I loved the Air Force during the 80s at Ramstein AB, Germany. We had football teams, basketball teams, softball and intramural softball. Ramstein had some mighty football teams.

I remember the Ramstein Rams and beating Sembach 74-7 and 50-6. It was like high school but better and had quite a few college level athletes. Our kicker kicked for Alabama and Mr Air Force was our nose tackle.

I played on the Weather team and winning a lot of games at Ramstein and practiced and played in Kaiserslautern. I remember getting into a fight because a 3rd baseman shoved me off the base. Our coach was angry and pushed the 3rd baseman.

I can't believe I stumbled upon this post. I was stationed at Sembach AFB in 1987-1989 and played USAFE softball, basketball and Volleyball. I was trying to find if softball was USSSA or ASA rules, does anyone know?

I was at Ramstein from 1972-1989. My Dad worked for the government as a GS-16. Loved watching the semi pro football games. It was great especially since we were always one of the best teams in Europe. Even our Jr High and High School teams were good. A little unfair probably since we were the biggest base with the most people to choose from. Never understood why the new high school built back in the 1983 went with a different name and went with the Royals vs the Rams.

I was station at Bitburg 1975 - 1978. I played football 75 - 78. I started defensive secondary with George Izzi and Mike Sorrel (76-78). Yes, it was the best (3 USAFE Championships).
I was station at Ramstein 1985 - 1995. I played football 85 - 92. I started defensive secondary with Bobby McCoy. Yes, it was the best too (2 USAFE Championships) and a lot of CSC Championships playoffs).

I didn't play but attend the 1982 USAFE championship football game between Ramstein and RAF Upper Heyford, played at Upper Heyford. I was stationed just 8 miles up the road at RAF Croughton. We fell under the 20th TFW and had guys who played on the Upper Heyford football team. One was one of my co-workers in our shop, big Ron "Moby" Dick, who was All-USAFE and played left tackle.
