How the hell you gonna live in another country and not explore it? He’s gonna regret it.
Absolute numbskull
The dude on the right was focused on partying and blew his money before even arriving to Germany 🤦♂️ 😂 not the brightest kid.
Yeah that guy in the white is an absolute numbskull 😂
Man, you got 1,5 years left and have not been out in the country? DO IT! You'll regret not doing it!
Josef Baumann that is not true at all
Infantryman dont really get breaks like that
My boy is in Vilseck as dismount. He always wanted to go to Germany. He got there right before Thanksgiving, but now he loves it.
Small city called Nürnberg? Oh boy!!!!!!!!
Oh yes, the weather in Germany is... something special. It goes from the brightest sunshine to the worst rain you've ever seen in 2 seconds. And trains, buses and planes are always late. lol
Being stationed in Germany will make your career. I didn’t want to leave but I got out of the Army to pursue my civilian career but I will visit Germany throughout the rest of my life. It is a wonderful country
Yeah it’s woke shitshow how sold its soul to the USA uk the biggest warmongers and colonizers on earth . You call Russia the enemy
“Half my paycheck went to the red light” oh my god I almost died thank you hahahaha!
hey guys, i recently moved to colorado but lived in germnany all my life (born and raised). i was really impressed what u guys had to say about germany. pretty cool though! auf wiedersehen.

I JUST LIKE BEN ALLENS CHANNEL! and i def feel for UN-joined-forces in jedwedem weg mein freund! also! lass mich in ruhe und schreib "MIR" nicht mehr! danke und schönes hoffentliches "friedliches restleben"! und BTW, no thx needed...! (als deutscher JOSEF...) lol
Hey Ben, since I've had some time, I've spent it Binge watching your videos! Really interesting & educational. This video is 1 of my favs. Germany & Poland #1 on my bucket list. So this was great! Keep doing what your doing! 👍💪
Bosslady77 thank you! I will definitely keep it up!
Vilseck was the bomb as a soldier....that that is why I am going back as a government civilian.
That*
William what do you mean by that ? Working in Germany as a civilian with the government ?
50 years ago I was stationed in Budingen and Babenhausen, both kasernes now closed.
Was supposed to go to Vietnam, but orders were changed at the last minute. I also spent my first day in Europe in Amsterdam. Enjoyed traveling both by train and POV. Did Graf twice a year...it sucked in all seasons.
Funny I am a Texan as well. And my wife wants to go Germany. I am gonna definitely put this on my wish list.
Just graduated AIT, heading to Vilseck in a month! I’m excited
Enjoy your time here in germany, already met a lot US Soldiers in Nuremberg, they all were absolutely nice und had a Fun time Partying 😁🍻
What’s it like? Training tempo?
I have friends stationed on Vilseck...im SO GLAD to be on Graf! Better barracks,better gym,better defac,better px. A lot of people living in Vilseck come to Graf for these very reasons
Keep uploading my entire family loves watching your videos 😊😊🙏🙏 good luck 🍀 on your good work Ben
Aww Joseph 🥰❤️😍
Thank You! Really appreciate it! 💯
Joined the army. I'm going to Germany in a few months as a 92y. Bout to graduate from Fort lee. Any advice fellas?
I was stationed at Miesau Army Depot near Kaiserslautern 1968 and 1969. My advice would be for you to learn the language. I was allowed to live off base, and I rented a room from a German family who spoke no English. However, I was able to take two semesters of college German in the evenings at nearby Ramstein Air Force Base. When I came home at night they would help me with my homework. It made my experience there so much better. I was also fortunate to be able visit 14 different countries while I was there. Take advantage of this opportunity. If you don’t, when you are an old geezer like me, you’ll regret it. Best of luck.
I guess things have changed alot in the past 40 years. Obviously the military was much larger back then with many large and small bases. We arrived at Reinmain AFB 21st replacement BN ( Not sure of the number but...) Within 3 days i was at my unit a small base on a hilltop over looking the Main river in a castletown. Most of the field training was done at Grafenwohr. ( It is what it is sure cold as hell in winter but that's the Army for you) I must say to the new guys going there don't be a barracks rat ( Stay on or near post) Get out and explore and make friends with the Germans learn the language the Army offers college courses at night very cheap. Also the military as AFRC ( Armed forces recreation center) Which offers inexpensive trips all around western Europe and has hotels near the German Alps in Garmisch which is very inexpensive for the troops. Take advantage of your time overseas.
Great video man
Thank you!
You're really lucky. We have one of the warmest winters in Europe right now. lol
Signing up after hs hopefully would be nice to go overseas to a good spot like this
Which one more likely to get stationed outside the country? 11B or 19K. Currently deciding.
Thanks guys
I would say that I am kind of used to cold in general, because I just overall love the cold seasons instead the hotter ones because with the cold you just layer up but if you are like me my body is shit at regulating temperature so I stay burning up even in the summer, So I guess what I am trying to say is that my internal body temperature is always hot.
Great video Ben ! Thanks for the great content keep them coming ! What is the “ Red Light “.? Btw 😂
ThatGuy33121 it’s a place in Germany where there is a lot of ways to get in trouble and spend money lol
One word. Titties.
You can purchase ahmmm services of woman there. Its a brothel 😂
What are the Barracks like? Do you get your own room and share the common areas or do you get a room for two?
Share the common area
@@TheBenAllen. Nice, thanks for the reply!
Fort carson 12B , 4th i.d 2nd brigade, five duece !!!!!!! Hopefully will see yall soon
I have a question?? How long do you stay in Germany 🇩🇪? I go to grafenwohr ? Is it 3 years?
how is it moving household goods?
