I'm really glad for him that he went skiing solo and met other skiers, locals I assume.

One of the benefits of military service is the opportunity to meet another part of the world.

Even in places where there is war there are areas of beauty and people worth meeting.

Safe travels and stay for your son!

I was stationed in Munich years ago. It was just over an hour drive to the heart of the Alps in Austria. Great times. Does the Army still have the recreation center in Garmisch?

Yes they do and the edelweiss hotel as well!

I know most probably do not care, but it took him like 3 days to finally arrive due to country hopping! His first comment - this shit feels like the real military!
