You'll have fun there. I spent seven years in Vilseck and Grafenwoehr. The opportunities for travel throughout Europe are amazing. There's tons to do, and if you pass up the schwimbad in Nuremberg, you're doing yourself a disservice.

Also, don't forget all of the museums, concentration camps, old medieval castles, etc..

Well my father was stationed there twice but I was younger so as an adult I'm a lil frazzled. But I'm sure I will love it all over again

When I was there, there was a large sub culture of SPC's and below in the barracks getting trashed every weekend, on the economy and in the barracks. My only "serious face" suggestion is to stay away from them. They kept us on the blotter constantly. It got to the point where the command was offering a four day weekend if we could stay off the blotter for one month. It never happened...

Take me with you! I LOVED Germany. I left there in 1994 and have been trying to get back ever since. So, naturally, the Army keeps sending me to Korea.

I guess Korea needs you more than Germany! Lol. I'm excited but I know I have some hoops to jump thru. Which is not new.

SPC Stahl , let me know if you need any infor about Germany or Graf because I was station there 2 years ago. It take some time getting use too but Germany is a great duty station. I don't know if you are getting another car or anything but I will warn you that in Europe it is very hard to find a automatic car because they look stick shift for some reason. Also, you are in within 2 hours from Prague and Munich . Both of these cities are awesome and are worth a visit. Well, if you have anymore information let me know.
