Comments: After all these years, I finally found time to look for the guys I was stationed with at the 545th. Ord. On 11 Jan. 1976 I came in with 7-8 Infantry men from the Frankfurt Replacement unit on the Train to Darmstadt. Nobody was there to pick us up. It was damm cold in out Class As. We then got in contact with the
MPs and they informed the 545th that we were waiting on them. Two guys came to get us in a dues and a half , it was dark and they drove the back roads to Muenster.
We thought we were at the end of the world somewhere in nowhere.
Anyway we got there. I was assigned to the Transport Platoon being I was a 64C30 Heavy Truck driver. The next couple of months went by and I went on temporary duty to the HHC 15th Ord. Bn. as a courier. Everyday from Darmstadt to Mannheim and back or sometimes to Pirmesens. That lasted just short of year. That was when the 545th was reassigned to the 59th Brigade/72 Ord Bn, I was sent back to Muenster. All in all not a bad place to be. We had some fun times and some foggy days. Some of guys last names I remember are: Shaw, Little, Robbins, McGaha, White, Roads, Wallace, Durham, the chaplains assistent Niskanen, Lt. Baird (my best man at my wedding). I got married to my German girl in Aug. 79 and stayed in Germany as a civilian. There are a lot of stories to tell about those days. The Muna was left abandond 1995. They built an industrial park and renamed the area Breitenfeld. I still live in Germany near Darmstadt in Griesheim and still have my loving german wife.
I'd love to hear from anyone that remembers those days and me.

Comments: Europe was absolutely the best place to be. I was a tower rat for a few months and then worked in the Operations room as clerk typist. Bill Santy was my good buddy and we spent a lot of time in Dieberg going to the schwimmbad in the summer summer, going to Heidelberg, drinking beer at the hotel Mainzerhof in Dieberg and other gasthauses and of course great times during Fasching. We went on leave to go skiing in Garmisch and had a blast. I also went on a solo bike ride to the Bodensee. On another leave I drove my VW to London and met my parents. We drove to Scotland and met relatives and then went to Ireland and met more relatives. On another leave Adam Chalekian, my new room mate, and I drove to Spain and had a great time in Costa Bravo. My service at the 545th turned out to be a fantastic experience. Great memories!

Comments: Reading all these messages sure does bring back memories, mostly all good and fun. Lots of great people. Lots of beer and drunk times. Remember I arrived after dark after someone picked me up from the airport. Remembering the driver having to yell so loud on the rotary phone confirming they were on the way back. On the way to the kaserne I was introduced to liter bottles of beer. I woke up with a hangover on a Saturday morning. All was quiet that morning. Slowly people started to wake up. First person I met was Mendez from commo, great guy and friend. Remember lots more people reading these messages, Tony and Reva, Meyreles, Cindy and Little, Lanier and Gogan, Crazy Murphy, Poor old Maj Herd. All the alerts, ration cards and the bowling ally.
Yep lots of great memories 76-79 too many to write down. Hope all that read this is doing fine.

Comments: 545th is where I ended my military career as an enlisted serviceman (SSG) and started my new career as a warrant officer. I remember standing in front of the Orderly room after PT. The Orderly room clerk came out and said I had a call from DA. The call was to notify me that I was fooed into the warrant officer program. I was pinned by Maj Kirby. Within a few days Zi was off to Redstone Arsenal for WOCS. After completing WOCS I was reassigned hi 535th in Siegelbach.

We were in tech support and actually had cush jobs with that MOS. My best memory at the 545th was going to the NCO club outside the gate and having a few beers every night. We also traveled around Europe a lot. Love to hear from any tech support men of that era. Thanks Larry

Comments: Hello my name is Jim Nutter, and no shit, there I was. As I

looked around at the quadrangle with the painted trees, and the

WWII stucco structures with the wooden shutters and tile roofs,

I wondered where in the world am I. It was August 1972, and I

had spent the last three months at Gibbs Kaserne, Frankfurt.

You guys remember Frankfurt right? With the big PX, all the

clubs, culture, entertainment, and $20-dollars-for-twenty-

minutes Crazy Sexy! And now I am in Munster.



I infooed the First Shirt that I was a good typist and would

rather have a desk job. Company Commander Cpt. Charles Q.

Cutshaw asked me if I would take over the Nuclear Human

Reliability Program. Their Surety Clerk, SP4 Tommy Overstreet

was to ETS and they needed a replacement. Tommy met me in the

EM club and bought me a drink. It was the start of a good

OJT.



The position had responsibility, some long hours, and weekly

travel to Darmstadt and Babenhausen, for local security and

medical file checks. I took and carried your finger prints,

history and findings to the S2 at the 15th Ordnance Battalion.

They would review and forward it on to the NSA. Once I received

notification of your security clearance, you were added to the

Company Security Roster. It listed those granted access to the

back area and met a requirement for you to perfoo Custodial

Agent duties. A notice of your membership in the Human

Reliability Program was placed in your medical file. The

Program required your 201 file to be moved from the general file

office and be maintained in a more secured area. 1Lt Dockery

and SFC Nimmons of the 9th MP Det., kept a keen interest in my

perfooance.



My office was on the left as you entered the HQ building. Back

then, that building was near the PX, between the inflatable gym

and the Security Barrack. I lived in the Tech Barrack, the

first room on the left as you come up the front steps to second

floor. It had a lovely view of the bowling alley. My roommate

was SP4 Richard Adkins.



As you know, there wasnt a lot to do in Munster. But on the

other hand, there was no PT, nor any drill and ceremony. I

enjoyed taking walks through the county side. I also traveled

to site see and visit other countries. But mostly in Munster,

we drank. However, I would make it to chapel service on Sunday

mornings. Compared to other Kasernes, we had the best Mess

Hall. Our cooks were outstanding. The EM Club had the best

fries I ever had. And, if you ordered a pizza with everything,

it came with a fried egg on top.



I ETS, with an early Christmas Out in Dec 1973. At that time,

the 545th Commander was Major John P. Coppens and Fist Sergeant

was Eugene Stevens. The Company Clerk was Sgt. James Appel and

his clerk was PFC Hassan Hatic. I trained my friend SP4 Reese

Steel to replace me. I learned Reese left several months later

and Sgt. Appel became his replacement. Among the buddies that

I left at Munster were: Wayne Boyce, Dennis Kern, and Joe

Garrera. I found Army life to be pretty good in that deep dark

part of Germany.

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

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!

Comments: I was stationed with the 545 Ord company in Germany from Sept-1960 until Jan-1963 as a security guard in the "exclusion area".

I'd like to hear from anyone else who was there during this time period.

Comments: I ws stationed at Munster Kaserne from Nov. 1985 thru Nov. 1988 with the Transportation Platoon. I would love to hear from some of the men and women that were there at the same time. More especially I would love to hear from Greg Smith (Smitty). We parted on a sour nte and I have a strong desire to make things right. It has been so many years and recalling memories of the time spent there are becoming more distant but it would be nice to chat with any old Buddies.

Comments: Great times in Munster, worked in the Commo Shop from 74 to 79, and lived in the High Rise in Munster which was a party place. You had to be there... PS. just came back to Germany (GS Civ,Jun 2009) and it was sad to see the Kaserne now. But the momories are always there so was my old room. Anyone remember the Toilet Paper Bandit?
