Something that I never understood when I was stationed in Germany was how some guys would simply go to the PX and buy ----ty American beer.

They where normally the same ones who stayed on base most of the time
what a shame you get to live in another culture for at least two years (for free) and you learn nothing about it.Beer Gardens where just one part of German culture that I liked and the beer actually has taste which is nice.

I loved Germany in fact I tried to land a civilian DoD job at my base when I was leaving the Air Force but some other jerk beat me out.

Well he was a 20 year Air Force and he just retired and DOD favors them for jobs over others.That job payed $100,000+ I'd would have stayed in Germany for many years if I'd have landed that job.I think lots of US military guys "go native" in Germany.Many black guys I knew preferred Germany to the US especially.Dont get me wrong I like the US but I dont know how to explain it really Germany just felt like home to me and still does I guess it was the country side I like the woods.

I think Im getting of topic sorry.
