ARMY BARRACKS 
Stationed there from 1972 to 1974. Met alot of great dudes and are still in touch with a few of them. The concerts in Frankfurt and other places were the best. I seen great bands in their prime. Noting and no bands today will ever touch them. And same with the music…which stands on its own forever. The food outside of base was dynamite. Whether it was in Nierstien or Oppenheim or other cities. And the German Wine and the Wine fests were the best.
Yes I couldn’t agree with you more Anderson Barracks was great duty. When I left Anderson Barracks in April of ’85 I did a ITT inner theater transfer (in country) I reenlisted to stay in Germany and I went to camp Eshbourne in Frankfurt. Much bigger and exciting community but it didn’t have the togetherness as it did in Anderson Barracks. The same thing as when I came back in 1988 and I went to Aschaffenburg, Germany. Nothing was like the Heim Nothing 👍
THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY… I TOO EXTENDED MY TOUR AND STAYED ANOTHER YEAR, BECAUSE I ENLISTED FOR 2 YEARS AND I DIDN’T WANT TO COME HOME AND HAVE TO PULL RESERVE DUTY. SO BY ME EXTENDING ANOTHER YEAR, I DID NOT HAVE TO DO THE RESERVES. TECHNICALLY WE ALL HAVE 6 YEARS, 3 ACTIVE AND 3 INACTIVE AT THE TIME. BECAUSE AFTER 6 YEARS, I RECEIVED MY FULL DISCHARGE PAPERS. SO I WAS HAPPY, NOT TO PULL RESERVE DUTY. I DIDN’T WANT TO BE A PART TIME SOLDIER. I WAS IN ASCHAFFENBURG FOR A WEEKEND HANGOUT AND I DUG THE CITY, ITS A COOL PLACE. HEIDELBERG WAS ANOTHER DYNAMITE AND BEAUTIFUL CITY TO BE IN. TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS
