Up Date Information For 2/32nd FA
Sir,
I have been looking for web sites about the 2/32nd for some time now.
Wouldn't you know I stumbled onto this while searching for something
else! My name is Sam Dennemann. I was a member of A Battery 2/32nd FA
(MLRS/ATACMS), Giessen, Germany from the fall of 1989 through January of
1991.
I
don't know if you knew the battalion was reactivated or not, so I
thought I would share the info with you. I went through Basic Training
June-August 1989 and then received 13 weeks of AIT all at Ft. Sill, OK.
I trained as a 13P Multiple Launch Rocket Systems/Lance Operations Fire
Direction Specialist. After AIT I was assigned to B Battery 3/9th FA
along with 2 of my 13P classmates. At the time the 3/9th had few people.
B & C Batteries were training units specifically designed to create
Battalions of MLRS with Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS)
capabilities.
There was also about 6 people in a Headquarters unit and very few people
in D Battery, which was the last Pershing unit, no equipment at all. And
there was H Battery. We were reassigned to H Battery (Host unit) about a
month after arriving at B 3/9th. Over the next few months the rest of
the unit filtered in. We just happened to be the first assigned there.
Basically we prepared a very run down barracks for a battalion to live.
Once the entire unit was assembled we reprocessed all of the vehicles
and equipment and then went through an 8 week training cycle M-F in the
field. Saturday and half of Sunday preparing for the next week. At the
end we underwent a four day battery test. We did very well, and were
highly motivated. We had a ceremony and were officially designated as A
Battery 2nd Battalion, 32nd Field Artillery (MLRS/ATACMS).
We
were ordered to 28 days pre-deployment leave and the unit met in St.
Louis in late April 1990, where we flew to Germany. Our home station was
Giessen Depot, and we trained in Grafenwhor much of the time. After
August of 1990 volunteers were requested for duty in Saudi Arabia. Many
people from A Battery went over. The 2nd was never called for duty in
the Middle East for Desert Storm. We continued to train and before long
the rest of the Battalion filtered in from training at Ft. Sill. Upon
arrival in Germany there was a month in- process and then two in the
field at Grafenwhor. I left in January of 1991 and from what I know
the Battalion was disbanded and reformed as the 6/32 FA MLRS now in Ft.
Sill. Still the Proud Americans though. Thank you for your service and a
great web site. "Proud Americans" Sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I received this information by
e-mail From. Mr. Sam Dennemann
"THE MAN IN THE GLASS"
When you get what you want in your struggle for yourself, and the world
makes you King for a day, just go to a mirror and look at yourself and see
what THAT man has to say.
For it isn't your father, or mother, or wife whose judgment upon you must
pass, the fellow whose verdict counts most in your life is the one staring
back from the glass.
Some people might think you're a straight shooting chum and call you a
'wonderful guy', but the man in the glass thinks you're a bum if you can't
look him straight in the eye.
He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest, for he's with you clear
to the end, and you've passed your most difficult test if the guy in the
glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world, down the pathway of years and get pats on the
back as you pass. But your final reward will be heartaches and tears, if
you've cheated the Man in the Glass.
The above truism was found on the pages of the March, 2002 issue of "LZ53".
