I wish that we had digital cameras back then. It was expensive to develop a ton of pictures. I didn't take as many as I should have. Most of my pictures are of people getting drunk in the barracks. When you are young and crazy , you don't think about all of the things that you would want to remember when you get to middle age. Good job with the down town photos. It brings back memories of Nurnberg.
@tgbutler603 You are so very right. I am at least glad that I have this to share. You know what else. I do not have one picture with me and my M16. Not one picture of me in the field at Graft or anywhere for that matter. I did not want pictures back then and now I wish I thought different..
Thanks for the nice vid, I was in Bamberg, Muna Kaserne, 1973 thru sept. 1975. We wore the same unit patch, 71st bn. 504th maint. co. 31E, field radio repair under SSg. Vernon Smith. Vietnam was ongoing when I arrived in Bamberg, just happy not to be in a "hot war"! Thanks for the memories!
I was there from Jan 86 to Oct 90, almost 5 years. I saw many come and go. Lots of partying, lots of friends, lots of fun. Texas Pub, the dancing club over by Johnson Barracks, and many other party places. Wolf Pack! No Slack!
The Bar across the gate at Darby wasnt that the Rocket? then down the street was the Hard Rock Cafe downtown was my favorite place the Green Goose! and the Irish Pub. 317th at WO Darby and 317th Monteith Barracks 91 92 I was 45B in the Armament shop
Wow powerful songs to reflect the time we did this silly stuff. The Yard Dawgs were the best squad of men a guy could ask for. All squad members have gone on to current careers in many high level jobs. God Bless them all! Wolf Pack! No Slack!
45th Ord Co. back in. 85-86. I loved Nurnberg and merrill Barracks. The locals told me thru hand signals and what German i knew, that it was an SS training base back in WW2. So much history in that country. If I was fluent in German, I'd have probably stayed. Thanks for sharing this vid, and God bless you !
Wow, this video brings back alot of memories. I was there from 88-89 and I loved that place. Hey ptrace, I remember that pizzeria you are refering to that was right outside the gait. I used to eat Calzones from there and they were great! I also remember the Green Goose as I spent alot of time there. I would love to revisit that place.
I was there from 84 to 86 1st 94th field artillery bravo battery i went by Trace.Great video love green goose.what was that popular bar just outside the gait i was there a lot just can't remember the name , husband and wife ran the place think they were greek
@ptrace1 Hey there. Are you talking about Smittey's Bar and Grill with George and Tina? Right across from Gate 11? That was a regular hangout for us also. Stay in touch.
@jacksblack1 This is a great video brings back a lot of memories, I was in the field artillery battalion,outside the gait near our barracks was a bar on one side and a small pizzeria on the other and yes I remember the guy george.See hitler stadium in the video i went to a monsters of rock concert there.Great job (makes me feel old though}.
@ptrace1 Lets see, Warlock, MSG, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Ozzy,Scorpians. I was there tooooo! Lol.. Yes that was Napoli Pizza to the left and Gyros Imbiss to the Right. I loved that Gyros and have searched all over the states but could not find any like the Gyros across from gate 11. I need to send you a current aerial view of Darby and Furth. . Stay in touch.....
@ptrace1 Yes I remember the Green Goose! I spent probably too much time there!! I also remember that Pizzeria right outside the gate. I used to eat Calzone's from there every day and they were delicious. Wow, brings back alot of memories.
@videojunky88 oh, okay...thanks. I had gotten there in 87 and a few females were still assigned to the unit by the time I got there. They all left when their time was up.
OMG! I was the CSM for the BSB that closed Darby! I remember moving all the single soldiers out of Building 41 and into family quarters! Anyone remember the "Little Nashville"?
Wow!! Never thout i would see this place again. I was there 1985 to 1986. SP4 Isy Sanchez. Anyone remember Jim Gross, Smitty, Sal or Crawford? I was on gaurd duty on the front gate most the time. This video brings back alot of memories.
@izyman53 Hey Izy, Looks yea, I was on gate guard with you. Man, do I havce a surprise for you. You have no idea who all I am still in contact with. You will have to call me to find out.

@jma00a1- Great to get your comment from someone that was there at the same time. I would have never believed that there would be Russians living where we used to sleep. Strange world these days.
holy crap!! I recognize several people in those pics!! I was stationed on Darby in 317th. And I used to work in the Cannibilization Point on Johnson Barracks. You wouldn't know how to contact some of those folks, would you?

We must make contact. and I will give you my phone number. I currently live in Texas also. My name is Stelly Who are you and when was you in the317th and at Johnson. This is awesome.
