I love Hohenfels!!!!! I'm living here for 3 years and in just finishing up my first year. I live in Parsberg and I've been to every city/country mentioned in this vid. Loving Hohenfels!!! GO TIGERS
Can't really say I loved it, I was there twice on the box, between the Grüne hogs and how miserable the weather was every time I was there which was either raining or snowing or both, I'd have to say no thank you. Thank God it was just for a rotation and then 🚍 back to Berlin. This was from 92-94.
Housing is bad. My dad was a 19D and retired there. We ended up living in Regensburg which was about 30 min away. Housing is bad unless you get the apartments behind the schools. They're pretty big and are like 4 bedrooms.
LOL yes the theater was crap. Went to see one movie and they started playing the wrong one for 20 minutes-stopped it then played the right one. The whole time the sound cut in and out and the film had bad spots. Dirty inside also. Was there 40 days back in 2000, 30 of them in the field. We cleared out the Popeye's when we came back from the field because we smelled so bad. The countryside is beautiful but wow does the base suck.
I am about to go over there in the spring to 1/4 IN. I have been to Germany before and trained in Hohenfels but only been stationed in Graf and Vilseck. Can anyone tell me how housing is? or anyone that has been in 1/4 IN?
I was in C 3/60 from 80-81. I remember a German eatery on base, not sure it was across from the barracks, but they had a great steak dinner that was real cheap!
Why would you say the installation is “pretty run down”? I was assigned to 1st Battalion, 4th Infantry/1/4th INF (OPFOR), one of the tenant units on Hohenfels from 2007 to 2012, and I found it to be a well maintained installation. I was all around Hohenfels during my time there with the exception of the airfield, and I found it to be comparable to most other U.S. Army installations I’ve served on, or visited over the years. But I respect your opinion of it, regardless. Have a good day.

Also if you don't like the housing on post there are great little towns right outside the gates. Not even 5 minutes away.
The Box !!
They need to update this. The Java cafe is no longer in hohenfels.

The Popeyes was abandoned a year later when I was there. You could tell it was a Popeyes after looking at it for a few minutes.
how bad is the Muslim out break in this part of Germany ?
Scout Bashaw I shudder to think of that!
been there, done that, bought the t-shirt.
I loved my time at Hohefels!
Hohenfels was the best AT i've ever had in my military career!!
Our son is headed that way in September 2020. Hope he enjoys it as much as you did.
it doesn't look like the base has changed a whole lot since I left in 1980. Germany is a beautiful country.
Trying to find old pictures of the motorpool &/or barracks on the hill (circa 75-78ish) ..??
Miss my little Village Hohenfels, and my teen ager years 1963
Bryan, go have dinner at Gasthof Josef Gassner (restaurant) in Hohenfels. Best food in town. We used to go here weekly.
Getting a weekend pass and meeting German women 😍😍😍
When I was there in 1989 , NONE of these support activities were available.
It's also a place where everyone knows everyone, so there is a ton of gossip.
We had two mother fuckers about freeze here. They fell asleep and we couldn't get them up.
I miss Hohenfels.

I miss wearing my Old Tiger Stripes!!,
Hohenfels! By my self! Real Talk! Lonely!
-Hohenfels Rap
I lived here for three years and I miss it everyday. When I join service I’m hoping I can get sent back here.
I am about to go over there in the spring to 1/4 IN. I have been to Germany before and trained in Hohenfels but only been stationed in Graf and Vilseck. Can anyone tell me how housing is? or anyone that has been in 1/4 IN?
At the 1:33 mark, I see people skinning / bootpacking up the mountain in the snow. How far is this location from Hohenfels? Thank you.
God I miss this place, also i went to the school here our teacher tried to make us replace this video with a new version
I was here many times for training while stationed in Germany in the 80's
Best AT i ever had. Det 149th vertical engineer
C 3/60 ADA 1980-81. Anyone else?
I miss this place, even though 95% of what they talked about in this video was not there when I was in 1/4 INF in 1994!
Went there on 93 and 94 with C Co 5/502 Inf out of Berlin. Was in Deutschland from 92 to 94.
Just got orders to go there
Still hear (2014)
My cousin is there her husband is an MP in Afghanistan

The landscape is beautiful. The base itself is pretty run down.
