Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SpeyRod: One recurring dream I used to have as a kid was of an Apollo rocket tipping over and taking off hitting me in the side. Not an unusual dream as a kid of my era. What was strange about it was I only had that dream right before an earthquake. I believe some people are in tune with the earth and they pick up on that stuff. I think as a kid I was one of those.

About my most fun day in the Army was at Bad Tolz. Did a pool dive into the SS Officers swimming pool for PT. Then went across the street and boarded one of SOCEURs UH-1 and did a hop and pop parachute jump into the snow. Shook chutes, had lunch and then went skiing in Alps for rest of the afternoon. Air, Land and Sea infiltration. What the three lighting bolts represent on our patch.
 First team room was under the left tower below. Later down to right, next to the indoor pool. German Alps in background.  C-130 capable airstrip across street of Kaserne. Drop zone was snow covered field along airstrip.  Brauneck ski area. Bad Tolz to left.

Kaserne was built in 1936 as the SS Junkerschule (SS officer school). Buildings and property were taking over by the US Army as a war trophy. Giving back to the Germans in 1991.
 1940
