One of the useless leaders I ever served under.

I was stationed in Ramstein AB 2009-2013. Trained w Army medic in Grafenburg Army base

I was the station chief firefighter 51m40 Stuttgart Army Airfield West Germany 1981-84. We never had that type of fire trucks

I was stationed in Furth in 88-89. I loved Bavaria and especially the beer! 🍺

You forget Ansbach and Illesheim as Part of USAG Bavaria ;)

Also known as GRAFF. Was stationed there 82-85 with the 535th Eng.Co.(CSE) 563rd Eng. Bn 7 Corp. Worked on all the range upgrades. Helped build Range 301 it was the largest Engineer Construction Project in the Corp of Engineers. It took 11 months. It took the 18 Eng Bde 7th Eng Bde and subordinate units in total there was around 3,000 plus Construction Engineers and Heavy Equipment Operators. Being permanent party was great . I miss West Germany and I remember when the MARK was at almost 4.50 Mark to the dollar then all the countries dropped like $ 4 Billion dollars on the market, it never recovered.

Verschwindet aus unserem Land,ihr seid hier nicht willkommen 🙏

He does a good job reading the script! Lets give him an Arcom!

Still the preeminent area to be stationed. Unlucky me got Baumholder to the west instead. If you get a choice for PCS to a new duty station in Germany choose Bavaria. I cannot list all the cool things you can do in this region on this comment board.

Did anyone see that soldier just totally eat it while landing?

Cool

1/4 Inf. Hohenfels 92-96.

I have true stories from 77' to 80' , that would trip you out in West Germany. Siegelsbach. That's where I was stationed for 3 crazy years. Thanx.

Spent two seperate tours in Bavaria. First on 74-76 Cobra gunship crew chief, Illesheim /Ansbach mil comm. Second,MP NCO out of Schweinfurt. Spent many of good times in Rothenburg, Garmisch, Berchtesgaden, Munich,the countryside.The people were very hospitable everywhere, and it seemed like every taxi driver was a one time POW who was transferred to a U.S. POW camp in the states!

Still got ration cards?

I'm German Loves your army My dream is joining the US Army

Graf, the Army and 7th ATC are different than when my AF family was assigned there in the early 80s, but our time there then was wonderful and I'm jealous of anyone assigned there now.

it sucks here don’t come

I Was stationed at Graf from 1975 to 1978 assigned to 7 ATC.

Ich wille sehe deiser stadt nicht und ich kann stehe es nicht zu habe missraus am alle gute alt zeiten das alle dieser soldaten willst machen da. Wenn ich immer kann ich bin hinein mit überische freude fühlen I'm meinem teif.

Edelweiss is a dream Reject the Mark of the Beast!

East7 US army im captain for is all guys

I lived there from 1967 to 1974.. My father was an instructor for the arming of the Nuclear missiles with the "physics Package"... I never knew until just a few years ago what Dad was doing there.. I didn't even know about the caves until then either ! Verner Von Braun was there and purposely surrendered to the US.. Dad was: Alfred G Pease 1922 - 2016 Rank CW4 Has anyone here been in the caves? As kids (BRAT) we were not allowed to go to that area of the base. My Father was Army but he worked for 3 Generals in three branches. Army, Navy, and either Marines or Air force. I don't remember. I was very young and this was my first "Reality". I LOVED it there !

Stationed in Germany from 1971-1974. Spent time at Grafenwohr, Tennenlohe, Hohenfels, Bad Tolz, Katterbach, Urlas, and Ansbach. Based on the testimony of the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff General Milley before congress, I am no longer proud to have served. Not my Army.

17:17 17:18 Was stationed at Graff 82-85 . 535th Eng.Co. ( CSE). 563 rd Eng Bn 7 Corp. It looks like Graff has changed big time. I heard that the Tank Trails are now hard ball. We did range upgrade and built ranges 10 months a year.

Danke für die Information. Mit anderen Worten, geht es den Soldaten und ihren Familien hier besser, als in den USA. Traurig aber nicht hoffnungslos. Hier funktioniert die zivil/militärische Zusammenarbeit besser.

Warum sprechen Sie kein deutsch?

Nobody is talking about Ray Allen @ 0:24

These facilities shall be removed back to the US. Germany is free country, the war is over long ago, the Warsaw Pact ceased, so there is no reason to keep this military forces abroad

He can read good

Things were way different in 1985 when I was there.

Wow I'm amazed how they coddle soldiers these days.

