(Attached) what it looked like some time 2005-2010 as they were deconstructing the entire Kaserne. The tower would have been behind and over my right shoulder in the first pic.
Sorry for the OT.

No wonder you're such a great source of info for those on this site looking to do electrical and other mods. I was USAF in the early-70s so I can claim 'Vietnam Era Vet' status but never went offshore. First-tour air force personnel back then remained stateside. My father was a B-24 bomber pilot during WWII, was shot down over Holland, spent 5 months with the Resistance around Rotterdam and eventually captured during an escape attempt thru Belgium. Spent the rest of the war POW in Stalag Luft III - five months after the Great Escape happened there. His military story, not mine, is the one I share with others when the topic comes up. I even wrote his story down and published it since he wouldn't.It was an honor to serve.
M14 Rifle? No, M16A1 old school. We carried a full combat loadout when walking perimeter patrol and had a rack of them and lots more ammo and grenades. LOL.
Truck? Not your everyday M880. It was a 4-door W200 purpose built to house a hand-me-down AF aircraft radio system repurposed by the US Army to support our SSB (HAM) fixed site radios which were also just modified Motorola radios. This was all in support of the primary microwave site-site communications network I maintained. We supported the comms for a nuclear capable field artillery unit back in the cold war era. There were ~800 of these up and down the eastern front.
We pulled out a stuck Unimog more than once with that Powerwagon. I got a ticket in it once on the Autobahn. Pulling the genset trailer @90MPH.

During a trip to Europe around 2009 I ended up on the Autobahn NE of Munich with a rental car and darn near got creamed until I learned to hug the right side and get outa the way of other's screaming along at well over 100mph. Hell, you may have been one of them! Ha ha.
Cheers!
Absolutely love my Olive Green PW.I went into the dealer today to price out a 2022 HD Ram in Olive Green Pearlcoat. If you ordered your 2022 HD Ram in May of this year, you were able to select Olive Green Pearlcoat as a color. Now, you aren't able to select it on the Ram build webpage and the dealer isn't able to select it in their system. Really sucks, because that color was so awesome in person...if only they made the Longhorn in that color...
It really is a sexy colorAbsolutely love my Olive Green PW.
Only Power Wagon and the Rebel. No others unfortunately.It appears that olive green is once again available on the 2023 power wagon. Not sure about other models.
That color is freaking sweet!
