1988-1992 Schwaebisch Hall Germany, Cyprus, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq. I ETS'd in Nov 1992 to work for DynCorp STIR in Stutgart. Then I went to 70th Trans still for DynCorp. In Dec 1998 I transfered to F co 1/160th SOAR(A) Ft Campbell Ky and still DynCorp. I left Germany because the U.S Army there said I was an ordinary resident and I was too Germanized. Screw them I came here and bought a house with alot of land and I'm looking to join ever good ol' bubba redneck club I can find. I am still married to Dagmar my german wife. We have two children Theresa 8 and Alex 6. Dagmar works as a substitute teacher for the school system here. I mess with serveral hobbies with the two main ones are model trains and raising Siberian Huskies. No I am not going on an Iditarod anytime soon. If anyone wants to say hello, I'll write back, It may not be right away but I'll write.

February1989 to February 1992, Cyprus, Saudi, Turkey, (been there done that ) I got married two days after leaving active duty to a terrific younger gal. I hired on with DynCorp and returned to Stuttgart Germany two weeks after my ETS. I am still employed with DynCorp here in Savannah, Georgia at Hunter Army Airfield. I rebuilt a 1972 BMW 2002 in Germany and actually imported the car to the States when we returned in 1995. I spend a great deal of time now running my Financial services business called Primerica. I am an independent agent transacting business in Life Insurance, Mortgages, Mutual funds. Our basic concept is to help people get out of debt and invest for a comfortable retirement. I hope to be fulltime in this business in the near future.   I still race go karts and like to work on cars as much as possible. My daughters, Sara and Shannon are 16 & 14years of age now. They live with their Mother in Daytona Beach, Florida. I invite all the former C co. 6/159th friends to e mail me and stay in touch.

1990-1992 Schwaebisch Hall Germany,  Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq ( Desert Storm & Provide Comfort ) I retired in 1995 at Ft. Carson, Colorado... then returned to Clarksville, Tn ( home of the 101st, Ft. Campbell, Ky ) and have been working as a Realtor since.

Sep '90 - Sep '92:  Germany, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iraq In '92 I pcs'd to Campbell and served in B/5/101st.  Went to Somalia and actually received an air medal that wasn't a blanket award for a change!  I ets'd in early '96 and moved to Phoenix, AZ. After a failed truck-accessory business experience in '97, I decided to go back to school full time.  So, here I am at Arizona State University working on a second degree in Geographical Information Systems; the first was in Anthropology.  It's funny how my travels in the military influenced me to pursue degrees related to human cultures and geography. I am looking forward to hearing what everyone has been up to for the last 10 years.  Thanks goes out to Paul Scott for creating this website.  Great idea!

 

Paul Scott	12-30-01	RatKwik454@charter.net
1990 - 93 Germany, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iraq ETS'd from Ft. Campbell, KY in 1995 and stuck around Clarksville, TN.  Worked for Boeing/Sikorsky Acft Support (BSAS) for a year which gave me my first taste of "contract maintenance".  After that layoff I went back to school and got my Realtor License and sold houses for the next 4 years.  What a tough lifestyle to live!  It was good though....I met allot of nice people & stumbled across some great deals on Rental Properties.  But now I'm back working on H-60's again with DynCorp at the 160th SOAR w/Worley.  I see Tony Taylor, Eric Betancourt, Tim Overbey & Hubbard (Red) on a daily basis. I'm married once again & have 3 girls and a nice house with 3 car dreamshop in the back.  I'm here to stay.  Somewhere along the way I managed to pick up a few computer skills which will hopefully help me keep this Web site going for all of us.  Drop me a line "y'all"! (new word I've picked up down here in the south! HA!)

Jan '89-Mar '93 Cyprus, Saudi, Turkey, Iraq...... Hello everyone. This is a great web site. My thanks goes out to Paul for putting this great idea together. I left Germany in 93 with my BS degree in hand enroute to the Maintenance course at VA. followed by an assignment to Panama. There I ran into Rodney Keyes. I got accepted to the US Naval Test Pilot School in April '95, a month after my new baby daughter Natalia was born. Life was very exciting and going great. After TPS I went to Rucker for a three year assignment as a test pilot. Then came Korea and now Savannah GA as a MI RC-12 Pilot. I've been in Kuwait for most of the year and should deploy out of here in the summer. It's great to read what everyone has been doing and I would love to hear from you. I know Lucy would also. Take care every body.

