    I was assigned to the 546th Ord. Co. from May 1963 to Sept 1965. I believe the 546th has been disbanned. The most exciting time was Tent City and the 8th Army Rifle and Pistol Matches. I was on the Battalion Pistol Team. Seperated in 1965.

    I was assigned to the 57th Ord Bde, Sep. to Dec. 1965. After the football season was over, was transferred to the 501st Ord/Ammo Co., (Gerszewski Barracks) at Karlsruhe, Dec 1965 to May 1966. Then I was levied back to the States and reassigned as Permanent Party, Ft. Gordon, GA until I ETS'd in Feb 1968.

    To F. Dehmer, and Richard Kowalski, did either of you know my mom, Judie Hume? She was a civilian and worked in recreation. I know she was both in Worms and Kaiserslautern from 1962-1964. She recently passed and I was looking through her old photos. She looked so marvelously happy then and I was wondering if anyone could share some memories from that time period. I miss her so much. Thank you! Judie's daughter, Cara

    I stand corrected. My mom, Judie Hume, worked in Special Services, not recreation. Thank you for your time.

    Was in 8th Maint Bln, ROB, 1967 thru 1968. Would like to know how to get a shoulder patch from that era. COMZ EUR. Probably impossible. But you never know. Will check back in later.

    Arrived in April 1963 assigned to the 558th Arty Vehicle Park (AVP#2) ROB. 1965 assigned to 546th Ord Co ROB - then to Co B 66th Maintenance Bn Pulaski. Changed to Aviation MOS in 1966. Went back to visit ROB and K-Town in 1993 as a military (Army Guard) side trip while on Annual Training in Belgium, not a lot of major changes. Good memories.
