Anybody remember leaving W. Berlin from the RTO and going back to the land of the big PX? My day was 14 November 1963 (OMG); and I’m still alive. The train left for Frankfurt A/M in the evening; arrived in Frankfurt the next morning. We stayed in Frankfurt for one day. Then left for Bremerhaven for the wonderful sea voyage back to Brooklyn. I believe I returned to the USA on the Maurice Rose. Luckily the “cruise” home was uneventful; good weather. Nothing to do onboard but sleep; play cards; and some returnee’s smuggled booze onboard. We arrived home on the day before Thanksgiving in November 1963. It was good to return home and see “family”. But believe it or not after couple days at home I missed Army life (OMG). Almost re-enlisted but I met my better half soon after returning home. The rest is history. We are still married. Anyone have stories to relate to about returning back to CONUS? Good or bad. Until later. Auf Wiedersehen.
