Do Cav Scouts get to go see Germany?

SSG (Join to see), please tell your friend that Germany is the experience of a lifetime and one that he should think about looking into. I was a 19D stationed in Hohenfels, Germany many moons ago. I was part of the OPFOR. We were busy. We had time off also to see the sites. I have fond memories of those days. Fast forward to now. USAREUR has published four-day weekends every month. If you are not deployed, on a range, or in Hohenfels on rotation, more than likely you are off. Tell your Scout friend to look into it. It's well worth it.

SSG (Join to see) No one is that busy. I was a grunt when the wall came down and 2 years afterwards. It is certainly true that I admired the lights of many of the best cities from the woodline, but Europe is awesome. On a 4-day, MWR offers 3 countries in 3 days kind of events. I took 2 other grunts and we took a bus (you can drink on the bus) and we went to Euro Disney and the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Champs d'Elysee, and ate Kermit legs and snails. Good times!

Germany is great. Make sure you tell your friend to take a chance on an assignment. I too was with 1-1 Cav in the late 80s and we did spend 200+ days a year in the field. But when we weren't in the field we had opportunities to travel and see the country.