Brent McCulloch	2-2-02	Dapster23@aol.com
June 1985 to Oct 1988 This is a fantastic idea my hat off to you who made this site.  I was an IP at Schwabisch Hall during my tour.  We had our second son there so I guess he is an honorary German. Had a great time and started the NVG program while there.  We did numerous missions in country and several out of country. The Cyprus mission was spooling up just as I was PCS'ing to Ft. Campbell.  We did training for it such as an all expense paid trip back to the states for Dunker training.  While at Campbell I was assigned to C Co. 160th SOAR.  As a 60 IP was in at the beginning of the DAP program which is the armed Blackhawk. That has to be the most amazing mission I have ever had the pleasure of doing. I also lost alot of friends there including all the ones involved in the Somilia mission. I retired from the Army after 24 years of service in June 1999.  I am now flying the Russian Helos (Mi2/8/17/24) out of El Paso TX as an aggressor pilot do alot down at JRTC Ft. Polk and also in Nellis AFB Las Vegas doing air to air against fighters and also numerous other locations around the country.  Thanks for the site and if anyone needs a job send me an email.  Hopefully in the near future I might be moving to Huntsville for a different pace of life but we will see.  Thanks again!!!

1985-87-- Maintenance Officer, 87-88 BDE S-1, 1988-1989Commander C/6-159th WOW!  Congratulations on a great web site! WAR EAGLES! I retired after 20 years in 1995 and flew corporate for about a year and a half. Didn't really like the type of flying I was doing, especially after the excitement of the Army missions. Went back into training and got a job as a C-26 instructor at Flight Safety in  San Antonio, Texas. Was promoted to Center Manager 3 years ago and love the challenge!  Let's use this vehicle to find the rest of the WAR EAGLES!

Darrin Pelham	2-2-02	jedch47@yahoo.com
'89-'91 Germany, Cyprus (oops we weren't there) Saudi, Kuwait, Iraq Ah the life of Darrin. After the Hall I pcs'd not by choice to Ft. Benning and got out of the army and returned to Germany. I worked for aafes for a while where I saw a few people from the hall, then I got picked up by Dyna and have worked for them since. I got married and had 3 kids that are the loves of my life. But now I am divorced and only get to see them on the weekends (dads always get screwed). I am in Savannah Ga. with Jimmy and like it except for the heat. Going to school to become a paramedic and possibly change careers. And thats the rest of the story.

I left active duty in '93 after three years at the Embassy and the great missions.  I moved to Auburn, AL. and joined the Reserves serving in the 6-159 Avn Regt at FT.

I'm still in Auburn living on a farm just outside of town; with a wife, lots of kids, dogs, horses etc.  I own a small FBO in Tallassee, AL. and manage to stay fairly busy and flying as much as possible. I've been in regular contact with many of the old guys from the 203rd from '85-'88 and then in the BAB '90-'93.  I have many pictures and hope to post them soon. Hope all of you are well.  Take care and keep up the good work. Jim  Cook

Aug '91 thru Aug '97  OPC, OPC, and a little more OPC.  29 months of it!! After I left the Hall in '93 when we moved to (shudder) Giebelstadt, I got married to a german and decided to stick around for a while. Aug '97 I PCS'd to (against my will) the land of the frozen chosen... Ft Drum, NY. After three winters there it was time to go, so I reenlisted for Ft. Campbell (sans wife). So here I sit at Ft Campbell, getting to look at Tony Taylor's smiling (yeah right) face every day. To all you former War Eagles out there... be safe, fly safe and STAY safe!!!

