I'm a proud Army Brat! My father, CSM Richard D. Branch was stationed at Pinder Barracks from 73-76. Daddy passed in 89 and is buried a few graves down at Ft Bragg from another Pinder Barracks friend and co-worker, CSM Haywood Pugh who passed a few months after my father. I was 13 years old when we left furth headed for Ft Sill and didn't pay as much attention as I now wish I had. I can't tell you all how much this site and your photos mean to our family! My 15 year old son is very into the military and history. I wish his Grandpa were here to tell all the stories and some of the things he was involved in.

Hi Tom, good to hear from you. I plan on sending pics of family to you soon.

Was at Pinder from Oct 90 to Sep 91. Assigned to SVC 2/1. Roomed with Sam Hartwig from Arkansas. Went to Desert Storm and was reassigned to Fort Carson, Colorado when heavy "disbanding" was happening. Remember the Zirndorfer's and the best food ever. Found the old bomb shelter behind the barracks. (dug out entrance) Trying to get to the lower levels for the fabled secret passages was fun also. Volksmarches just about every weekend exploring the countryside. (The free mugs/glasses after the walks still decorate my kitchen) Got tatoo at Eddies in Nurnberg. (color still bright) So many memories not enough space. I recall this website being started some 10-12 years ago and it is great to see the overwhelming response to a part of all of our lives we will certainly not forget and that we are proud of. Hope to get back to the beautiful countryside with my family some day. Hope all of you certainly have found everything that you have ever wanted in life.

I was with HHB Divarty from 87 til 89. We Lived on the top floor above the 595 MP CO. I remember the Christmas of 88. We woke up and started drinking Zirndorfers. We started lowering things down to the room just below us on a string, and they would send something back. This went on most of the day. So many great memories from Pinder, I will never forget.
