I'm glad you like the video. There is a part 2 video in my set of videos. We have a 3rd/Final video to upload in the future.

Thank you. I'm glad you like the video. We love the area. Five years here. We'll make a new video before we leave in 1 month. I will miss Germany too.

Yes, new big hospital being built just outside East gate.

87 to 90 here. Completely different even though the layout of the base and the roads are still basically the same though much improved and traffic circles added. Lots of new buildings. Love to take a trip back to the area again. Best time ever and don't know why I ever left it.

That is great. That's the reason we post videos. To be an instrument for other people's joy.

If you were in elementary school in 1982, I would have been the Senior Airman that watched the kids on the playground... in winter I wore the big furry hooded parka and the kids all called me "Eskimo Man"... lol

I 2as there 682-86 as an airman

I joined the service in 87.

​@@brucerhodes8197I think I vaguely remember you. I used to live in building 907, and as I recall, it was right next to the park and elementary school. That would have been sometime between 1981 and 1986. I went to the elementary school from kindergarten until 2nd grade.

Yes, I love the place

You are welcome. My videos are created to make everyone feel like they are there in the area too.

Greetings from Kaiserslautern,you are Always Welcome 🌺

Ob man als Deutscher die Gegend auch besichtigen darf ist aber fraglich 🙄

@@Fastlife_ Da kommt man nicht rein.

@@swatjustin7403 Und was ist wenn ich amerikanische Filme Konsumiere komme ich dann auch rein.

das war nicht mal die hälfte, kindergarten , 3 schulen, kantine, kino, apartment blocks wohn blocks reihenhäuse für ca 8000 leute, ein weiteres hotell,der komplette flughafen, der komplette militär bereich mit nato HQ etc all das wurde nicht gezeigt im video.

Thank you for watching the video

well at this time we had around 250.000 american soldiers here in germany and now around 35.000. As a german the weather is maybe one of the reason why we dont have humor

Thank you

@@olcankanicok9125 We Germans don’t have Humor? Thats Nonsens😂😂😂

I love it here. Great place!

@@ricardagottschalk9089 Lol

Thank you too. Your message inspires me to make more videos. Any areas you want me to post just tell me. Now we plan to make videos of all villages.

See reply.

Steinwenden village and at 30 Reichwaldring Strasse please where we used to live.

Used to live in Eulenbis, a small town on top of the hill near Weilerbach. Lived at the house at 8 Eulenkopf Str. If you could get a video of leaving Weilerbach and going up the hill to the town i would be eternally grateful. Great restaurant there to check out as well. Gasthaus Zum Eulennest, incredible food there.

Thank you. I'm glad you like the video. Yes, a lot has changed. There's a new Regional Hospital being built. East Gate is expanded for the Hospital.

I was there '83-'86, with the 512th and 526th.

I'm glad you liked the video. Great memories, right?

Great memories. I'm glad I was in Germany for 5 years. I enjoyed every minute of the tour.

Yes, I like the new buildings.

I lived there from 1980-1986. I was just a child at the time.

The area is getting better. Construction completed.

I'm glad you liked the video. Yes, West Gate is by the Passenger Terminal.

I was there from 2012-2014. USAFE A3O

Yes, a lot of changes/buildings.

Crazy small world my dad was pmel there 1999-2003

Yes, a lot of changes. I like what they have now.

Yes, a lot of changes - for the better. I love the base.

It's a nice area. I'm glad you like the video.

Yes, euro plates. That was scary with that group around. We had a great tour in Ramstein, like a vacation.

Yes, there are lots of changes. The East Gate development is awesome. The new Regional Hospital will be amazing once completed.

A lot of viewers want to see the difference of what it is now compared to what they saw years ago. Great place. I like Germany.

If you do not have a sponsor to bring you in the base as a guest, you can not enter the gate. It is a different atmosphere because a different culture, I guess.

@@luckytyan6011 so only people, with an US ID, can bring foreigners inside the base?

