FWIW - El Paso and Alamogordo are both good places to find great German food and conversation for those wanting to enjoy a taste of Germany and practice their language skills.

OBTW - I sure miss Altenstadt. I remember when we were undergoing team HALO training there and one of the guys landed in a mist sump at a dairy near the DZ after a combination of a not so great 'spot' from an MC-130E and a breezy day - the riggers were pissed about their chutes and we made him hose down before that chilly ride back to Tölz in the back of the M35.
