Well, here's my two cents on Germany.

I spent two tours in Germany, the first tour was as a Raytheon Field Engineer for the IHAWK MSL WP SYS at Grafenwoehr (79-82), and then again (86-88) at Vilseck as a civil service liaison officer for the Army in Europe.

My daughter was born in Eschenbach, GE and has had a lifelong interest in Germany -- she just graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in german, and is now in the process of establishing a German language program for the Special Forces here at Fort Bragg, where I work.

So me and my family are just all ate up with Germany, lol.
