute of it. Thanks for providing the memories to an old MP.

I was a TCA in D/3/59 ADA.I was there from 75 to 78.My first BC was Captain Kimel,he was a good C.O.I saw Captain Mellon's name on your blog,man he could teach Volume 5 the rules of engagement very well.Delta Battery was located in Babenhausen,most of the time it was a froze over mudhole.My last C.O.,was Captain Alley and my best Platoon Leader was Lt.Thomas.I know that the Kaserne was sold back to the Germans in 2007 and the old Hawk site was converted to a Patriot site and after that the site was used for training for troops headed for Iran.Anyway,her's to old friends,Grattage,Gilliam,Edwards,Wilson,Williams,Jenot,Vandevender,Radar Radford and all the rest.

I was stationed in Wildflecken 1971 -72 with the 1/1. I didn't realize it then, but this was probably the best time of my life.
