PCS’ing to Germany.?

Due to the draw down, there is extensive on post housing available in Germany, so off post housing is not available. Furthermore, as a PFC, you are at the bottom of the choosing order, so you will probably end up in apartments or other conjoined housing. As for choosing a unit, that won't happen. You go where the army needs you to go within the confines of your selected post.

Don't let that spoil your fun, however. You get a lot of long weekends, nearly every U.S. and German holiday is an extended weekend, and there is much to do. Amberg is just a short bus ride away, and it's a classic German city. Nuremberg is an hour away by train, and there's a lot of history there. The ICE will take you anywhere you want to go in Germany in a few hours, so get out, see the country side, and don't sweat the less than optimal housing situation.

If you get to Vilesek (big if as a 11 series), the housing is good. The winters a tough (snow and lots) and your at Grafenwoehr's back door (Germanys Training Area). Your also in Bavaria, LOTS to see and do, Munich is a couple of hrs away. Chiemsee and Berchtesgaden all within reach for a 3 day weekend. learn the train system and go to Nuremburg or Regensburg for the day. There was also a Crystal factory close by (wife loved that place).

HAhahaha, you go where the Army sends you. C'mon Man!!!!!!!!!!!
