I'm late to the discussion, but I think you made an Excellant choice, especially now that you have a job offer. As a herc driver who did the last three years at Ramstein, I can tell you duty life at Ramstein is an utter nightmare. Off duty it is the best place in the world, trouble is the leadership manages to work you/deploy you/put you on call so much you are lucky if you are able to take two weeks of leave a year and get one weekend a month to do anything fun, and after working 12-14 hour days the whole week do you even have the energy??

I just seperated with 6 weeks of terminal leave and sold over 30 days of leave - not by choice, forced into it by being deployed so much and having leave Cancelled Multiple times - often at the last minute. What I'm saying is - Germany is awesome but you never are allowed to enjoy it. Granted I was not OSA so they may have it a little better but the problems are integral to Ramstein/USAFE and are Not changing. I noticed the people saying the assignment was good one were either there many years ago or were not Herc drivers. Just food for thought for any herc drivers that may consider going there and good on you for your decision I think you will be happy with it - you can always visit Germany and will actually be able to relax, travel and have fun.
