Hey, for any 2-37 AR folks who read these comments and/or replies … I am not an alumni of 2-37; however, I was from a brother/sister Battalion, 1-37 in ‘ye olde Katterbach. 1-37 and 2-37 both are active with 1AD in El Paso, at Fort Bliss, TX. All 4 Battalions of the 37th have an annual reunion … so you may be able to locate some of your comrades you worked with back when, at Ferris! Check out courageconquers.com (I believe), sign up, and get the reunion news.

If you were there 1981 to 1982 then we were there at the same time. I was at the Dispensary for almost a year, afterwards I was with SPC 5 Henry Pulley attached to Bravo company we ran the AIDS station at Bravo 2/37 I’m not good with names! Anyway Erlangen was the place didn’t realized that until I PCS to Fort Hood.
You were in HHC 2/37 ? I was there from late 1980 until December 1982 Medic, other medics that were there Valentin, Pulley, Hernandez, Scott. first Sargent Tumi ?
I was stationed in Farris barracks in B 2/37 during 1982 to 1983. Erlangen was a special place to be stationed. I was a Loader, Driver, on the M60 A3 i mostly loved driving that 60 ton beast i was very good as a loader so good that one gunnery i helped 3 tanks to qualify in one night firing. The soldier’s that I served with on the M60 A3 Tanks were the greatest soldier’s that I ever served with. I would gladly serve with them again. Staying in those WW11 barracks was a great experience so full of history. From battalion commander to top sergeant to platoon sergeant. I had the great privilege of having the greatest leaders a man could ask for. I will hold my memories of Ferris Barracks close to my heart.
Rev. Willie , i also was station at Farris barracks i was in A company 2/37 1 armor in Erlangen Germany i was a driver in a M60A1 tank my tank was tango 25 but i was station in 1970/ 1972 i also pull NATO guard i do remember those days i miss the men i served with i do talk with one man 1 or 2 times a month , then i was allowed with twenty other men to go over to east Germany with Russian guards for one week it was a great experience to have.James D PONT
In 1972 I enlisted to avoid being drafted, wanted to drive trucks in Germany. Got to my PDS, my CO said he was fresh outta trucks but he had plenty of tanks. I guess he figured 64C20-30 was close enough of an MOS. As anyone who was there in 1972 knows all about shortages of everything, so my tank didn’t run and at the last Hoenfels it was towed to the firing line. So one Saturday I was sitting in the NCO club even though I was only a Spe.4, and I struck up a conversation with this guy, find out he’s from Oakland and I’m from SF, anyhow… he was also the NCOIC of the post UP’s (unit police) , to make a long story short. That’s where I finished my service….. the Munich Olympics of ’72 were somethin’ else though, but That’s another story.
Hello I served in Erlangen barracks in the years 1970 / 1972 my time was hard but it was outstanding I leaned to be a man I can thank the Army for this . But most of all I miss my times and the great men I serve with I only talk with one man over the years it’s very hard to fine the men I serve with i believe it’s because we are all in our 70’s and some may be deceased. I was a M60A1 tank driver my tank was tanko 25 , great tank, I would love to find my old team mates. Special man LT. BASS what a leader and friend he help me a so much.
