Hi George Formby , thank you

you have been stationed not far from where I used to serve close to German border in
Marianske Lazne-Klimentov military base ( anti-aircraft rocket unit , tank unit ) build in 1950
which was closed for good in 2004 and the whole city was renamed .
Bang ! I will likely never see it again , as I moved in 1995 in to the U.S. , so even if I go
to see it sometimes in the near future , there is not much left to be seen anymore .
Memories gone .
I was actually very lucky because my unit was about to be send to Russian huge desert
Karakum & Kyzyl Kum for live rocket to air target exercises :roll: but four months before
we were about to leave for Russia , I was luckily transfered to another unit because
of my former marriage status ( 18 years old ) which saved me from going to Russia as my
new unit just returned from there two months ago and they were veeeeery unhappy with
the whole experience in the desert and live rockets shooting exercise :lol:
I was one lucky SOB !!
I feel sad and sorry to those many families of young mostly 18 - 20 years old soldiers who
didn't survived their military service back then and tragically died . R.I.P

Amen to that stupid communist created Warsaw Pact !!!


Here is how far apart we were serving on other sides of the border between
Germany and Czechoslovakia

@ comisar91 , thank you

Merry Christmas
