Farewell from Germany

[MikeK]

Hello!

I retired as a civilian with the U.S. Government last year and remained in Germany. I'm in the process of setting up my basement workshop and found Ryan's BF/MFT workbench on Youtube and the Festool Owners Group.

While I won't be building any cars in my basement, I plan on making a lot of furniture and furnishings for my house. Making a smaller version of the BF/MFT is my next shop project.

Lots of us have been through various parts of the country. I spent a month or so there on my last deployment.
Ramstein/Landstuhl area.

How many people recognize the old ASA emblem? My dad was CSM of USASAE back in the day, later on CSM of all of ASA/Inscom. Spent all of my formative years in Germany. Great place and times.

I'm near Darmstadt, which is about 20km south of Frankfurt. I've been to Ramstein and Landstuhl many times.

I was ASA when I joined the Army in 1975 and INSCOM when I left in 1979. I retired as a DAC with INSCOM last year. I'm always impressed when someone recognizes the ASA emblem.

It's been an enjoyable ride until recently, but the time has come for me to take a break. The constant Cloudflare interruptions are too distracting. Even typing this short message required two Cloudflare verifications and one "Document expired" notice before I could post the reply.



I'll check back in a few months to see if the AI threat has subsided to the point that the Cloudflare countermeasure is relaxed.

Enjoy your hiatus!