Frank Eisenstaedt (CW4, US CAV, RET)	2-6-02	FEISEN53@AOL.COM
1985 - 1988 I have to confess, I never served with the 203rd. I was a "Hooker" with "Big Windy". I also served as the Airfield Commander from 2/87 - 4/88. That is when I met alot of Blackhawk pilots from the 203rd (Jim C., Ampy and Brent Mc., just to mention a few) Hey, Brent, my first flight in a UH-60 was with you. I gave an instrument eval from the back. I loved it so much, that after I left the Hall ( and 11 years as a "Hooker") I went to Rucker for a transition. Spent my last 8 years in "Hawks". 7th ID (FT. ORD) and the 2/6 CAV in Illesheim, GE. I retired in 1996 after 23 years and now live in Dallas, TX. I work for Bombardier Aerospace.

1986-1992 Schwabisch Hall Germany, Morocco, Denmark, Cyprus, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Desert Storm/Shield I went to college after I got out of the military and got my Bachelors in Business Management with a concentration in Accounting. I worked for a bank called USTrust for a few years. During my time at USTrust I started in Recon but then got transferred to reporting where I prepared parts of the 10Ks and 10Qs. At nights and weekends I attended school at Northeastern and completed the Computer Systems Specialist program there. The bank was bought by Citizen bank and I left to work for Sungard as a Fortran programmer and Webmaster. I then got a Job with Vitel Software as a Visual basic and Crystal Reports programmer. I was still there doing pretty well until this latest market decline. Now I work as a contractor Designing Databases, VB front ends and Reporting packages at least until the market improves and I find full time work. I have a lot of hobbies that take up most of my time. The most important to me is Hang gliding which I do as often as possible, I also Rock climb, Kayak, Wind surf and Wake board when ever I have time. I got married right after the military to the German girl I was seeing over there. It only lasted about a year, she was very homesick and I was very busy. I got married again a year ago and things are going very well, we are as different as can be possible but we seem to compliment each other very nicely. We bought a house on Webster Lake in Massachusetts and I have been working very hard to fix it up. If any one is ever in the neighborhood feel free to send me an E-mail and drop in for a visit.

March 1989 to April 1992,  Schwaebisch Hall (back when it was hard) Three cheers to Paul Scott and Van Slice for setting up this site.  Second Flight still leading the way!  Left the Hall and went to Ft Belvoir till July 1995.  Finished the UH60 IP Course (much to Chris Downey's and Kevin Hornby's horror) enroute to Korea.  Got the 2 for 1 deal in 2nd ID and spent part of the year with 1/2 Attack and finished with 2/2 AVN.  Went to Ft Hood in 1997 with 4th ID where I got picked up for fixed wing in 1999.  I've been here in Wiesbaden flying guardrail with 1st MI BN since.  Nancy is doing great and still making trouble along with our two wonderful daughters.  We've been back to visit Dolan Barracks a couple times this tour and are saddened at each visit to see so much of our old haunts, filled with our memories torn down.  There is really not much left standing.  War Eagles!

Cindy (Knop) Nielsen	2-13-02	cin_dylou@yahoo.com
Jul 87 - Jul 89, Schaebisch Hall, Cyprus This is awesome!!! I left the Hall for Ft Huachuca working with EH-60's. Missed the Saudi because of it but worked a few weekends getting Arab linguists through a crash coarse on the EH. I missed Germany so bad I reenlisted to go back and landed in an Attack Bn in Hanau. Not a bad place, only 3 aircraft and alot of flying. Someone had to pick up the flight crew after the Apache PL'd! Went to Somalia in the first wave after the Marines for 2 months until Ft Drum could get there. Put in my packet for Maintenance Warrant as I left Germany for Ft Carson. Can you believe I got selected? I pinned in 95 and went to Ft Campbell as the PC officer in 50th Medevac. I came back to Germany (can't get enough of this place) in 98 and have been here in Katterbach since. I went to Kosovo 99-00 and will be going back the end of this year. I will be pinning CW3 next month. Its great seeing all the names of folks I never thought to see again. Mr. Miller you and Maj McKissack were my inspiration!  to become a Maintenance Tech. Thanks. Hope to hear from you all.

