How joining the USMNT allowed him to reconnect with his dad. Never heard the full story before, but it's fantastic.

quote:

The elevator slowed to a stop, and the doors opened. "I get out, and I'm looking, looking," Jermaine said. Then he spotted him. How could he not recognize him? This man who looks so much like himself, the same nose and mouth. The same furrowed brow and intense eyes. This man who's also looking for him.

Jermaine collapsed to the floor, crying.

Off topic, but good advice: If anyone in the SB is black and in the Military PCS to Germany. You will have so many European girls throwing themselves at you.

ETA: Wrap it up, but if you don't make sure he plays for the USMNT. I guess call your team/ squad leader, parents/JAG, then Jurgen so he can get a jump on him.

Germany is all of Europe?

It would be in Europe.
Germany isn't the only European country that girls love black Americans.

and it is, of course, but say Germans.

Some (few) Europeans fop all US Americans in, when speaking of their visit to Miami or New York, and I correct them, as you can´t generalize as per the entire country.

I get a kick out of people who´ve been to an island in Greece, or the big island on the other side of the English Channel, and broadbrush their experiences as ´Europe´.

I was going to list all the European countries, but then it hit me how big of a doucher you are.
BTW by saying "European girls would throw themselves at you", would still be correct since a German girl would be European the same as a girl from Memphis would be American.
Your uppity sense of entitlement is not a trait people find good.

If you´ve really been there for any amount of time, you´d know it´s different. Very different.

Just trying to clear some things up. I have no idea where the ´entitlement´ part comes from. I may be overboard on this, but it´s probably due to not saying anything everytime somebody equates some isolated experience in a region of a country as Europe.

I very well may be, but let´s immerse ourselves in your vast expert experience, shall we?

Ok, what's your experience with black service members in Europe?

I have met many that while stationed in Germany would travel anywhere from Ireland to Turkey and all said how well the girls loved African Americans. Having a Squad leader stationed in Italy and hearing his experiences and crazy stories.

Hell our retention NCO talked my friend in to re-upping with stories about European girls.

Now you´re starting to substantiate your initial assertation.

I am shocked SCH hasn't chimed in to assure this is all true.
