Tell us a little about your cav days.

Germany was a magical place to a wide eyed 20 year old. From the 600 year old buildings, cobblestone streets, city surrounded by a moat, fantastic food and beer to the totally different language, life was exciting and a challenge. Like most soldiers I was homesick however my wife came to Germany sometime during spring 1971. Lived off post just north of Amburg. I bought a Karmann Ghia 1500S (rustbucket) and was able to explore a little bit however I wish that I would have had more time and money to do more. We used to go dancing and drinking out of town a little ways in a town that had steel mills , can't remember the name. We also used to shop for stereo equipment I believe in Vilseck - do you remember Teac and Akia reel to reel tapes? Spent a lot of time in Grafenwohr (tank gunnery) and Hohenfels (manuvers) and on the border at Camp May (border patrol).

Tell us a little about you now.
