Hedgehog Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 See if you can pad out your stay to encompass Oktoberfest. Which is actually held in September, for some reason only ze Deutschlanders know about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted September 13, 2008 Members Share Posted September 13, 2008 The Octoberfest ends with the beginning of October, it's to celebrate the end of the harvesting season. Now that our national day is October 3rd, the day of the reunification, it usually gets extended until the first weekend in October. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted September 17, 2008 Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 Shouldn't that read "ABCANZ"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12Alfa Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 Shouldn't that read "ABCANZ"?One would think so, however it has been explained to me "we are a combined unit" or "we are just guests".:redface:We started the simulated training today, miles etc. Got to do my thing and some Inf stuff.Seem to be fitting in to the plt rather well. A armoured trained CIMIC sgt working within a LAVII Plt using hummer gun trucks, dosen't get more weird than that now does it.:confused:Seen A-10's F-16's and German (i think) Typhoons today over head.:shocked:stay safe! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