Let me tell you a little history of Rose Barracks. I was stationed in 663rd Ordinance Company at Rose Barracks from 1972-1975. When I got there I was not even sure I was in the Army. The barracks were in terrible condition. The bathrooms were disgusting and the only heat we had were coal oil stoves in each room which were fueled by hauling fuel from the dark basement in a bent up oil can. These stoves often belched black smoke and frequently caught fire. The windows were so old and warped that when the wind blew the draft blew all the way across the room. We slept on the old thin mattress spring bunks and they sagged so much your butt touched the floor below you. Drunkenness was widespread and fights often resulted in more damage to the building. There were no locks on the doors and you had to keep your wall locker secured to protect any valuables. Speaking of drunkenness drug use was rampant. Not only hashish but hard drugs like amphetemines, LSD and heroin were readily available. Over the counter German painkillers called Mandrakes were a common drug used by just about everyone and were used along with alcohol. The mess hall was another joke. We had hotdogs and hamburgers so often I just assumed that was what the Army subsisted on. The food was of poor quality and for some reason there was never any coffee. The coffee mystery was finally solved when the mess sergeant went to Leavenworth for selling food and coffee on the black market. There were several personnel who I noticed every morning sitting on the hood of their 5 ton trucks who I assumed were German workers. They were dressed in Army fatigues which were in disrepair and they all had hair far longer than Army regulations allowed. It was only later that I learned that these were soldiers who were shipped to Germany from Vietnam who were allowed to do pretty much what they pleased. They couldn't have given a shit less about the Army or anything else. What was the Army going to do to them, ship them back to Vietnam? It was people like them who were responsible for all the heroin which was shipped into Germany and used by US servicemen. At the time you could go to Munich and purchase 1000 grams of hashish for $1000.00 American currency and sell it in the barracks for $5.00 a gram. A very good profit margin. My room mate was a Spec4 who had a hashish business in the barracks and he came back from Munich one Sunday with 10, 100 gram slabs of hash. He stuck it in his wall locker in the bottom drawer and covered it with with underwear. Early the next morning there is a BANG, BANG, BANG on the door and in walks the Company First Sergeant who shall remain nameless. It was a health and welfare inspection conducted periodically to search for contraband (Drugs) and weapons. Well, my room mate and I are standing at attention and the First Sergeant goes over and searches my room mates locker and I watched him search the drawer where I know there is 1000 grams of hash. I am standing there shaking in my boots thinking this is it, I'm going to Manheim, the Army prison in Germany. well, the First Sergeant can't help but see that hash but instead of saying a word he closed the locker and walked out of the room. After my heart started beating again I asked my room mate what the hell had happened and why we were not getting arrested. He just looked at me with a smile on his face and said, Top (Army slang for First Sergeant) came from Vietnam also, and smoked hash and that he would take him a chunk of hash later to thank him for cutting us slack. I was stunned but thankful. I could tell you a lot more stories but suffice it to say that the Rose Barracks of today is much different than the Rose Barracks I remember. It was tough duty back then and not a very pleasant experience so enjoy what you have today and remember your predecessors who came before you.

Reminds me of growing up in Minnesota.

Thank you 🙏🏾

Major? m a Y o r..... editing is apparently not important to this media agency

Do you have to purchase these blinds ourselves??

Fuck off and go Home 💩

i was born in Garmisch while my father was stationed in Murnau (US Army Engineer). we also lived in Hanau, and later in Fulda. i guarantee that there is no finer duty than being stationed in Germany. time spent in Germany will change your life in so many positive ways. best of luck and best wishes!

Ami go home!

Thank you for the great information!

What struck me is how many people walked by that COULD HAVE SAVED this child's life, but probably thought "It's none of my business." Any of them could have quickly called 911 or waited by the car to observe the child's behavior to know when the situation went from bad to worse. Sure she (and all the parents she represents) made a mistake-- the worst one of her life. It's easy to point fingers, but I look at this and ask "What would I have done if I walked by that car?" Resolve now that you'll be the one who does the right thing without worrying if it's really your business or what anyone else will think. Kudos to the man (yes, actor, I know) who had the courage to do what needed to be done and DID it!

Name of song in the graduation? the like grad song?

Job well done! This is awesome. :)

thanks for share with us !

More and more German Citizens demand the US Army waging regime change wars to leave Germany!!

I wish more and more soldiers would inform themselves for whom interests the fight. > watch George Friedman Stratfor! Quit the army and go home to USA!!!

Inform yourself people / soldiers what you bring to the world: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7J8jKaduZ_PZIU.html Quit the Army and go home to USA!

I am headed there in Jan. Gotta say, when I talk to Germans about assaults in US, having a gun and rapes and drugs, man they look at me like I am from mars. Germans have a very different culture then we have. Having a gun?????? Are you kidding me? Being assaulted X number of times, WHAT???????

Same as red castle crusade
