  • Hello everyone once again.  I went downtown Heidleburg over the weekend and wow the differences in culture really showed.  In Germany you will get pushed, cut in front of, and runned over.  The natives here are not doing this to be rude but they have places to go and waste no time getting there.  There were many people on the streets for the festival going on (not Oktoberfest).  I loved the music and smell of food.  Everywhere we turned was a different form of music being played.  I heard American golden oldies, African drums, Caribbean drums, Native American wood instruments, and German alternative.  It was awesome.  Yes, there was beer, but I had a cup of hot red spiced wine called Guhnwein.  It tasted good to me, but what do I know? 


    My unit is really cool and ironically enough I'll be doing the same jobs I did in Carson.  I am the armorer, supply clerk, and mail clerk.  The commander asked me if I wanted to be NBC also and I asked him if I could see if I could handle what was already on my plate and he just smiled and nodded.  Whew!!!


    I'm having a blast and have already met a cool person.  Her name is Tamera and she and I are so much alike that the only difference between us is my lacking eyesite.  It's like hanging out with myself.  She has a good heart and I already know that she isn't out to use me or hurt me. 


    So here's to friendship, a new unit, and of course crazy fun!!!


    God bless and take care everyone,

  • Awesome!!! I heard Germany is great, hoping to see some pix up from you soon! hehehe. I have a lot of friends stationed in Germany, must be fun. Ah I am so frustrated with all these election things going on here, all these hippies thinking they know whatthe hell they are talking about, however they are so off the subject, ah anyway. Well, I am in school right now so I have to jet, but I am glad to know you are all well and safe.

    God Bless,

    ciao 

  • It's like hanging out with yourself?  Well, don't you do that all the time anyhow?

    It's good to hear that things are going so well.

  •  Glad to hear everything is working out for you, Finally you're happy.

             I found out that there is a different telephone ratio between your location and mine, The way they  explained it to me ( the telephone company that is ) that for every one minute of your time it will cost me 14 minutes of my time, they call it a 14 to one ratio. Also now if you were living in a house and had a House telephone the ratio would change again it would be three to one ratio, they consider a cell phone a mobile telephone.

              Well anyway all I wanted to do was wish you a  Happy Birthday and watch out for the black beer it is totally different from our beer, but enjoy anyway, I will talk to you later.

         Love Dad
