I was housed in Coleman from 1957-1959. I was a fuel and electric specialist ...........

Same time I was there. Btroop.

SPC Marshburn. I was stationed at Coleman Barracks from March 1969 to May 1970, and was assigned to the 77th MP Detachment, with duty at the Military Stockade.

Now its a Refugee Camp.

I was in the 598th Trans Co from 1976-1979 as a mechanic. Never forget it. The egg specials at Mom's with white wine and coke. Softball league against other companies. Great times, great memories. Mike Doane

Art, I was at Spinelli Baracks, 63rd Ordnance Company, July 1960 to Sept 1962. I worked for W/O Hartman, maintaining inventory records. I don't remember our CO's name, but Nations was our 1st Sargent. I ended up getting transferred to a petroleum depot in France that was rotating back to the States. I finished my enlistment at Ft Leonard Wood, was discharged Feb 1963. I have not been back to Spinelli Barracks, but was aware it was being closed. My memory these days is not too hot and all of my memories were inadvertently tossed out in the late 60s. I've not been in contact with anyone. Besides Sargent Nations, about the only person I remember is a black fellow that called himself Calypso Joe! Do you remember me? John Kenny
