Serving in Garmisch, and later Berchtesgaden until I ETS in Jan 1974. Three weeks later I was teaching skiing in Northern California. I later moved back to Germany and taught skiing again in upper Bavaria, in Berchtesgaden. After moving to Bad Toelz I joined the Active Reserves from 1978 until my Retirement in 2010. In the time, as an Active Reservist, I had served in near Heidelberg, Stuttgart, Munich, Garmisch, Bad Toelz, Netherlands, and Darmstadt.

Later after 20 years of paying German taxes and eating schnitzels, I sold what I had and moved back to the US.
