K-town

[Defender]

I see MANY posts on this board where people refer to Knoxville as K-Town. Every time I see that, I initially think they are referring to the K-Town I knew in Germany, Kaiserslautern! For many years it was the largest American Miliotary Community outside the US. I think it may still be. It comprised several USAF bases and sites and numerous Army facilities as well. When i was there the last time, there was over 70,000 military and dependents in that area. I was assigned to the 569th US Forces police Squadron there, but was transferred to Ramstein Air Base. I'm sure anybody here who has served in Germany knows what I'm talking about. No point to this story, just remembering a place far away, lol.

I was stationed in Baumholder on my last tour in Germany and went to Ramstein AFB twice a week for college classes. Good memories too!

I lived in a small town named Godelhousen, near Kusel which is near Baumholder....used to ride my bike across the mountain to Baumholder alla time. I loved it in Germany. Wouldn't wanna live there permenantly, but I coulda used a few more years. loved the German women, beer, food and with me being a history buff, and a WWII buff, I was in hog heaven most of the time, lol.

I stayed in Kaiserslautern for Christmas of '07! Used to go there all the time back in the mid 80's when my dad was stationed in Mannheim.