CW4 Rex Miller	2-18-02	rmiller1987@kscable.com
89-92, BAB, ODS, OPC Hello all! Great Web site. Looking back I always thought C Co. 6th, 159th was a great unit (the people) and I guess others think the the same by creating this site. I participated in all the missions as a PC/UT and ran Ops for OPC. I came out of Turkey just in time to clear, left in May 92 went to the States and 17 days later wound up in Kuwait for six months, attended the UH60 IPC then later the IFE crs. Of course the deployments never ended. Went back to Germany in 95 (Bosnia of course). From there, back to the States and am now the BN SIP in 2-2 Avn, 2ID, Korea. Ran into Downey over here. Hasn't changed a bit. I will return to Ft. Riley, Ks to a Bde SP job with the ACRC and retire, hopefully (stop loss Dec 02). I am still married to Karen and she is doing great! I have two wonderful bird dogs and love to hunt and fish. Great to here from everyone,(Hi Mick, Steve, Keith) Rex

 

LTC Laverm "Bullett" Young	2-19-02	youngav2@charter.net
Served as the Battalion S-3 during C-6 move from Schwab Hall to Geibelstadt.  Took command of C-6 upon the battalions return from Somalia.  Served as the commanding officer from Jun 1993 until Jun 1994.  Serving with the outstanding men and women of the unit was without a doubt the high point of my career.  It was also my low point as well.  I was in Turkey flying with our Eagle Flt Det when the F-15 shot down our UH-60's.  After the incident, the Bde Cdr COL Tom Hayes had the great wisdom to put the company back in action by assigning us the mission to support the 100th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion.  C-6 deployed (15 UH-60's, 5 Medevac Hawks, the USAREUR CinC Hawk, and six UH-60's from A Co) as the Assault Helo Task Force HQ.  We deployed 24 UH-60's in one formation to Normandy, France from 15 May until 14 June. Departed Germany in 94 for CGSC.  After CGSC, assigned to FORSCOM as an ARMS Team Chief.  Took command of 12th Avn Bn (Executive Flight Battalion), Ft Belvoir VA.  After command served my time in the building on the Joint Staff.  I am now enjoying myself at the Air Force War College at Maxwell, AFB.  This has been a great assignment for the family.  My hats off to everyone involved with setting up this venture.  What a great effort.  Thanks, Bullett

TIM OVERBEY	2-23-02	stoverbey@hotmail.com
MAY 94 - MAY 98, Besides 3 rotations to OPC, 1 rotation OJE, and 1 OJG. Obviously, from reading about everyone else on here I guess I'm the young buck.  I did enjoy my time at C6, being deployed will make 4 years screem by. I got married to a German and PCS'd to Ft. Campbell in May of 98.  My wife and I had a son on May 2 2000, Connor, and we absolutely love it here.  The one thing I can say is that I do miss the old days.  I hope all of you take care and fly safe.

Mary Norrito-Koller	2-27-02	nokoller@t-online.de
I worked at Merchants Bank , Dolan Barracks in Customer Service 1987-1993 and was also an on-call Dietitian for the health clinic (as a Red Cross Volunteer). I recognize many names, but it's very hard to remember the faces.  After the base closed I stayed here as I am married to a German.  I come from New York, Long Island, but have lived in Germany since 1986 and am still here in Schwaebisch Hall.  My husband and I have two boys (6 years old and 2 years old). The base has changed dramatically (as Mickey Ferguson mentioned) and it is depressing.  But some of the old buildings are still there and have been nicely renovated. If you ever do come back to visit, you must go to the Haellisch-Fraenkisches Museum in town as George and Doris Finley have helped put together a whole section dedicated to the Dolan Barracks.  You will recognize many people and artifacts there.  That will bring back some nice memories for you!  Viele Grusse aus Schwaebisch Hall!

