- This video is a mashup of videos during my four years in the Army (from 1989 to 1993). They were filmed using a VHS recorder. You'll see some basic training shots as well Germany where I was stationed. When I first arrived in Germany it was still divided into East and West. The countries reunited while I was there and I filmed some nearby former East German towns. There are also some Desert Storm shots.

I was made in Wildflecken, born in Bad Brückenbau, raised in Hammelburg, Gefäll/Burkardroth, then moved to Schweinfurt, Würzburg and now I live in Georgia USA lol
I came full circle and my german side of the family still lives in those areas.
I miss it soooo much !!!
It's about time I go back home to visit 👍
Hey do you know Micheala liebsch and Heike liebsch from hammelberg? They would be about 48-50 years old now
@@lieutenantlawson4295 The name sounds familiar, but I'd have to ask my brother who owns a business in Hammelburg and he's a bit older than me, so he might've went to school with her?
Last time I went to school there I was 10 and moved away from Hammelburg, but my brother stayed there and had his circle of friends from school there as well.
He finished High School there as well, so I'm sure he knows her or of her.
I'll ask for you, if you like?
@@iGoddess yes please do
@@lieutenantlawson4295 ok will do

Just email me and that way we can keep in touch 👍
elliott sure thing, just did
I was in the same time, same place. 54 Engineer Bn. Bravo Company. Still remember First Sergeant Moss used to say he feared no man and I absolutely believed him. Wildflecken was an amazing experience. I only recognized Specialist Layne. I remember he went to work with Jag. Thanks for the great videos.
I was TDY here for two summers with the 79th. Great to see this.
Great Video Chuck, brings back a lot of memories
Glad you enjoyed it Mike! Hope all is well with you and your family! Did you take any vids during your time?
@@OKChuck NO, never really thought about it at the time, plus I'm sure a lot of that stuff would have came back to bite me in the butt. Between myself, Tapp, Lagmay, Sauer, and Graham, we did a few stupid things. Hope you and your family are doing well and staying healthy.
Great video Chuck! THAT was the most AMAZING time to be in Germany IMHO. The wall came down, the border opened, the Warsaw pact was no longer and Germany reunified. I was station in USAREUR until 1984 and then ETS'd in 1986. Went back as a civialian working for AAFES in 1989 until 1991 it was truly a magical time!
Thanks Rick!
I was stationed in Wildlecken in 1985.
Love it! Was in 1st AD in Nurnberg and Desert Storm initially. Went stateside for a year
Then orders back to HHT 2/11 in Wildflecken from 92-93.

Donavon Robbins do remember a soldier dying in a fuel pod near the motor pool in 1993?
@@blkadjuster no, it doesn't ring a bell with me. I remember they had previously lost most of their vehicles in Kuwait, to a motor pool fire in 91.But I was still in 1st AD then.
Thanks for posting! We were there at the same time. In fact, I saw my ex-husband during the Desert Storm part of your video. It's really nice to see the footage of Germany. God, I loved the Kreutzberg. I miss the beer!
WOW! Thanks for that video. I loved being stationed on top of the rock!
Glad you enjoyed it! I loved it also!

1-68 AR 1989 -1991 I really miss that place. 54th was right next door. What fun times we had there... remember Joe’s taxi taking us down to Joy Disco. Great beer! Still love Hefeweizen today.
4-34 AR Mainz to the Desert then Ft. Polk La. so many good memories except when Staff didn’t put me in for the Arcom with valor for combat operations in Iraq... because I left the damn oil dipstick loose on the M1A1... but hey no hard feelings. 🤣
A co 1/68 from 83 to 85.
A Co 54th 89-92. Great video! Alot went on at that time, the Wall, the Storm and of course the Christmas beer. I believe a part of the "Wildchicken" remains in all who were stationed there.
I agree! I went back twice since I left in 1993 and of course the first place I visited was Kreuzberg :)

Some great memories, my combat heavy construction bn would sent us tdy here throughout 1990 out of Karlsruhe during my first German tour.
I was stationed in Wildflecken back in 1985-87. It wasn't so bad, lots of good beer & good people. I was in the 108th HQ building.
Served at Wildflecken oct. 68 to april 70 2/15 Inf. Driver / aide to Batt. X.O. Maj. Rudolf Levy. Spent most of my time with Command SGT. Major Harvey Parish,meanest, toughest man I ever met. Saw Him chew out our Battalion commander for leaving Batt. in Formation in sub zero weather. Was lucky to serve with him and Maj.Levy who was a Czech. National. Escaped
I used to live there lol. I miss eating sausages yummy. There used to this ice cream truck that came by the apartment and served this bue delicious ice cream. I played in the rain all the time. Went to this big school had a bomb play ground. I can go on and on. So many bbq parties and outings. I need a military man like my daddy was lol
I pulled duty there for 2 weeks in 1969 as an MP. I can only describe it as a hellhole. I served in many Army installations in West Germany. This place was unique. Roving packs of predatory gi's looking for people to rob, assault at night. It was the singularly
worst place to pull duty in all of Europe.Thank God I was only there for 2 weeks and not assigned there permanently. A HELLHOLE by any definition.
With Berlin Brigade from 1985 to 1987 playing cards, I mean MOUT training 😂😂😂🥸😀😀
