Really love this content Lewis. Worked for NATO, in Germany from 89, to 91. So this stuff fascinates me. 👍

@Onthecouch-r5r Infantry myself. 1st Btl, Argyle's. Majority of it in Elizabeth barrack's in Minden. Joined the, Pioneer labour support unit soon after leaving. As i had a German Frauline & wanted to stay in Germany. I really liked it there. One of my regrets was never getting to Berlin. As i wasn't far away from it in the Pioneers. Was near Paderborn with them. 👍✌️

@Onthecouch-r5r I got to work with several other regiment's, once i joined the Pioneers. Even though i was still employed by BAOR. Discipline was a lot less strict. I still remember my CO. A Portuguese Major, Hernandez, who was NATO liaison. I still look back to those times fondly.

@Onthecouch-r5r Indeed. A great start for a young man. Our military isn't what it was these day's. Pretty sure the British fighting spirits still there. But politics being what they are, has left us the bare bones of an army. And the state of the world right now is no time to have our army reduced to an almost token force. All the best mate. 👍

@Onthecouch-r5r No. I was, "lucky" enough to have picked up a shoulder injury which took almost 18 months to heal. Nearly ended up being discharged because of it but a sympathetic MO. And good record kept me in till my contract was up. And i still can't ski, lol.

@adamfROMIOWA It truly was. I still remember flood's of East Germans, in there Trebants, (pardon spelling), moving into West Germany.
