Hey Bikeman,
You have the right company, just the wrong era. I was stationed with 8th ordnance during the cold war (1962 to 1965). We were attached to the 11th ACR before it went to Viet Nam. I was an Ordnance turret, artillery and small arms guy. At that time, the 11th ACR was responsible for patrolling the Czech border in the southern region of Germany. I was RA and got out just as VN was starting up. Duty was good in Bavaria and my timing was impeccable. I put a website together a year or so ago to see if any of my old buddies were still out there. 50 years us a long time and many have passed on. I have accounted for about 30 guys so far. You can check it out here: www.8thordnance.com. Are you still in the service?
