Veterans can be sooo cool

i like to hear my adoptive dad talk about his time served ....he served US Army vietnam era but didnt go to Vietnam....instead he was stationed in Germany and he tells me stories of how ...i guess you can choose to live on base in the barricks or off base .......well he chose to live off and he told of how some guys had attitudes towards the German ppl and called them "rads" in a bad way........wel by living off the base he was exposed to a beautiful cuture and learned some German ......he ran a lot of convoys that he called duece and halfs....and he said during that time Levi jeans were a hot item in Germany that ppl were making big money off of.

before Germany he stationed in Alabama which he says is culture shock coming from Colorado...not exactly war stories ....but still good stories.

Basic training was interesting to hear about
