I was first stationed in Bavaria in 1980 and took the Duty Train to Berlin in 1981. It was straight out of a spy movie. Train moved at night from Frankfort and went through Soviet Checkpoints. I was smitten and when I got back to my duty station requested Berlin be at the top of my Dream Sheet of duty stations.
Couldn’t believe when I actually came down on orders years later.
Wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.
LOL! Once in a while you DO get what you ask for. Thanks for your service.
You must be a Fort Devens graduate?
