Hey Troop!

Go to Germany!

I'm not sure what its like now but I was stationed at Rivers Barracks Geissen with 42nd bde in the 80's.

I cannot imagine nicer people than the Germans.

Wonderful times, great sceneary and archtecture, music etc.

Plus you are in the hub of central Europe accruing 5 days leave every two months.

You can hop a train and be in Paris, Milan, Barcelona or wherever.

You will bring those great memories home with you too.

Whatever you do, do not be a barracks bum and stay on post.

Get out there and see it all.

Good luck and thanks for serving!

I did 27 months in Germany. Yee Haa that was fun.

Worked in Honolulu a lot in the 90's. Can be tough being confined to the Island for some. You could be fine too. Just make sure you don't get 4th brigade, I think that is the A/B unit in Alaska.

I am 120 miles from Monterey. You are sooo close to many things, food, outdoors, oh my.

Good Luck, I would be happy in any of them.
