The above is from September 1954, depicting a parade on the retirement of the Post Commander, Col. Edwin G. Greiners. Taken from third floor of mess hall building, motor pool in background.
The dark structure atop the Headquarters building billets was, I think, NCO quarters, but in early 1958 it became what was left of the Personnel Processing Detachment, most of which had moved to Hawaii. By spring I was about the only guy living in it, last set of windows on the right, just before the taller building.
