  October 1956 – May 1957

 

Donavan Kerr put me onto your 280th web site.  I was stationed at Rudow from late October 1956 until late May 1957.  After Ft. Devens, I was sent to Arlington Hall Station and attached to NSA which was co-located there at the time.  I moved with NSA when they moved from AHS to Ft. Meade in early 1955.  I was with NSA until after a week of leave, I reported to McGuire AFB on June 1, 1956 to be flown to Frankfurt a Main and then was supposed to take the train into Berlin. 

 

  Although ASA Military, I was traveling for NSA.  When I arrived in Frankfurt, I was notified that my orders to

  Berlin had been rescinded. No explanation was give and I was told to enjoy myself in Frankfurt until new orders

  were received. 

 

  I believe it was about three weeks until I received orders to proceed to Bad Aibling where I joined a group that

  had pulled back from Vienna.  Sometime in October, most of the men in that organization including me moved a

  packet at a time over several days and weeks to Berlin.

 

  By November 1st 1956, we had all arrived at Rudow.  I left there in late May/Early June 1957 for the states for

  discharge as my enlistment was ending and I had opted not to re-up.
