Best Moment I submitted a letter to my Commander to be assigned as the NCOIC of the Security Police Investigations. I did not get the position. However, I got assigned as a Security Police Liaison to AFOSI Detachment 7014 instead.
Other Memories While living off base, renting an apartment from an ederly German couple I got to know them real good. They couldn't speak English and I couldn't speak German. However, me and the elderly gentleman would set in his living room talking about politics, religion, sports, television shows or what ever. Even though we could not understand one another we got the gest of the coversations and could understand that. During the winter I would come home after a midnight shift and he would be outside next to his Mercedes-Benz. He would call me over to him and open his trunck and bring out a bottle of some flavored schnupps and offered me a drink to warm me up and make me sleep better. One night my family and I were sitting down to dinner eating corn on the cob. He entered the apartment unannounced and saw what we were eating and looked at us in surprise. He shook his head and said no, in German, and said that corn on the cob was for pigs. We laughed and explained it to him then he shook his head yes and left.
