WILKIN BARRACKS
ARMY BARRACKS 
I was with Headquarters Battery 3rd Battalion 71st Artillery 32nd Army Air Defense Command assigned to the motor pool. I was a conscript and stationed there from August 1969 through September 1970. Many thanks to Vietnamization! It was great duty as far as duty goes in the Army! I still maintain close contact with Shelby Savoie, Ernie Betters and Mark Corwin. I have tried to locate John Sanchez, Mark McHale and George Allen without any success. We shared so many treasured memories!
I was an MP- SP4 stationed at Wilkin Barracks in Kornwestheim Germany in 1964 and 1965 with Company B – 385th MP Batallion. That was great duty and we made a lot of friends, lots of memories to share.
Our father was an MP in the same Company and Battalion in 57-59’. He always talked fondly of his time there.
I worked and lived at Wilkins in HHC 2/4 as personnel specialist for “Charlie Co” ( who were stationed in Wharton Barracks) from July 1971 to sometime in 1972 when HARPAC was formed and I moved to Wharton.
This is SFC Austin Retired US Army.
I was stationed at Flak Kasern 1080-1985
4th Trans Bn 32nd Trans Co.

Charles, thank you for your service to our country and all those we served with) I found our company picture (145 of us) HQ 2/4 INF from 1975 Hall, Davis, Brandt, Lettuli, Doc Stowers, Pryor, Steel, Powell, London, and the list goes on and on and on.. We were young warriors then. You are the first one that I’ve ever heard from in 48 years. Our Co drove the 68 Shelby mustang and he also drove a half track (a motorcycle and a track) Kornwesthiem was a beautiful place. I retired from public works for the City of Tacoma,Washington in 2014(253) 224-5935 feel free to give me a call sometime. I wonder whatever happened to some of these soldiers. On my second tour I was stationed in Schweinfurt and Baumholder and another 3 yrs at Fort Polk Louisiana and another 3 yrs Fort Lewis Washington. I got to go now but we’ll keep in touch as much as time and health will allow us.. ☮️
