Comments: I remember working the back area. I spent 5 years in
Muenster! Got there as a PV2 out of AIT and left as
a SGT. Being an MP in Muenster is one of my best
Army memories. I know we didn't think it would be at
the time we were all there, but now in retrospect it
was really a good assignment. Mainly because of the
people and friends made while stationed there.
Everyone became like one big family after being there
so long. There is a 6th MP Co and 545th Ord Group on
Facebook for anyone interested! Lots of members and
a lot of great pictures have been posted by members.
I think it is up to 188 members or so. check it
out! You will be glad you did!

Comments: I was stationed at Muenster in the fall of 1969 through
the spring of 1971. We were infantry assigned to guard
the back area. Many memories especially the alerts and
the terrible food. Three days, three nights and we
were promised three days off but rarely got them. I
remember pulling KP even though guards were not
supposed to and then it was changed so we didn't. I
remember Mike Cowley, Harold Funk, Gutierrez, Lt.
Toner, Sgt. Rickles, and all the rest of the cast of
characters. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who
was either with the 545 or 9th MP's. I look at the
then and now pictures and can't believe my eyes. Time

Comments: I was with the 9th MPs at the Kaserne from Dec. 75- Jul. 77. Lt. Fair was the honcho, with SFC Bradley as the "Top" and SSG. Dansby, SFC Hightower, SGT. Bill Jones, SGT. Joe Liverar, SGT. Dave Lynch as the ramrods. We controlled access in the back area, with an infantry company pulling tower duty. Some of the members were my roomy Freddy Ruffner, Bill Borum, Les Bower, "Bigtime" Jim Bergstrom, Marsh Meyer, Ed Barnes,Derrick Aniconi, Dan Pertile, Bob Bustamante, Mike Sowich, Mike Slayton, Tom White, Pat Williams, Linda "Lima Lima" Wilson. What a time we had, from fights in the club, at the Dixie bar, Ludwigs to trashing the company area after the strippers wouldn't perform, of course when someone zinged one of them in the back of the head with a quarter, I could understand that! But we went from being "stact" troops to "shorttimers". Of lot of us remained friends over the years, and are re-connecting on Face Book. Would like to hear from those who I haven't found yet...you know who you are!

Everday except weekends, the guys would head out to Darmstadt, where they baked all the bread for the 7th army.There was another company also stationed there. It was a salvage company, whatever that meant. Bunch of bad apples there. I came as an occupation soldier and left as an ally.The occupation officially ended during my term. I revisited the Muna three times, in 1979, 95, and 97. Each time it was different. They had pretty much removed it by the last visit.

In the old WW2 bukers we had hundreds of A weapons and tower rats to guard them. There was violations of the Atomic Agency rules and investigators came from Washington. Thank God the extremists never stole any of them.

Interested from hearing from anyone, and especially anyone in Operations or the MP's with any memory of the grenade similator accident in maneuvers, 1966-1967, or the crossing of the East German border, sterilized, a potato or onion, 4 marks, no ID or insignia, and 4 days and nights to make it back, if you weren't captured, killed, or taken prisoner by the East Germans, Russians, or W German Police including our own Security Units. If you did not make it back to the company in 4 days, you were considered AWOL, a run away train, and the Government would dis avow any knowing of your being out there.!!??? We would still be in Siberia had we not been shot as spies. ha! Yeah the good old days. Also the 50 minus temps during the 2 winters, coldest ever in recorded history there, we bivouacked in the kaserne area and by one of the fire ponds behind the motor pool area, where we got snow and ice from to melt for our water?? Did anyone else 1049 for Viet Nam duty and Special Forces Tng for Nam to take out early radar warning systems of the SAM missles used against us in the war. Did anyone else train for this with us that remembers this ? How many health problems and any VA claims for Chemical Poisoning from this area are there?

Comments: I was stationed at the 545th from July 1966 to January 1969 as a clerk typist. I spent most of that time in the orderly room excepting a short stint in the guard towers - and I agree they were COLD!
It's been 40 years since stationed there and I still can't say those years were good years, but I do have good memories of some of the friends that I made, and of course I loved the German beer, weiner schnitzle, etc, etc.
I saw Ed Cheek's post and sent him an email so if anyone recognizes my name I would enjoy hearing from you.

Comments: Hi - I served at MbD from 71 - 73. It was overall very good duty, they left us alone mostly - had my own room, the first barracks on the left as you drove through the gate, next to the 2-lane bowling alley - when you went up the back stairs, my room was at the top of the stairs. Ludwigs was the (only) place to go within walking distance, but I had a total of 3 vehicles while I was there, all VW station wagons - most interesting one was the one with no brakes and the hood flew off while going down the autobahn (I owned the car with few of my buddies, I wasn't with them during that misadventure). Hashish was very prevalant then but (ahem) but for the record I did not inhale anything - like I say, they pretty much left us alone. While I was there they built new bunkers and moved the back area - the original back area was creepy, man. The dudes rotating out of 'Nam were the tower guards, some of them pretty messed up but we all got along. When they built the new bunkers they also built a new facility inside the wires where I worked every day - I was 35F, nuclear weapons electronics technician, but I rarely messed with electronics, just screwed around mostly all day with the other guys, mostly calibrating torque wrenches from the guys in the field. Earl Ralph Wendorf from Chicago, we were in training together in Huntsville, then Albuquerque and MbD - also John Dubbeldee from Minnesotta who abandon us there by taking an early out to do the NG thing. Wendorf and I worked for Mr. Jewart (CW4) - what a character! He and I made a trip to Permisans (near the French border) to pick up something and started drinking as soon as we left the gate. Dave Severinni from California the company clerk was a good buddy (Wooden Ships and citrole, remember Dave?) - I hung also with Earl Frank ("Pat") Patterson (como) from Birmingham, Alabama and Daryl T Quicho ("Cooch") from Hawaii. David Seipel also. Life was pretty good there, enjoyed travelling all around Europe. I also ran the bookstore in the mornings then sold snacks at the theater at night. I was getting pretty short when we got a new Sergeant, Sgt. Doyle, he was a prick and set about making life difficult for everbody who lived on base - he wanted to shock us back into army life but nobody was having any of it. Anyway, would love to hear from anybody there during that time.

Comments: 545th Ordnance Company Munster- Dieburg.

I was stationed there from 1965 to 1966 That was so long ago I can barely remember that place. I do remember the Back area The infantry guarded it and I didnt spend much time back there.
We were in the motor pool area a lot painting trucks OD (Over dirt) and bugs etc.

I remember the long walk back from town in the dark or should I say the long stagger back from town. I also remember the little Theater by the EM Club. I cant remember any ones names except for a couple of buddies Mullennex and a Chuck Ward we shared a room in one of those old building. I do remember many hours of
standing around in the woods in the cold and snow. I have good memories of that place. And think about it often. I remember we drank a lot of beer, flip tops. Oh and many days of KP.
