What’s it like at Vilseck as an infantryman? Is there enough time to travel out of the country or are you constantly in the field?

Be pepared to be cold!!!

I spent 3 years here. You get both U.S. and German holidays, at least a 3 day weekend a month, maybe more. You'll also spend about 4 months a year in the field. If you're married, service members sell used cars at the Graf PX, get one there rather than the dealers right off post (major ripoff), and get out and do stuff. The outdoors MWR has tours reasonably priced, highly recommend taking advantage of them, but also recommend just exploring the backroads. If you aren't married, save the expense of a car, and take advantage of the excellent public transportation system in Germany. A beautiful days pass allows you and three buddies to travel anywhere in Bavaria for one low price. If you intend to go out of country, make sure you have a passport. Even though Europe is open, with everything that's going on it's better to travel on a passport than on your military ID (SOF agreement doesn't work so well outside of Germany).

I’m not 100% sure about this but I think you’ll be training A LOT. Visited my sister and her husband last December, was in vilseck for 14 days. Constantly heard MG fire. Like legit constantly. Unless POG’s get down like that in Germany? Hahah
