Any groups here in Schweinfurt area? I just transferred here from Virginia

This does not answer your question, but I just wanted to comment. I went to Schweinfurt regularly when I was stationed in Bad Kissingen from 1988-90. I was with G Troop, 2-11th ACR before they left Daley Barracks. I bought my wife's engagement ring in the PX there. That was my first duty station, but I retired out of Ft Richardson, AK. Sorry for the ramble, it got me thinking back.

I expect to be not too far away from Schweinfurt when I visit Furth, near Nuremberg. My trip is planned for 12th to 15th December.

Good Afternoon,

Any groups that get together or have kilt nights
Bad Kissigen was closed along with Kitzengen and Wurzburg and Fulda
Germany is becomming a smaller place for Soldiers Stationed here

Yes, there were many closings after I left. I was aware of them , though, as I only retired a couple of years ago.

Cool what was your MOS?

**Arnot** · 22nd September 11, 08:33 AM

My MOS while in Germany was 11C1P. The "P" identifier did not come in to play as my duty position was as a Mortar Crewman on a M106A2 (113 Series) Mortar Carrier. I was the assistant gunner on a 4.2 Inch Mortar. I was the gunner when I PCS'd to Ft Stewart after I left Germany. It was different at Ft Stewart as my unit there was Mechanized Infantry instead of Armored Cavalry. I was also a fuel handler (Aircraft) for a while, but retired from Ft Richardson as 11 Boogie Man in a parachute position.

Is this your first tour in Germany?
