But we're not that old

Story/Question:

My son asked me if I ever saw the Wall. I was in the FRG -- back when there was an FRG and a DDR -- at a little place called Bad Toltz in 1981, just on a short tour of 21 days from an unclassified middle east project. I wanted to go see the Wall, but i was told that SHAFE HQ had to approve all trips into East Germany if the tourist/soldier had a TS/SCI clearance. And I was told, the process would take weeks.

Anybody know if that was true, or just the S2's way of keeping me on Flint Kasern (not that I minded too much, since the ski season had just begun).
