Back in the 80ties, "when everything was better", one of the most cool things over here to grow up have been the (hugh) REFORGER exercises. The biggest in 1982 with over 72.000 NATO troops right here in our area :D
You left home in the morning heading to school, everything was as boring as every day...

You came home in the afternoon and everything around was...



tanks in your driveway, Jeeps in your garden, helicopters in the fields beside the house...