@@eQshoqqz Yes

@@luckytyan6011 Why cant i enter my own countries space its so sad...

@@luckytyan6011 can i go with a US passport if im not in military?

It's like a corporation or a company compound that is limited access to the public. Can everyone go in the compound of the BMW car factory? I guess it's also limited entry. That is the closest example I can think of.

But a car factory doesn’t have its own grocery store or passenger airport. @@luckytyan6011

@@luckytyan6011 Well, comparing a car factory with a military base is a bit of a stretch. One payed for the small land they own and produces goods for the market and the other one is there because we lost the second world war and... well... that's basically it. If we were soverign as a country, this whole Ramstein ordeal shouldn't be a thing. This is just a daily reminder that we are still kneeling down to our overlord in the US, whilst every other military left decades ago.

Well, if you look at it that way. I only meant limited access to the public. History is done. New generation think different now. We can move on. Prepare for the future.

@@luckytyan6011 History is apparently not done when the US is still on our soil. The new generation doesn't think for itself, it thinks what it's told to think about by social media and the media in general. That's why nobody is questioning it. Until the past is resolved there is no moving on. There is just new information stacked on top of each other until it's so clustered that nobody has the will to dig deep enough. That's already happening. Trying to prepare for the future as much as I for one can though. Thing is, as long as you never lived through the live a German lives through, you won't understand to have this cloud over your head that prevents the whole nation from moving on. To this day our past is haunting us as a people and rather than questioning it to resolve it, most just live with it and let it dictate the way they vote and treat politics overall. Trapped in a spiral, so to say.

Hello. Good to know. Marami tayo dito.

Yes, a lot of changes. Round abouts got planes and other figures. I can't wait till the new Regional Hospital in Ramstein is completed.

Welcome

Yes, a lot of changes. New buildings. Wait till they finish the new Regional hospital in Ramstein base.

Yes, the short entry is history. We need a better mario kart for the race 😃

That's great!

Entire base could have been renovated and moved areas around since that time. Did you visit Ramstein after that?

Old BX location is now grass area. New BX is great!

I'm glad you like the video. I got plenty of videos. Whatever interests a viewer.

I'm glad you liked the video and the song. I only listen to Christian music. To God be all the glory.

Ami pesos

Sorry I don't understand German language. Thank you for watching the video.

I was at Yokota too. I love Japan. Great people and places.

Yokota 2002-2006

I went to High School on Ramstein 96-2000. Crazy

I feel that too, going to miss the area. We leave in 1 month. I'll keep that in mind. We'll try to go around the housing area.

Do you remember the Street name. We could walk down memory lane. Anyone who lived in one of the villages, we may make a video of the villages. Send us your village name.

It gets better now Springtime then Summer.

Ah, your not with the military? Yes, your friends have to sponsor you to come on base.

​@@luckytyan6011 that's right - *I'm no Military.* I am German, but I like the fact, that the us troops are here. since I have been 12 years old, *i like US American People*

Yes, very nice base.

Wow, your place of birth is a great place. I like it here. More development in the area. Plan of a new big hospital in the works.

I can't read German and I can't translate.

@@luckytyan6011 hy lucky .I told, that I was flying with my Sailpläne in legal altitudes above the Control Zone and naturally could See a lot from distance there . One time a Boeing 747 from Calitta Air flew below me and in TV I one time Just before beginning of Ukraine war I saw such B747 on Kyiv Airport Delivering weapons. And on Website of Calitta Air they searched pilots with the remark: you can Take with you your pet and behind Cockpit there ist place For a sleeping rooms. So I imagined, that perhaps the Pilot and His dog we're sleeping above while the weaponry we're unloaded below.

Thanks

@@luckytyan6011”Thanks but I’m gonna keep it up anyway” 😂

You read my mind.

Remember that balloon that mapped out the entire US and was allowed to complete it's mission? That is original.

There are already German documentaries showing all these places and, of course, China an Russia can see this on their satellite footage as well. He just shows the streets and buildings from a quite big distance.

