Interesting history of the resort. "The Army's 10th Armored Division rolled into Garmisch-Partenkirchen on April 30 that year, while the 101st Airborne Division captured both Berchtesgaden and Chiemsee a week later. As soon as the occupation began, Army Special Services officers wasted no time getting the prewar tourist facilities back into operation." History

How did you like the west coast? It was really nice when I was there. Sad to see it now.

Welcome . Rough time to be in. A lot of you guys got a pretty rough welcome home from Nam back then. By '72 they were drawing down, so I was sent to Germany. Fell free to share any good and/or funny stories you might have. Did you get to r&r in australia while you were in?

I you did basic at see campbell. I enlisted delay entry in md. so I went to Dix. A few years back my wife worked at school and was chaperoning a group of ROTC students going to Ft. Campbell. She was eating in the mess hall waiting on her group who showed up a couple hours late for mess. The chicken nuggets seemed a mystery to their old Sgt. and asked what in the **** they were. He spit the nugget half way across the mess hall when the wife calmly answered "mountain oysters." Almost forgot. A few years later we saw him doing a ropes demonstration at the fair in knoxville. He didn't recognize her intil she asked him about mountain oysters. We stuck around and had a nice talk with him.

Absolute favorite book is Low Level Hell. Took serious balls flying in the OH-6, literally poking your nose into bunkers playing bait.

It definitely got your adrenaline going. Part of my issues when I got back was missing that rush. Noticing your handle-- My Grand Daughter is a senior at ETSU this year.