George Finley	5-10-02	georgefinley@prodigy.net
I was stationed at good ole Dolan Barracks twice: 1961-64 with the Artillery and 1980-83 as Deputy Sub Community Commander. I retired in 1983 at DB. We built a home/gallery/studio in Gnadental near by. There I did the caricature of the Black Hawk in 1986 with plenty of great help from Ampy (Hi Ampy!) and many others. it was great fun to do. Later I painted "Eagle Flight" to commemorate the tragic shoot down in Northern Iraq as well as several other commemoratives. In 1998 we moved to Boston where I paint and Doris is working on her bachelor's degree. Our two sons are doing well. One works with a soft ware firm in Germany and the other is an engineer in Florida. Recently, Doris and I  attended an every 2 year reunion in Atlanta of those who I served with at Dolan Barracks in the '60's. DB was a treasured place for many. Great to read the names of those I know and to hear what you are doing. Mary (Hi Mary!) mentioned the DB display at the Schwaebisch Hall city museum. Please do visit it to see how you fit in with the rest of the rich history of Schwaebisch Hall. You all are remembered fondly. Doris and I wish you all much health and happiness!

Aug '90-Aug '92  Maintenance, Crewchief:Desert Storm, Turkey, Iraq Schwaebisch Hall was my first assignment, cut my teeth on crewing a Hawk in the Desert as a PFC(I think the command was preparing to lose some birds)with VanSlice, I guess we did a good enough job that they kept us on.  If I can find my way to a good scanner I will send in some pictures from the desert and Turkey/Iraq. After leaving the Hall I PCS'd to Ft Drum(92-97)I Met my wonderful wife, Tracey, there, we now have 2 beautiful daughters(1 and 4)Worked as a crewchief for a couple of years, and a TI in Somolia(second day as an E-5 pulling KP because it was my turn on the roster) and Haiti(missing out on the good missions as a TI) In '97 I went, kicking and screaming, to recruiting land for 3 years in upstate New York, I didn't get fired so I must have done a decent job, I didn't get fired.  I decided it was time for a break so I went to the home of the school house, that was a mistake, I was asigned to BNCOC as an Small Group Leader, I put some hours in there.  I put my packet in for OCS while there and was picked up for Transportation, and follow on assignment back at Ft Drum.  I've been in a school for 9 months now, I'm read to get back to work as part of the Frozen chosen.  I look forward to hearing from everyone.

Served as IP/SP in Schwaebisch Hall/BAB from January 1987 to January 1990 with 203rd and later C/6/159th Excellent Job Paul.  After leaving the Hall, I realized some of the best times of my life and career were spent with this unit and more importantly the soldiers that made it all fun.  Our only daughter was born in the Krankenhaus at Schwab Hall.  I left Dolan Barracks in Jan 1990 to join the 1st CAV at FT Hood in time to deploy to Saudi as an EH-60 IP.  Linked up with C/6 a couple of times before the ground war kicked off.  Thanks (names withheld to protect the guily) for the APU, saved my bacon buds.  PCS'd back to Europe to the 236th MED at Landstuhl where I returned to the Hall after it closed.  Very different, the locals wished we had stayed.  East Germans were housed in our old quarters.  Arrived Christmas Eve 1995 with Rex Miller in Bosnia to kick off that all expense paid visit to that Hotel California.  Retired at Ft Knox Jan 2000 evaluating the NG and Reserves and doing some IP/IE work for 50th MED. We still live near Ft Knox where Jennifer starts High School next y! ear and Denise is well.  I work for UPS airlines in Louisville training DC8 flight crews.  Thanks again Paul - Kudos

Schwabich Hall, Germany 1989-1991 Hey Guys! Great to see someone finally set something up for us! I have been looking for references to 6/159th ever since the Internet came to be. After having fun with you guys I got to come to the States, and recieved a wake-up call. The Army isn't as much fun stateside as it is overseas. I got stationed at Ft Stewart/Hunter Army Airfield and quickly made a bad name for myself with the new 1st Sgt (go figure)! After Leaving military service I had several jobs, but the 1 I seem to do the best at is fixing computers. So I live in the Savannah, GA area working as a Contractor for a local technology company. I'm married (almost 10 years this December) and I have a 6 yr old boy. I'm not as wild as I used to be, but I guess having children will do that to you. I will say, the most fun I ever had was with you guys. Even the bad times (the cold, the wet, the heat, the sand) all seem somehow better now. I guess it was because we were stuck with each other. I guess misery loves company, eh? Take care! Drop me an e-mail! blakf2001@yahoo.com is the address! Ron

