Now THOSE are beer glasses! I never did make it to Oktoberfest. Stupid 1st Lieutenant, leading us on a goose-chase.
Mick - made it to LTC
Capt. Mick was my battery commander when I was in Germany. Heck of a good dude.

These were a pain to use.

MAN and others
Caravan in the woods. This is pretty typical of the sort of experience I had in Germany. Those MAN trucks were amazing. Way better than any of the other Army trucks I had to ride in.
Launch-early
I think this is a P1 (as opposed to P1A) because of the tracked erector-launchers. Definitely from before my time. I never got to see one fired IRL.
itsnotagasmask
Yes these were used as pillows. Not good pillows, but better than nothing. And in a pinch they could even filter out bad gasses - but don't call them "gas masks" because that's not the Army way.
Hardt - before my time
This is from before my time, but I lived in that first building for a while.
Claymore
CattleCar
Yep, I rode in something like this several times during Basic Training. They'd pack an entire battery in one of these - standing room only.
Canteen
Yes. Yes I can. Still. Decades later.
