I was there in 1970 with Co. C, 2/37th Armor and just ran across this website. Thought maybe anyone else who ever served there, or in the Nurnberg area, might find it interesting.
Location: In Gridley which is a small town in the farm country of Northern Ca.

My name is Dan Cole and I was with Company C 2/37 Armor in 1970 and 71. I went to the 4th Armored Division NCO Academy and was promoted to Sgt. E-5. I qualified my tank as a Gunner in 1970 with the 4th Armored Division and again in 1971 with the 1st Armored Division. I got out of the Army right after that. Company C was the worst group of misfits I ever served with. There were a few good people among them but most were draftees who just wanted out.
