Greetings:
After completing Basic Combat Training at Fort Lewis Washington, and Signal School at Fort Gordon, Georgia, my very first permanent duty station was Company "A", 11th Air Defense Signal Battalion, 32d Army Air Defense Command at Kleber Kaserne in Kaiserslautern, Germany.
For most of the time, I was TDY to Team A-2 at Spangdahlem Air Force Base.
Folks, when you're a private in the United States Army and you get stationed on an Air Force base, it's like you died and went to Heaven!
Compared to regular Army life, being on an Air Force base is like being on vacation.
This was back in 1968.
I understand that the Army has changed a lot since then.
Thank you.
