I met my Husband at the Schlossle in 1966, he was stationed at Sheridan Kaserne in the 24th Infantry Division. I came to the US in 1968 and still miss my Hometown Augsburg
I lived on Sheridan Kaserne from '82 - '85 assigned to 1st OPS Battalion - 66th MI, worked on Gablingen as a Czech 98G. Sheridan was an open post then and we were on rotating shifts. When I wasn't on duty I was off post exploring Augsburg and the rest of Germany. Mostly on the trains. Brilliant time to be there - the Deutsche Mark was about 3.40DM to the dollar. I do remember when that Bowling Center went in - I lived in building 156 or 157 - it was the one right across from the center. Made it very easy to roll out of bed to get something to eat without having to trudge over to the mess hall. :-)
@@maryannarnaud6189 71 was my VN tour. I was lucky though. I went to VN where they had the worst beer. Then to Germany where the beer was awesome. I knew guys who were in Germany and then went to VN. Poor guys had to drink that horrible VN beer after having some of the best. Were you part of ASA? I was an MP.
Great to see my photos used in the Post. I appear in photos 2:14. I'm in first row on right (squatting). and at 2:42 in helmet. I still return to Augsburg when ever my wife and I travel to Germany. I gave Max over three hundred photos for the Amerika in Augsburg Group. I was there from Jan. 1956 to June 1958. Fox Co. 511th PIR and Delta Co. 505th Inf 11th ABN Part 1
My father was stationed there for three years, beginning 1953. I was born in Augsburg in 1954. I traveled back for a visit in 1998. When I got to the base, it was on the last day of closure. The soldiers still there were nice enough to let me walk through the base. It was bittersweet! My parents loved Augsburg. My father had another tour (3 total) in Berlin for 3 years, when the wall was up! (1963-1965).
this is so wonderful to know that those who lave left Augsburg are missed...that our memory is cherished and collected. that keeps history alive forever...BRAVO!
I remember that I was always a little jealous that as a German I could not shop in the PX. It is absolutely crazy if you think about it today. Now, if I want something I can only get in the US, I simply order it online. Maybe I'll have to wait a little longer, but I can get it. But back then... And I remember that trading with American soldiers was absolutely crazy when I was in the German army. The American soldiers even liked our dreaded EPA (~ MRE) which we usually hated with all our heart. In hindsight those were good times...
This is wonderful,i was station at Sheridan Kaserne 64 till 67 1/13 arty.Use to spend a lot of time in "The Last Chance" Augsburg was a great place to be stationed.
schnellguy I was stationed in Sheridan Kaserne from 63 to late 65 . I was in company B 24th s&t Batallion and worked as a truck driver. I remember the last chance where I often had my last bier. I also worked the main gate for about 7 months as a security guard. I ate at the consolidated mess hall that served most of the G, I.’s on the Kaserne. Nothing but great memories. I loved Augsburg, remember the cheap drink downtown called,” ratze Putz.? All the alcoholics drank that. Fritz was the German That used to pedal his bicycle around and had a cooler on the back filled with sandwiches. He would yell, “ Baloney ,Salami , ham@.cheese and luncha meat. Most sandwiches were 15 cents. Great memories!
I don't know if the people of Augsburg really miss me that much but- I very much enjoyed 2.5 years over there in the 1980's. "Last Chance" == Letze Arschloch.
Das Bowling Center war haesslich und fuer Verlierertypen die wollten nicht deutsche Maedels in Konigsbrunn kennenlernen. Ich wohnte in Gebaude 154 direkt gegenueber aber auch in einer Wohnung in Muenchen mit Mitwohnerinnen. Warum hat der Kameramann nicht herumgedreht? Was ist mit dem schonen Building 154 gewesen!! Those buildings were built to last 1000 years! They were beautiful. They left only the ugly Bowling Center standing? What is the real reason why the solid barracks buildings had to go?
I am glad they include Last Chance many fond memories when I was there from 90-92. Awesome beer and great people. I miss you Augsburg
I was on Sheridan 64 till 67,spent lots of that time in the "Last Chance".
