Thanks, yeah, I have a pretty good memory. I think its still good, because I am still in the ADA in Florida Army National Guard as a CW5 now. I got out in 1988 and went straight in the Guard where they just got the HAWK system. I was only one of 6 qualified guys in the entire Battalion, and I have been here ever since. I arrived as a SPC, E-4 and now I am a CW5.
I remember much of what you stated as well. However, the 32 AADCOM was located in Darmstadt, the Battalion Headquarters was in Hoppstadten. I know this, because, I lived off-post with my then wife, right next to that small glider field. I also remember the "Tac-Site" at Delta Battery very well. Shortly before my arrival there, terrorist from the Red Army Faction cut holes in the fenceline there and bombed 2 of the radars. It was heavy guard duty, and roving patrols when I got there...I will never forget those days. I met a lot of good people there and like I mentioned before, I still maintain contact with a handful of them. I greatly appreciate your replies.
I don’t remember you however, I do remember some others you mentioned during my time in Reitscheid. I also remember fellow MP Chris Bennett whom I worked with for awhile before he left. I too was an MP stationed in Reitscheid from January 1988-April 1991. When I first arrived, I recall Capt. Kathleen Leydig. I remember Evensizer, ( I believe he was from California), and Abegglen. Reitscheid was pretty bad duty for an MP. SSgt. Harry Snavely was in charge of the MP section upon my arrival and I recall we had geese going around the perimeter at that time. So we had geese duty, feed, water, etc. it was pretty bad. I returned to Reitscheid in 2009 for a vacation and it was totally abandoned. The barracks were still standing at that time but the Tac Site was pretty much gone other than a couple run down buildings.