I’m not used to the heat so the cold is perfect for me
Any other 13B’s here? Wanna know if coming to Graf or Vilseck is worth it. Mainly wanna request Germany so that I can travel around but I wanna know how the units there operate before I finalize my decision.
I’m 29 be 30 in sept what jobs/mos I need to get station in Japan
Funny how he calls Nuremberg "small"... it's probably the biggest city around... Amberg and Vilseck are actually small 😁 at least he mentioned the WON and Resi... too bad he never got to know "Diva Palace" or the other good clubs from back in the days...
To everybody else: If you will ever be in germany - travel as much as you can. Most of the cities and villages in Bavaria are beautiful and really, really old. (Schloss Neuschwanstein is tremendous) The nature is amazing and you can see a lot of history (also WWII if you're interested). And that is only one from 16 german states... There is a lot to see and explore ! And maybe you are also able to visit some other countries in europe. Austria, Czech, France, Switzerland and Italy are not even that far.... You guys are already missing too much due covid-19. So with only 1,5years left, you have a lot to see 😉
Have a good time and thank you for your service
Did he just say he spend his whole money on h**kers in Amsterdam ?!? Saying that in the internet is definitely a bad idea 🤦🏻♂️
Its legal over there he will be alright
Former soldier here ...Ludendorff Kaserne, Kornwestheim( north- Stuttgart) . Hey guys- be SURE and check out the Bad Canstadt saunas/ swimming pools...very very excellent with cold baths too. It is easily accessible via the S-bahn then use the Bad Canstadt tramline...it will drop you off right on the spot. Some days are mixed women and men...some days are women only...some days are men only. No swimsuit is worn in the sauna...you only have a towel to sit on! So be prepared for nudity! Of course in the pool area you wear a swimsuit. Use the cold bath also....it will really get your circulation going!
"...also Prague, Italy..." - SERIOUSLY???
That´s explains so much :D
When my son was stationed in vilseck he fell in love with this girl. They tried to marry there but because of this c19 pandemic were unable to do get appt in Frankfurt etc. because he had to be present and USArmy had him doing fieldwork. USArmy transferred him to Killeen Texas June 2022 and she came with him on her tourist visa to help him get settled here and also married in Houston Tx Harris County Courthouse. She was only here 10 days on her tourist VISA and is back in Bavaria. Well now Jan 2023 USArmy has deployed him to Poland. My question is how can I help them so she can get her greencard process started? Can the USArmy help them with processing her application for greencard? They want to be together. We don’t know where to start.
25th signal Bn in Ktown,Kaiserslautern still open?
Privates talking about their MOSs has got to be the most cringe thing on the entire planet
I’m an 11c toooo I’m headed to Germany next month
Prague, Italy? Never been ;)
11 Chuck, good old "mortar maggot." LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure today's Germany is much different from the Germany in the 1980s, when it was still divided (East/West).
Forgets to mention the Nuremburg Ring in Nuremberg
A weeks wage?
That is like 5-10 nuts in amesterdam pay. 😂
Did they request to go to Germany?
Lmaoooo he went to the red light district 🤣
Little city,???!?!?
Going to Germany April 11
To whoever finds this helpful may it bring you peace in your endeavors at this point you probably stumbled upon this video because u already signed and have ur duty station I’m just telling u right now the glorified image you have of Germany will be completely crushed by 2CR vilseck is small if you’re single and living in the Bs you’ll be sharing a very small room with another soldier ps the barracks have been there since the 40s so their falling apart op tempo is ridiculous holemfelds is absolutely terrible super cold winters hella hot summers that u wish were longer so u don’t get to train in the snow the closets form of civilization it’s not even that great pretty far from vilseck is Graf if u don’t have a car it’s a bitch to get around a 45 min drive especially if you’re a new soldier at this point you’ve probably realized u made a mistake just remember that ur paid in dollars and ur in Europe using euros so not mention ur being underpaid if you pay with ur debit card in Germany ur bank will charge u extra to covert ur dollars into euros so you’re already spending a tad bit more if life brought to you this place idk what u did in life to deserve it or what ur paying for but you’re ganna hate ur life until u ets in my personal opinion and probably one of the realest opinions if I do say so myself 2CR is one of the worst units in the ARMY period I’m out this bitch
Graduation is tomorrow
Is there any way to get stationed there or is it random?
Mostly random
After your first contract you can talk to your retention NCO and request anywhere, hopefully you get it.
You can reinlist for that’s what most people do.
they now have an option called option 19 that you can get attachedd to your contract which allows you to guarantee your first duty station. I just got back from meps with Germany as mine
@@elijah2565 ayo bro I’m prolly doing the same thing, are you leaving this summer or next summer
Try to learn a bit of the language! Everyone here appreciates it, even if it isn't perfect ❤
Kid in the white is a little chad
youve gone to the completly wrong place for partying in germany. :D u r in the middle of nowhere xD i didnt even knew that thios city exicts .
( sry 4 my bad english ) :D
Second❤️
If I speak German will that increase the likelihood that I would be stationed in Germany?
No. Slots are filled by job type and what is needed.
K town Kaiserslautern anyone?
Firstly, it's pronounced "Fills-egg".
I’m from Canada, I was born in the cold
I just doint understand Alphabet slang in da army , I mean what does lgbtqts mean Can they speak more English
Nuremberg small city? 530,000 residents, look Google Waco Texas 136,000, Miami Florida 450,000 residents, that's Small Town !!
