I would have loved to been stationed there. A buddy of mine from Germany did his last two years there, made me envious.

Of course, I realized I didn't have it so bad: 4 1/2 years in Germany (lived in Traben-Trarbach, my commute my last two years took me through the Urziger Wurzgarten vineyards), and 4 years at Fort Bliss (El Paso)...awesome weather there.

I could have been with an Infantry unit that trained 8 months out of the year in the red mud at Grafenwohr. Instead, I was on a couple of AF bases during my tour in Germany.

As a dependent , we were assigned to Rhine Main. It was wonderful for a teen at the time. Then we got transferred to England. What a difference.

We did most of Europe then when I enlisted I did the southeast Asia tour before settling down to CONUS assignments doing Minuteman missile work.
