Good stuff, cant wait for this discussion.

PS: Adler, r u actually a Yankee?

My mother is German and my fathre is Austrian. He was adopted by an American family when he was a baby and when he turned 18 he became a Naturalized US citizen. I hold both German and US citizenship. I was born and raised in Germany only living 5 years in the United States, and I currently am serving in the US Army.

I like to consider myself a German whos blood flows Red, White, and Blue.

AH! That's cool! In Ansbach, ther's a military basement?

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Basement....LOL

Yes there are actually 4 Military Installations in Ansbach. Barton Barracks, Bleidorn Kasserne, Shipton Barracks and Katterbach Army Airfield/Bismark Kasserne.

Shipton is a ADA installation with Patriot Missle Battaries. I am stationed at Katterbach (Bismark is across the street from Katterbach and we consider it the same post). Katterbach Army Airfield is where I work.

Basement....LOL

Why are you laughing at me. I wasn't born half yank as you! What's the correct form? Military Base, right?

 

[trackend]

Dont you let Alder take the piss out of you pisis, I was in Frankfurt Hann airport last year theres lots of ex US millitary basements there.

Only because it was funny, I was not trying to insult you.

Yes it is Military base.

 

[Pisis]

No way of insulting me, I'm not a pussy though... I was just joking. I know it's a Military Base, but can't find out how it differs from "basement", unless it isn'ť a shorter version...

 

[evangilder]

Actually, in normal terms a basement is the area under a house. At least in American English.

 

[plan_D]

It's that in English as well.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Well we all had an English language lesson today!
