Hello All! Just a stop for some reading and updates. Glad to see things are going well for most,and that there is still a bunch of activity! I wish I had worked harder at conserving my limited brain cells. I remember incredible adventures - I see a lot of faces in my mind, and recognize many names here, but am hard put to combine the two. At some point I'll have to post some of my many photos from 80 to 85 and maybe some of you can fill in the blanks.
One incident I'll never forget though was sitting radio watch and hearing G Goudreau utter the famous "WHAT THE F&#K OVER!!!" on the net (Looking for and trying to contact SSG Woodalls team If I remember right). I literaly fell out of the truck I was laughing so hard.
Thompson..:
Hey Eddie! You in contact with Nick, Ed Husbands or any of the other guys from 5th?
|
Ed......:
I have seen and been in contact with a bunch of people from 7th platoon. Where I spent most of my time in Hanau, but haven't had any contact from the people from 5th. Like I said I'm still trying to put those names back with the faces. The only two people that stick out strongly in my memory are as we spent a lot of time together are Anthony Jones (still haven't found him) Jake Moore - SFC Bowler. I'm working at it I need to get the albums out of storage and work at it. 'Earwood' and him being kidnapped by the women in the rectory sticks out clearly. Awol for two days!
If you knew him - how could you hold that against him. I was team cheif at the time so talked to Bowler (laughed like hell) and let it slide. True story.
|
thompson:
I actually remember the Earwood incident..and you are correct, he was kinda the platoon hero for awhile there..I'd love to find Anthony Jones too. And please do dig out those albums! Most all of my pictures were lost during a pcs when transportation lost a couple of boxes. I was looking at some of the pics on this site..man, everyone looks sooooo young!
One incident that sticks out in my mind is an in-sector trip to plon, hurricane force winds, Felton ws the team chief and we had an assembly on a pier on Funf Sehen Kaserne. The wind about blew his narrow butt off the pier! We're doing the assembly and he's hanging onto an upright for dear life yelling at us to "Hurry the F#@* UP! lol
|
Ed...:
I'd Like to find Jones too. He was and is still one of my best friends and haven't had contact with him for many years.
|
Tony:
Remember the Yukon stove incident in Wildflicken? Flashed back in his face? Coulda been really , REALLY bad. But once we found out he was ok, just had a pink face except for his eye-lids, all we could do was laugh our asses off!
|
Larry:
Does any one remember the night at the 567th between 1977 & 1980 when the Black First Searent(don't remember his name) was found drunk asleep at the stearing wheel of his car, bumbper aainst the HQ building with the engine still running??
|
Tony:
I didn't get there til 81. But I can remember more than one similar incident over the years..lol. I remember someone, maybe Wild Bill Harris?, (Major Harris) coming out of Frenchies to find his car, a Mini Cooper, on top of the dumpster to keep him from driving it home!
|
G. Goudreau:
Seems like that 1SG was named 1SG Thompson, but I may be wrong. As I recall he was a hard man to please most of the time.
|
tony:
I remember hearing the name, but actually can't remember the name of the 1sg when I got there. Colley maybe?
|
Dan:
The 1SG name was Jackson.
|
Larry:
Gouldeau is the winner. It was 1st Sgt Thompson. Just need a brain jog to remember. The funny thing is his car engine was running
|
Peter, Webmaster:
I had a run-in with him at Frenchies one night. He wanted to pick a fight with me, He followed me all the way up to my room trying to get me to hit him.
I never did, but he sent me off to Wildflecken anyway. He probably thought he was punishing me, but I LOVED Wildflecken!! and I came back 6 months later and thanked him for sending me there.
|
Harry Gensmer:
1SG was his name, he went on to Fort Bragg, he was a hard man to get along with,
|
Harry Gensmer:
1SG Thompson was his name.

Well I'll be damned! Saw somebody in the airport the other day that reminded me of "Vinnie the Blade Sava" and that got me thinking about the old 567th. SO I googled it when I got home, and here y'all are!
Few will probably remember me, but I ws 5th plt, school, and company inspection team 81-85.

I wonder if the Kentucky Fried Chicken is still in operation on Lamboystrasse. And if it is, can you still buy heroin there in addition to your 10-piece family bucket? Just wondering... 
Don Reed:
they don't sell heroin to old people.
I can get you a good deal on some Geritol and Ensure.
|
G. Goudreau:
Yeah? What about a deal on a couple pallets of Depends? If I could get my mitts of a bunch of those I could take 'em down to Florida and peddle them off to Don Reed and his neighbors. I'm sure they need 'em and would appreciate the discount.
|
Don Reed:
now now just having a little fun at your expense.
If your coming to FL, bring Beer.
I'm still a jungster so I don't have any need for anything else, but beer is always good.
To beer or not to beer, that is the question
|
Peter, Webmaster:
When there is a question, the answer is ALWAYS beer!
|
G. Goudreau:
OK Don, beer it is! Go ahead and buy 15 or 20 cases and we'll converge on your house and guzzle those babies up. Just let us know when we should be there! Hahahahahaha.

Glad to see you ADMer's still communcating. Thats the only way I can find anyone that was a commo person in ADM. Doing fine here.. Are you guys in FA still going to get together???
G. Goudreau:
We had a commo sergeant at the 567th back in the early 80's named SSG Bruce Mahoney and he was a crackerjack! The guy really knew his business.
|
Dan:
Mahoney must of been my replacement. I was with the 567th 76 to 79'

Sorry. Last I knew of him was about 76-77 at the ADM School in Belvoir when he and his wife split.

