What has been favorite overseas assignment and why?

CSM, My favorite is Germany. I love history and traveling and I got to do both on 4 days weekend while I was getting paid by the Army. I got to see so much and do in a short amount of time. Every since I left I always think about the countries I didn't have a chance to go see because of a deployment and which cut my 2 year tour in half. I will go back there before I ETS or retire from the Army.

CSM, even though I thoroughly enjoyed my three years in Korea, I would have to say that my favorite was Germany. I was there before the Euro, so the US dollar went a long way. The history was amazing and the people were friendly. The food and the beer were first rate! I liked it so much that I have been trying to get back there ever since I left in 1994, and I am seriously looking for jobs there now that I am retiring. Specifically, I was in the Wiesbaden and Mainz areas.

I loved Bamberg, Germany. It's a really old town that was relatively untouched by WWII so it still has a very old feel, and is one of those rare small towns that has modern conveniences, but has mostly escaped the modernization of the rebuilding of post WWII Germany.

CSM, I would have to go with Korea too. Had it not been for my time spent with the 1/9 Mech out at Camp Hovey I wouldn't be in the Army today. It was a just a great group of Soldiers to work for and with.

North Korea. Because sometimes I wish I was dead or Dennis Rodman.

Just kidding, Okinawa, Japan! 2007-2010. Beautiful weather, high humidity worse than Miami, never dipped below 45' in the winter. People are super friendly, great food, great times during typhoons! Have more questions, hollar!

PS: Thanks, LTC Paul Labrador, beat me to 100 trail blazer points, errgh!
