Additionally the Queen of the Netherlands provides them with free coffee and small Xmas gifts every year. How many of these were double-checked against the infamous PCS-tool every servicemember uses to plan their next move? You just gotta be on your DoD computer network to access I spent nine years in Germany, PCS-ing, visiting, shopping, and working at many of these places, so I have an exceptionally good idea of what is available and what it costs military members to live there.

Ask someone next time How Kadena is tops is beyond me. Curfew for the last 1. Besides the ocean which gets old and scuba, there isn't a whole lot to do.

After a year of being here, you have done it, ate it, and seen it all. Depending on the Yen rate, it can be expensive. The people are looking to rip you off whenever possible. I understand the economy is different here, but they won't negotiate on certain houses because they know who will pay for them.

I lived in germany for sometime and yall are giving Greg such a hard time. Living in germany we have met very few who like it there as well. Trust me my husband and I always try to be positive and look for the good in everything and I honestly have to say I agree with greg. My husband works with a lot of germans and he has told me crazy things about there work ethics as well Even to the point of them telling my littles that they were stupid Americans.

We have never been rude or nasty in any way. It is dirty I agree they do not have garage cans anywhere. We are making the best out of it but unfortunately greg is correct. Have you ever given it a thought and said hey, maybe the locals are rude because the U. S soldiers before have displayed worse behavior?? I remember the Army guys stationed there a few years ago went a around starting bar fights and so on so yes the locals are going to label any uniform wearing person as a bad person.
