[Night Hides Not]

When I was going through ADAOBC in '76, the Fort Bliss Officers Club had strippers for Happy Hour on Friday. Additionally, a few of us would have lunch at William Beaumont's O-Club on Tuesdays & Thursdays, as strippers plied their craft during the lunch hour.

How times have changed.

During my last 18 months in Germany, it seemed like every "Hail & Farewell" was held within 10 minutes of my apartment. I had an apartment on the Mosel River for 3 years, and I knew where to get the best vintages. There was plenty of available research time, as I lived 10 miles from the nearest base. I went without TV for nearly four years.

I'd invite everyone to my small apartment, where I always had plenty of beer, wine, and snacks ready for consumption.

I did CTLT in Hanau...with an extended FTX at Wildflecken. I really liked Germany. Never got stationed there but got back as part of the last Reforger in ‘92 (Clinton actually got elected while I was there.)
