No, Tom. Haven't been to Europe since 1983 but I sure wish I could ! I would love to see Amberg again, especially the small park and paths along the River. I wonder if the Weinstubbe is still there ? I sure could use some hi fat German food again before I croak. And the Bier, oh YES, the Bier. I met a German tourist in Laughlin, Nv. last year and he told me that since the re-unification Germany is not as CLEAN as it used to be. He says that the " Easterners" like to spray grafitti on the walls. I was shocked, to say the least. He had served in the BGS in the early 70's !

I remember drawing about $ 63 a month as a Pvt. in 1962. Low $ 80 as an Spec 4. in 63 and 64.
No wonder I didn't re-up.

Just looked at the pay scale, an E-4 under 2 years. The Base is $1,986.30, not counting the other amounts received. I can recall receiving only 250. a month when I retired as a E-6 in 1969.

STEVE-O, what makes you think that Dear Leader ( or McCain for that matter ) WANTS our Border Problem fixed ? I think that the Feds are using Arizona as a safety valve to relieve Mexico of their excess poor ! Otherwise, those poor SOB's might have a long needed Revolution. The same ELEVEN FAMILIES own just about everything in Mexico and have since President Madero was assassinated by General Huerta in 1917. Viva Villa ! Viva Zapata ! See what happened to them ?

Dennis, you must remember the prices back then. I rented a one bedroom apartment in the German Hi-rise building right across the street from the NCO family housing in 1968. $50 per month. The furniture I got free from the warehouse in Graf. When I made E 5 I was getting $540 a month and my wife got a $150 allotment. We ate at the Roma Cafe almost every night !
