Comments: Spent 2 years at Rheinland Kaserne, 1977-1979 in the S-1 section. Would like to hear from old friends especially, Robert (Bob) Wilson. Had some good times in Ettlingen and Heidelberg. Spent a lot of time in the field in those days. Grafenwehr was a lot of fun during MTX. Sgt. Pennock was one of the best.
