my crappy times weren't all bad, I spent three years wearing civilian clothes while on active duty in Germany.
I skied the alps, saw where the wall was, visited paris - louvre, eiffel tower, etc.
one of my more memoriable, was a trip through Italy, while working. But the stop in Rome had some cancelations, so we were able to rent motor scooters and site see (me and three other buddies) then partied with the marines at the embassey that night, it was a blast.
Yup, thank you tax payers, it was on your dime, and I was getting enough per diem that it paid for everything that trip, even the fun.
