moving to germany?

[dgdavidson]

i think the turks are more bad than the mexican. most of the turks (not everyone) are talking big. where i live its very heavy but if you say something about this public then you are a "nazi" :mrgreen: ... thats germany :)

i like some of them and maybe 2% of them are cool but the rest are assholes.

Verdammte türken, die waren auch vor 20 jahren asslöcher! Mehr mexikaner brauchen wir. Die kochen auch besser!

i'm a 21B right now, but will be reclassing as part of the switch to active.

strongly considering 63B- i figure "mechanics" are another thing needed everywhere.

Then you are in a good position. You need to research any job that interests you. Not from the recruiter, but from soldiers that actually do the job. I was a 62B (engineer mechanic). It wasn't bad, but I did alot of late night wrenching and I lived in 10w oil. 90% of military operators beat the shit out of the stuff they drive and you will be the sucker that has to fix it.

Picking your MOS is the biggest decision you will make in the military, do your homework. Don't listen to the recuiter, he's there for the Army and his quota.

It doesn't matter where you go.....at this point there are two types of soldiers...... The ones in Iraq, and the ones getting ready to go to Iraq. Units that are deploying have priority on all new soldiers

Your MOS is the key. All units need pencil pushers, cooks, medics, fuelers, and commo. So if you are one of those you will have the most options. If you have a rare MOS (the kind that get bonuses) your options will be limited.

nice job for mike if he gets enough money for it :mrgreen:

Yea, I'm just hating. I'm always jealous when he tells me about the cars that he gets to drive. I'm stuck in the 90s and that bitch gets to drive the new shit.

No biggie though, I'll have an '08 335 one day.....say 2028;)

If I was going back to active duty, I would try to get into a US traing base (ie NON Deployable)

If you make it to Bamberg, I'll be there to welcome you. (current job)

Nico, Mike is just a tire changer.....BMW lets him torque a lug nut every now and then. (That lucky bitch)

[AC Nico]

I work for the lokal BMW Autohaus. Been out of the army for 7 years.

cool thats nice. as a mechanican?

[kommissar]

you can't buy your gas in the base? i think thats cheaper or? do you still work for the army?

Hah, you said "I think that's cheaper, or?" I remember German friends trying to speak English and doing the same thing, it's hilarious (plus the girls we were with in Germany thought it was cute, so keep it up).

and yes Nico, I have to buy the expensive ass german gas here to fill up my pickup.

yeah, Stuttgart doesnt have any better weather, It sux ass there too. just as much rain as everywhere else here.

If I remember right, I think Stuttgart is downsizing heavily. Germany isnt bad, heck, I did 6 years in the army here, and now have been here for over 7 out of the Army.

I am in southern germany. In Bamberg, about 1 hour from Grafenwoehr- which is more or less going to be the center of the U.S. Army europe.

Stutgart is the home of the German rap scene!!! other than that, I think Benztown is pretty much the same as anyother here.

what is your MOS? that is what is going to decide where your going. and I am 90% sure you wont be able to pick your duty station here, you willl arive ath the 21st replacement(or whatever it is called now) and they will tell you there where your going.

[Skoobeesnak]

I am guessing they are stationed around Kaiserslautern. I was stationed there between '89 - '92 and since there were so many US Army and Air Force bases in the area nearly everyone spoke english. At one point I remember the statistic was 40% American in that area of course this was at the height of the cold war.
