I landed there on Oct 20, 1972. Went to H'berg in '74.
Worked in G4. AJ then SGT. Got stuck with all the details that required an NCO (I was the most junior) or an EM (I was most experienced)
Played in ReForGer. On call the night a F4, iirc, failed to pull up on a simulated strafing run of an APC Armored Personnel Carrier (with troops). Supply officer was first on scene, and he only had the G4 freq. I had to wake up everyone at 0500 to say we had an incident... Orange forces kicked ass...! (Course it was reported that the Blue forces won. For the uninformed... The blue forces were the reenforcement troops flying over from the US. The orange were some of the forces already in Germany who had to play "bad guys".)
Lived in Leighton barracks.
On CP the night there was a "race" riot on post. Was to have been cruising the town, looking for drunks (CP=Courtesy Patrol - pick up the drunks and return them to the barracks before the MPs were called). Jeep broke down so ended up on walking patrol of the Kasern (post). My partner and I were actually caught right in the middle when the fight/riot broke out... We spent two days being interrogated by MP, JAG, and IG.
7 day war... Waiting on flight line for load and go order... Being issued live ammo while on guard duty... Middle of the night alerts... Being young, no cares and no worries... :)
