I arrived in Bamberg as a SPC4 in Aug 1974 and the unit was in a major training area, I don't remember which one but the next day after I got my TA50 they trucked me out to them. They really didn't know what to do with me so they stuck me with a rifle platoon. Once we got back to Bamberg I ended up being the Asst. Training NCO for a short while working with a SGT Baily. Eventually I ended up being the CBR(NBC) NCO until I ETS'd in Jun 1974. I remember there was black guy as the armorer, a SPC4 Clay, the arms room was next to the CBR room. There was a German national that had a small barber shop in the barracks next to the Orderly Room. I ended up leaving Germany with less than a year in country, I wasn't even suppose to go but you know how the Army runs. Ended up coming back in Mar 1976 as a Medic and stayed in until I retired as a SFC. Had some good times there, I remember we had a beer machine in the barracks, like a Coke machine.  You won't see that now days. To all the "Ready Rifles" take care and remember we were and still are soldiers.