Wow, haven't you seen on the news - the government allowed a sophisticated spy baloon to map out the entire US? Love the current Administration.

You have to work on base to enter.

@@luckytyan6011 Ok I understand. I thought we can just enter so we can visit the Commisary and Exchange.

Yes, a lot of changes and more constructions coming

Originally from Iloilo City. Los Angeles home based.

Yes. American military personnel and Federal government employees assigned to Germany get to have 1 vehicle shipped from the US to Europe at the government's expense--just like household goods. You can also purchase US-spec automobiles--either brand new or used--at various car dealerships or lots on base. Source: I was stationed at Ramstein for 3 years. Then returned to Germany as a DoD civilian employee for another 5 years several years later. As a matter of fact, all the vehicles going to/returning from Germany get processed through the port in Baltimore.

@@swampfoxIX I figured that’s how it works. So that means you drive your car from home on German roads and the Autobahn?

​@@SouthwestAirlines335 Of course! I drove all throughout Western Europe in my Toyota Camry in my 8 years I spent in Germany. We also don't pay European gas prices, which is quite expensive. We either fill up on base (US gas prices), or get issued a "ration card" that we present to European gas stations. But we can only use this card at ESSO stations.

Good benefit!

@@swampfoxIX When I was there (81-83), the cars with US specs you could buy, all were set up to pass California emission standards, if you're home state wasn't CA, most people who purchased a car, would remove all the extra emission controls after returning to the states....

I'm glad you like the video. Thanks too.

Thank you. We only listen to Christian music. I'm glad you like it

Thank you.

Gallons. Gas is expensive in the economy (off base).

I guess, only employees and dependents allowed to enter. I don't know if there's a special holiday where everyone allowed to come in. In Japan, there's a specific day.

Ich war in Würzburg Kassierin in der BX. OHNE ID Karte ging da gar nichts an der Kasse,ich war auch verpflichtet,jeden Kunden danach zu fragen. Deutsche wurden schon am Eingang abgewiesen.

@@luckytyan6011 I know before the Air Show disaster in 1988 the base would open for Flugtag (Air Show) and thousand of locals would come on base.

Thank you. Good to know the base was open to public before.

Welcome. Marami pinoy dito. Different groups. Hermitanyo ako kasi covid 😃

Check the Renting a house and Buying a house videos. Good to plan ahead.

@@luckytyan6011 ok thank you 😊

@@luckytyan6011 my mga Filipino restaurants or shops po dyan?

Walang pinoy resto/stores. May Asian stores for patis, ginisang bagoong. Walang pink alamang ng Pangasinan. May Thai resto, Chinese resto, busog lagi. Crispy duck fav ko, affordable.

What is an indicator?

@@luckytyan6011 it's a flashing light on all corners of a vehicle that indicates your intention to make a change of direction. Something rarely used in the US. Also referred to as 'winkers'.

Yes, new BX.

Nice!

Does Google map show anything?

@@luckytyan6011 no... its blocked on Google maps

Thank you. I'm glad you like the video.

We'll make another video soon.

Why go to the end, skipping video?

Thank you.

What's the title? I'm not allowed by KZfaq to watch my own videos. Because of the advertisements.

Yes, worship music. I got 2 cd. I only listen to Christian songs.

That, I don't know. I may be out of area whenever they play.

Hi

Thanks

😿

Great! Thank you very much.

True, my friend!

Hi

Hi

@@luckytyan6011, what this person meant by writing down: "ami, go home" meant actually: "yankee, go home" (ami = americans, not exactly the french word for friend)... Ramstein AB, as a relay station for deadly drones attacks worldwide (with 90% of collateral damage) has grown quite unpopular by a not negligible amount of Germans, I'm afraid... The US Army has lost a huge amount of credibility, as well as sympathy, since 2003 in Irak and the -still- existence of the Guantanamo camps... I like the fact that you're Christian and that you show it. God bless and peace be with you.

Yes, God's light shines through us. God bless you too.

I'm home.

Thank you for watching the video.
