Did two REFORGER exercises back in the day. Around 1977 and 78, I believe. Yes. Great beer. Good people...once you got away from the military bases.
My first overseas assignment (1978-1981)was to a radar sight in North Germany that was in the middle of nowhere (Hessisch Oldendorf Air Station). There were very few Americans around, so we were forced to learn the language and live like Germans. It was a little rough at first, but the Germans really took us in and helped us learn the language and customs. It turned out to be one of the greatest experiences of my life.
