military man we were there again a couple of times. Loved living there. Food was great. I tell you when you go to a restuarant and eat they really pile on the food. We lived on Heildberg Army base. I worked at the american army hospital. I worked in the civilian hiring office in the hospital. That was so much fun. I got to work mainly with germans who spoke english very well. They dealth with hiring foreign nationals. Got to meet people from all over the world. But I tell you the best times in Germany was christmas time. Love putting the shoes outside the door and Santa would fill the shoes with switchs if you were bad or candy if you were good.
