Want to introduce myself - Hello from Germany

[ClarkKent]

Welcome to the board. I lived at Ramstein air base for 4 years, my father was a military police officer. I was only 6 years old (now 28) when I lived there. While I lived there I did speek germen, but I can not say a single word of it now.

I think many of you know Ramstein air base. 1988 there was a terrible disaster when some aircrafts falling down and kill at least 70 people and injured 346 while an airshow: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramstein_airshow_disaster

By the way: my english is also not the best, so i use sometimes a translator ^_^

I won't embarrass myself by trying my ancient German, so you'll just have to suffer my English. I was stationed at Rhein-Main Air Base near Frankfurt for four years (87-91) and was with USAF fire rescue. Our only regret is ever leaving Europe; it was wonderful and easily the best four consecutive years of a 20 year career. Since then, my son has been stationed at Spangdahlem and Ramstein (also with the Air Force). The '88 air show incident was a horrible day; many of my friends were stationed at Ramstein and to this day won't discuss it. I was supposed to go with my wife and 3 sons (then 5, 3, and 1), but Providence intervened and we didn't attend. If any of you ever get the chance to visit Europe, do it! Language is not a barrier; believe me, their English is probably much better than your German (or French, Dutch, Gaelic, etc). Medix, wilkommen am EMTLife, mine freund!
