I’m sure those female platoon leaders will be a big hit with units in Germany, i.e. those that spend eight months in the field (i.e. red mud) in Grafenwoehr.

I was TDY for six months in Graf in the 80’s. I was a 12 bravo, we built the M1 tank range there. We worked our asses off. I put down a few at the Metropol as well.

Never made it to Graf, I was ADA (air base defense), though I had several visits to Vilseck for training. NBC school was outstanding, I got a lot of mileage out of that and the extra duty of NBC Officer for my battery, and later, my battalion.

I did enough time in the field, though, between ARTEPs, training, and base tac evals, to know I wanted no part of Graf.
