I love your posting on Andrews Berlin. It brought back alot of memories. I was stationed at the FSB from Feb 1977 to Feb 1979. I found your site by gooling Al Mulinos in Berlin. Isn’t the internet amazing. My family is planning a trip to Berlin and I wanted to see if Al Mulinos was still open. I love their Italian onion soup.
I am also a native of Indy. I miss the culture and especially the Museum of Art.

This is so wonderful to read all of this info and see those photos! I never thought I would say this…but I really do miss Berlin. I was very young and kind of afraid when I was stationed there, “behind the iron curtain” as I referred to it to impress my civillian friends :-) I was in H&S Company from 79-81….I remember you Jim Lilly….I was Laura Boone’s room mate for a while! I also remember you Jim Nageldinger….I played Rachael in your production of Inherit The Wind! Anyone else out there remember riding the Team-2 bus (and the the other two buses…can’t remember their names …one was Doppel-something or other)….and singing all those great songs…I still sing them sometimes! Like “Off we go, into the wild blue yonder…crash!” And “We don’t fight, we don’t kill, we just work upon The Hill, as old Team-2, goes rolling along…etc.” Oh…and I do remember the onions in the jello! I actually tried to complain to the cook…and was told that it was not accidental! That it was a new recipe they were trying out for “jello salad” !! But this was not at the mess hall on the hill….this was in the one at Andrews. Does anyone remember the blue potatoes? I also asked about that…they said it was food coloring put in the spuds to celebrate some holiday…I think Memorial Day. Sorry guys…most of us just couldn’t eat them…..blue food just isn’t right! (Blueberries are purple :-) Al Mulino’s was great, I too miss Tony’s Imbiss Stand….but more than those two, I miss those awesome sandwiches and tea from the NAAFI truck that used to come up to the hill! We used to stand in line out in the rain (of course it rained 99% of the time anyway) to get those sandwiches and that delicious tea.
You can contact me through facebook if any of you want to!

McNair barracks 1977 -1980 what a blast/experience.Left many memories behind to say the least! Combat Support unit 4/6 kicked alot of butt throughout germany. Speical unit made of up the best 20 soliders between Alpha,Bravo, Charlie and us came back nd place to only a German Ranger unit! We were 20 guys they threw together on short notice and came back as the best US platton but 2nd overal!However we kicked real butt in the arm wrestling afterwards second to none!!!!!!!!!!