After PCS'ing Aug.'94 from Giebalstadt to Ft. Hood, Tx., I obtained my A&P license prior to ETS'ing in Feb. '96. Life sucked there because the Army pay sucked and the promotion points never left the 798 mark for the whole year that I was on promotable status. So since I received my A&P, I opted to get out and flushed the idea of going green to gold. (Not to mention the "Frau" wanted me out really bad). So we returned to Germany while I was on terminal leave and I got picked-up by DynCorp in Mannheim and I'm there as of today. During that time, I've seen many old familiar faces. I was working with Worley, Pelham & Craig Martin, Jimmy Prater came back and performed respirator training for us, Yatkowski has buzzed through the hanger, Bill Henry, Joe Henson, I ran into Mr. Fitzgerald in Tuzla, Bosnia this past October, and Chris Downey rolled through here while he was still here in Germany. I'm still married to Bettina (going on 10 years) and we have a 9 year old daughter and 4 y! ear old son. I've set my priorities on returning to Texas, but in the meantime, I'm about to attend a Fiber Optics Technician course and pursue my Bachelor's in Professional Aeronautics with Embry Riddle. Cudos to Paul Scott on this website, I intend to contact most of you guys whenever I find the time. I'm glad to hear everyone's doing well. (except for Jed; sorry to hear about the divorce)

'90-'92 Plt Ldr, Ops Guy, and XO during BAB, Desert Storm and Provide Comfort Great Site Paul!!! After we moved the unit to Gieb and closed down Schwab Hall, I went to Ft Drum where I was reaquainted with LTC Forshag as one of his company commanders. We spent 5 months in a Haitian cest pool with Retsae, Billy Bales, Steve Yatkowski, and Rick Link who were all in the Benning Medivac.  After 2 years of command they moved me to a staff job that sucked.  I resigned and began a new life in consulting.  Shantelle (Johnson) and I live in Atlanta with our three boys (2, 4, and 6).  If you are ever in town please call us (678)445-1486.  My most fond memories of Schwab Hall; 1) cook from Crailshiem punching Major Barber at a basketball game, 2) showing Downey how to levitate after making a move on my British chick in Cyprus, 3) Susie Danielson's attack on Iran while trying to find Iraq, 4) Jim Clark and Retsae Miller marching on LTC Johnson's staff during the shutdown ceremony of his fictional battalion, 5) combat volleyball, all-nite stick ball games, and 'She! en-Kebabs in Cyprus, 6) Bruce Bramblett reporting 200 rounds expended during routine training flight on de-brief sheet in Saudi (soon thereafter; Clark to Forshag - "Sir, I told Lieutenant Mitchell not to do it.  I'll go get him right away, Sir.), 7) Fusilier's (i think) attack with indirect machine gun fire on 6-6 Cav in Saudi, 8) Bale's and Ferguson's attempted murder of me with a rescue hoist in Cyprus, 9) SFC Ervin's loss of all facial hair after a small stove heater incident, and 10) Blinky's fermented Saudi brew.

1991-1993, the short tour at "The Hall", OPC I was lucky enough to spend most of my German tour in Turkey/Iraq with the OPC mission.  Miss spending the days dodging mountains with Keith Lynch, dropping supplies on the PKK with Suzie Danielson, going inverted enroute to Lyon France for the Olympics, and having an all out good time with some of the best in Army Aviation.  I left The Hall, 6 months after C Co moved to Giebelstadt in '93.  I got out of the Army, finished all my fixed wing ratings, Bachelors degree and found work flying for Fairchild Aircraft in San Antonio TX.  After two years of that, I was hired by Sky West Airlines and flew the west coast in turbo-props and jets.  I spent about five years there before I was finally hired at American Airlines.  Oh yeah, have been in a couple of Nat'l Guard and Reserve units too so that I could afford to eat during the regional years...Am now flying a C-12 with the Utah Army Guard in Salt Lake City, where my wife and I have finally put down roots.  If in town please call, 801-475-0278 and let us show you what Utah has to offer.  I'm based in Dallas-Ft Worth with the airlines and am always in the terminal looking for familiar faces.  Hope to see you all one day soon.
