One of many small posts the U.S. once had in Germany.

Were you Ground Radio or Wideband? I was there from 85-90 and they were both still there. Around 90 Werner was talking retirement.

In early 1973 I arrived at Wiesbaden Air Base in an Army Huey helicopter that had flown me there from Pirmasens. I got stationed at Camp Pieri and while there visited the WAB Recreation Center to attend bicycle information meetings. I finished my Army duty in Frankfurt, then worked for five years as a civilian at the motor pool at WAB. I drove school buses during the week and on some weekends I drove the shuttle bus that ran between WAB and Lindsey Air Station. Up until June 1976 the motor pool was an Air Force facility. Then it became an Army facility as part of a major defense re-organization which caused the Air Force to move to Ramstein. During my employment, the motor pool was the paved area along the eastern edge of WAB, immediately southeast of the large building labeled "Wiesbaden DFAC" (dining facility). In the 1970s, there was no parking garage there: it was all one big parking lot filled mostly with buses. The dining facility building had earlier been a warehouse. During the Arab oil embargo of 1973-4, the German government, in an effort to save gasoline, restricted who could drive. Buses were not subject to the restriction. I can remember driving from Hainerberg toward the Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof on a street devoid of cars and trucks. It was a bizarre sight. Nice work and nice memories.

My experience with LAS involves clubs and buses. LAS is the place where I got my first taste of an audio club or photo club and it's one the places that I later, as a civilian bus driver, delivered dependent kids to school. In early 1972, when I arrived in Germany as an Army specialist, I got assigned to the 563rd Ordnance Company at Camp Pieri. I soon heard about audio and photo clubs and visited the club at LAS, which was in the basement of a building. After getting out of the Army, I worked for five years at the motor pool at Wiesbaden Air Base (now Wiesbaden Army Air Field or Clay Kaserne). I drove school buses Monday through Friday, delivering kids to LAS (and the high school at Hainerberg) and picking them up for the ride home. On some weekends I drove the shuttle bus between LAS and WAB. Up to mid-76, the buses were blue Air Force vehicles. After that they were Army green. If you were a student at either school from March '73 through April '78, you probably had me as a bus driver on one or more occasions. Nice memories.

I was stationed at LAS from 73-76 USAFE Procurement Center. We moved over from WAB in 73

Hey Kenya what exactly do you mean by strange phenomena? I lived there as student.. and yeah there was something strange m

I worked with both these guys from81-83. Werner was my boss and mentor, lot's of great memories on the road with these men.

I was stationed there in 1985. experienced very strange phenomena that I have rarely spoken of. can anyone related?

My dad was stationed there from 1970 to 74, SSGT Curtis Gibbs. I was born at Weisbadan Hospital in May 1971.

no just because you are American doesn't allow you to shop on post. you have to be an id card holder in order to shop at the px, so either you have to be a military active duty member, family member enrolled in deers or a government service agent.

Assigned to the 1836 EIS on Lindsay AS in Wiesbaden from 1977 to 1981. TDY 10 months out of each year to numerous countries in Europe & the near east. Very stressful for me and my young family. We survived however. Germany is beautiful. Loved my co-workers, especially Fritz and Werner, a couple of crazy Germans. Richard Neese USAF E7 Ret..

Was stationed at Camp Pieri from 1960-1963 with an Air Force detachment. We ate our mid-night meals at Lindsey Air Station and went there when they had steak for dinner. The CP chow hall never had steak during my 3 years there. In all, it was good duty. Wiesbaden had to be a best place to be stationed in Germany.

John, I was there Jan 68 - Dec 69. Hq USAFE Plans, worked for Gen Sweat. spent a lot of time at the Amelia hotel...and worked at the Rocker Club part time.

Bill...I was stationed there Jan 68 - Dec 69 HqUSAFE Planning dept.

I was stationed there 88 - 91 with the 1836 EIG. Lived in B-19, when I was there, always TDY.

My dad worked on Lindsay. SMSGT Floyd Pollard.....we left May 1971.

I was going to 3rd grade at Lindsay when you were born there.
