I lived at Katterbach Army Airfield (near Nurmberg) for 4.5 years. I don't know your specific circumstances, but I brought home a wife, so that's something to do...

In all seriousness, you MUST go drive the Nurburgring Nordschleife. Even if you don't have a great car, it's still amazing. I suggest you learn as much of the course as possible using Gran Turismo 4 before going, as this track is absolutely terrifying in the best possible way.

Take advantage of every opportunity to travel. Here's a list of the places I saw while stationed in DE:

Moscow, Oktoberfest, Paris, Prague, The Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes Museums, Snowboarding in the Alps, London, Saint Petersburg, Berlin, Krakow, Stockholm, Budapest, Bratislava, Venice, Amsterdam, Florence, the beaches of Normandy, Cologne, the Champagne region, and a million little things in between. It was an absolutely priceless time in my life. PM me if you have any specific questions.

Do you know specifically where you'll be stationed?
