Yo, it's German_Ace. Just wondering how long it will take for me to get Email back regarding my sign up for =AVG=
If one of you can help that would be great.
I check yahoo everyday, hehe, me so happy
We haven't forgotten about you. I'm glad to hear you are excited to join. From what I hear, you have been on TS once before, but most of us haven't spoken or played with you. I understand you have a 6 hour time difference and that can make getting on in the evening difficult (well, the USA evening), as I have a close friendship with someone who lives in East Berlin. The 6 hour difference means that she usually has to talk to me around 10pm or later. We would love for you to come and fly with us at =AVG= practice tomorrow if you would like, but seeing as it will probably be about 3am there, I can understand if you can't make it. 9 pm EST is when practice gets started.

Aerial bombs are like children; when you really love them, you have to let them go far, and hope they don't come back to you
As Dougalachi stated, we have not forgotten you. I saw you on the TeamSpeak channel the day that you applied, but I was at work and unable to join you. We would like to speak with you when you get a chance to join the channel again.

Ah yes, the rock. I 'visited' there once while evaluating a unit on their yearly field exercise. I was stationed in Darmstadt for a couple of years back in the 80s. Visited Berlin once before leaving, and was in that disco on the Ku-damm the weekend before it was bombed.
East Berlin was a tad on the uptight side when I visited there, but that was before the wall came down. A buddy and I bought drinks for an eastern sailor and his woman that were dining in the same restaurant as us as a gesture of brotherhood, and they looked at that brandy like it was poison! The left without enoying it, which was a little sad. I tell you what, I literally cried when the wall did finally come down did because I knew what that meant to the Berliners and all Germans. I have German roots from the Aachen area, and from some small villages just across the river from Strassborg.

The Rock, wow does that bring back some interesting memories. In the 70's I was stationed in Ider Oberstien with an Airborne Artillery Battalion headquarter in Baumholder. I'll never forget our Battalion picnics (maneuvers) in the dust and mud of Grafenvier, oh what fun it was.

Yeah they closed Idar down about a year or so ago, they went to ft lewis wa., and they turned the post back over to the germans... did you know Bruce Willis was born in Idar?

Wow it's a small world, I live no more than 20 miles from ft Lewis.

I did not know that. Here's another little coincidence, Bruce Willis was born in Germany in 1955 and raised in New Jersey, I was born in New Jersey and moved to Germany with my family in 1955!
Small world in deed.