Peter, Webmaster:
Hi. Thanks for stopping by
|
MSG Ret Charlie Bell:
Hey Frank, Long time. How have you been.
|
1SG Retired Tom Bizzell:
My favorite ADM Plt Sgt from the 567th :). Hope you are doing well! I will never forget when CSM Wilson inspected your room and complained about you having an "AWOL" bag in there.
Tom
|
G. Goudreau:
"AWOL Bag". Now THAT'S a blast from the past!!
|
Harry:
FRANK,GIVE ME A CALL WHEN YOU HAVE TIME.
|
Frank Kovak:
Charlie; I'm doing fine. Still working.
Harry, will call soon.
CSM Wilson. Had a number of run ins with him from 130th Bde to the Engineer School at Ft Leonardwood. Each time I had to do something stupid from TI'ing a truck being coded for the scrap yard and working off the 1st & 2nd echelon gigs to doing police call at Leonardwood with just NCOs while in dress greens (that did'nt go over too well with my Colonel).

Anyone knowing Ray Jeffus, I Just got this email from Gary Willis and thought friend would like to know:
Raymond (Jeffus) is in the hospital, he had a brain aneurism yesterday and is stable. The effect is the same as a stroke. He is still mentally sharp, but his speech is slurred and he will need surgery in about a month or so. I will keep you informed. He will not be answering E mail for a week or two, if not longer. You know Ray was not much for religion, but prayer can’t hurt.
barry barosay:
ha men, thats all it takes, even one helps.
|
Dan Trewartha:
Can't say the name is familiar, but he has my prayers. I had an anuryesm discovered during a routine CT of my sinus a couple of years ago. Went in and had a coiling done it and it seems ok now. Am recuprerating right noe from having 2 discs fused a coil put in and rods in my back. Second time in the last year for the back surgery crap. The anuresym was the scariest of then all so far. Wish him a speedy and good recovery !!!
|
Dave Hodgeboom 1SG Ret:
I heard from Ray a few months back. He called me at work. He was doing fine. We went thru ADM in 1970 together and stayed in touch on and off since. Sorry to hear about it. I'll keep him in my thoughts.
|
MSG Ret Charlie bell:
To identify Ray I should have included that Ray Jeffus, Gary Willis, Chip Lowe, Jake Moore, SFC Fugalsang, Buck Buchanan and myself all served together at the ADM School at Ft Belvoir 1973-1976

I'll race you Don..... this is what I'm driving at the moment  Your 'stang probobly wouldn't hold up to long on the autobahn @250 KPH
Don Dixon:
yea your prob right John, whats that like 150 mph. Maybe I get you in the 1/4 mile. Besides autobahn bout killed me once.
|
John:
about 155 mph, and it'll run at that speed all day. (2.3 Liter, 4 cyl., 215 HP). you would probably win in a 1/4 mile as that's not what this was built for, but as soon as curves are involved I'd catch you real quick. wish I still had my '70 Nova.......
|
Larry Dinnell:
Ok, enough talk! We'll set up a 2-race series. One drag race and one monster track race. Woo-hoo! 'Stang vs. the Beemer! We'll do camping over a weekend like we used to at Hockenheim. Good memories. Lots of beer.
|
John:
I go to Hockenheim at least once a year..... The Jim Clark Revival is my favorite event, lots of late 60s Muscle cars, Can Am cars. Have made the run from Hockenheim to Darmstadt in under 25 minutes with this car ;-)
|
john:
on a sunday afternoon after the race, in traffic......

I remember a 567th, um…. forget the Plt, 7th ? Ssgt Bruce or Thomas I believe. (82-84, been a long time) inspection that started with a callout from François kaserne, we then moved to our war reserve site (I live about 7,5k from those very bunkers)........ after checking the weapons bunkers and chow we went bowling
If I remember correctly we basically over ran the place…… drank bier, ran off the male MPs (the females stayed), and stole bowling balls…… no we’d never do that……
The run up to the exercise site in deuces the next day really hurt. eddie beckwith, morty and CSM Wallman may have been involved
Peter Endy:
mmMMmm, bier!!
|
Whitney Saunders:
Is this the SGT Stanley from 7th this is SPEC 4 Saunders AKA Shorty...
|
John Stanley:
nope...... was Spec4 @ 567th, made E-5 as a 12B in '85 @ 547th Engr BN though
|
Ed Beckwith:
Too funny I remember that night! Powers at be should have never left us in a position to access good times and beer. (we were technically still on alert status). I do rememeber the next days activities were miserable but all good times come with a price.
|
Ed Beckwith:
OBTW was that the night we were put up in the inflattable building and after time decided to see what would happen if we held both the inner and outer door open? Or was that some other miss adventure. (Oh to be 21 and stupid again)
Instead of 50 something and stupid. The recovery time is to long now-a-days and stuff is prone to breaking!

It's a long story but here it goes.We were all in the awesome 7TH PLT.We had 9 fireing teams at that time.Ole Charlie "P" was The PLT SGT.John Morgan was named "DOG". Thats another story!!!HA!HA!.Now the story,Nunn and the rest of us were having social hour at the time.One of our ole team chiefs named Chancelor put a rubber snake under Nunns bunk.When Nunn found it he went nuts.He went running through the tent and fell into one of the ole pot belly
stoves. well he grabbed the stove pipe,
he didn't get burrned bad but we had a guy who call doctor Ducan aka Clearnce.
He decieded to give Nunn first aid. You had to be there but, when Ducan got finished with Nunn he looked like a Mummy. I'am not sure if the burn hurt as bad as the bandages.The good ole days!!!!
Larry Dinnell:
Funny story! If you mean Clarence Dugan, he was my Team Chief and he was great! Charlie "P" was also awesome.
