And then I can finally leave Germany. I am so excited, I can almost taste the salt water already.

11 years, and yes I have been stationed over here with the military. Army to be exact! I'm a staff sergeant promotable, and will be taking a cush reserve job in a sergeant first class position. I'll be monitoring the military police on a huge war game simulator.

Wow, Tracey, I just figured out his avatar too.

To answer your questions: I had my car over here, this is where I bought it. It was broken in on the autobahn! I've had her up way past 160 on several occasions. I am not from Texas, but that is where I'll be going to school. Plus I've been there before and I like it. My cousins used to live in Friendswood. My Uncle still does. I cannot fizarking wait to get back. I'm sick of Germany, but I did get to see just about all of Europe, so I can't really complain. I'm not sure where exactly I'll be working, but I know it's within like 5 to 10 miles of the Spring area.

There is never anything to do here, except travel, which is cool but gets old when you've seen everything already. London, Paris, Prague, Budapest, Bucharest, Vienna, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Denmark, and a few other places. There's really nothing like the States though. I just miss it really bad. Even the autobahn gets old- especially after a couple blown engines.

Never went to Chroizburgh, but the beers in Belgium ROCKED! I still love Amberbock the best though. :mmm:

It is rare Josh, but many people do it, and now they offer more and more incentives to stay. Hey Agrv8d, where is that anyway?
