My first duty station in the Army Security Agency was as a communications tech, 32G20, in Sinop, Turkey. While stationed in Sinop I also went to Seventh Army NCO Academy in Bad Tolz, Germany, there I was the AUSA Award Winner. I then went to my next duty station in Fukuoka, Japan from there I went to Augsburg, Germany, then on to more communications school in Franfurt, Germany, IG Farben Building, while there I also went to the Summer Olympics, then I volunteered and was posted to Wobeck Det K, Shoeningen, then BRD, Bundes Republic Deutschland, West Germany, the wall was still very much up and the East Germans would periodically blow up a section of mines to replant them, the tank traps pointed East to keep the people in East Germany, Lower Saxony is techically in the British zone, hum, old history now. I took History of the Soviet Union from a Professor from Berkley (University of Maryland) in a castle that had been a SS Installation during WWII, while we did intercept on Moscow Taxi Cab Drivers among others, ever wonder why Soviet T-72 Tank Drivers are short?
