Thank you, Linda. I find your posts very informative and interesting. I lived in Germany for about 6 months in 1970. In Heidelberg. My brother was in the Army stationed in Mannheim. It was a really nice experience.

Hi Sherry, I took classes at the University in Mannheim a long time ago. I was living in Ludwigshafen at the time. A friend of my mom's son was stationed in Trier. I would visit him sometimes.
A former colleague of mine took a teaching job with the DOD and moved her whole family to Germany. Of course the military paid for their entire move. Part was flown and part was shipped and all was packed by the shipping company. She and her Canadian husband who works on tech from home, have 4 children who were all under 6 when they moved 2 falls ago. She moved to Germany because they realized that they could not afford college for their children in the US. She knew my daughter was going to Uni in Germany and that there is no tuition, just fees. My daughter's fee for this semester was 299€. It includes a huge discount on the Germany transportation pass, and discounts for a lot of things.
Where I am living there is no base. My husband grew up in a small Northern German city that had US, British, Dutch and German bases. When the Dutch and US left the area it really affected the economy of their city.
