Where are you from?	North Liberty, Iowa
Do you have any comments?	I was stationed at D Btry 5th MSL Bn 6th ADA in Honteim (sp?) from 75 to 78. NIKE-HERC. $26/month isolation pay. No matter what your MOS, you were a tower guard for the first several months. It sucked. Took over as classified courier and did that for quite a while. That was a blast. Drove everywhere armed, and saw lots of country. Even got to chase a SMLM vehicle once. I wanted a "real" driving job being a 64C20 so they made me the Battalion commander's driver (Duh!). Worked out of Neubruke. Our headquarters were in Baumholder. That sucked most of the time. Finally got out of that when they changed commands and went back to Delta Btry. Was the motor sargent there until I rotated back to Texas in 78. Lots of really great people. Being in a small unit was great. Lots of good food and beer. Apfel Korn is still a favorite schnaps. Wouldn't mind hearing from any of the loonies I was with. Kind of miss seeing that Boot tree outside the main gate. When a person would leave they'd toss their boots into a big tree just outside the main (only) gate. Must have been 60 pairs in it when I left.

Do you have any comments?	From June 1974-Sept 1975 I was a SP4 assigned to HHB 1st Bn 1st ADA in Butzbach but as a Operations Central Repairman but was actually stationed 60 miles away at C BTRY with the "BOC" (Battalion Operations Central). This was at Downs Barracks in Fulda. There was about 30 of us that were attached to C-Brty and we occuppied the lower floor of one of the two barracks accross the street from the Btry Headquarters. The BOC itself was located about 4 miles west of the Kaserne up on a hill overlooking the Fulda Gap. I will see if I can find some photos of the missile site (before the move to Wildflecken)that Warrant Officer Talley speaks about in his narative and submit them. Charles Talley was my superior at the time. The one thing I remember the most was the mouse that got fried on a main transformer in the wall of the OC and caused a multitude of problems with the electronics. We started noticing a smell that progressivly got worse to the point we were having to wear our gas mask to filter the smell out. It was the worse thing I have ever smelled. We eventually found the mouse after we were forced to tear half the van apart. The OC was still not 100% up and running a month or so later when I ETS'd back to the States. Good food, Good beer.
