My great-uncle probably bombed it once. I'll have to check his list.

Nah, did multiple rotations there when I was a company commander while stationed in Germany.

"Hey, even though we have our own signal troops, let's get the local Signal Battalion to send a company over to help train our troops during our rotation."

That's where I was introduced to room temperature unfiltered beer for the first time as a young man. Changed my life, never had a problem with a warm last sip after that. I always liked how you could return you case of bottles for the next one. The summer before 9/11, 3 week stint with the guard.

I've definitely been to worse training areas. McGregor Range outside Ft Bliss and pretty much anywhere in Korea come to mind.

I hope not. 2CR is a disgrace to the army.

Yep. Hohenfels has that sweet bowling alley with the bar in the back. We were in there every other night drinking and bowling or shooting pool.

Really liked the German-American Cantina on post.
May have been one of my drunkest nights ever when we were playing hammerschlagen with a bunch of Georgians (country not state).
