Default Army2000 in Germany

Hello folks,
I'm currently in Germany. Arrived here today. I was wondering if we had members near Weisbaden or Frankfurt. I'll be here until 29 Oct. Take care folks and I'll be sure to post some photos of my trip.

Yea, with all that's been going on the past few weeks, it's hard to stay in touch with the forum.

I was stationed at Coleman Barracks in Mannheim from '90-'94 ... great city! Didn't have a vette then, but sure wish I did ... Thanks for your service Army2000, it is much appreciated!

Be careful of the Hefeweizen ... it sneaks up on you! lol

Welcome to Germany, I'm down on Ramstein

If they give you any time off, head up to the Nurburgring at least once. I'm hoping to make 1 or 2 more trips before the end of the year.

Man, that brings back memories for me when I was stationed in Germany! My time was split between Aschaffenburg and Darmstadt.
