The visit was an interesting experience, like a short trip to America. It is fascinating to see that there is a "small American city" on the ground and that the soldiers and their relatives do not necessarily have to leave Base. There is everything there, what you need for daily life. Some German small town does not have such a comprehensive leisure offer.
Great place to be when visiting Space A...excellent service.
Was in the forest enjoying a hike when I almost had a stroke because of the noise of their killing machines. Horrible.
Stationed there 14 years all tolled. It certainly has grown! I was there in the late 60s, 8 years in the 70s, and a lot of the 80s. I lived in Kindsbach, Ramstein housing, Vogelweh housing while at Kapaun AS, and bought a home at 105 Pariser Strasse, Kaiserslautern. Moved to Bonn and lived in Officer Transient cottage across from the American Embassy where I worked. A personal family tragedy in America resulted in me leaving Europe and my Germany. I would love to revisit but am 90 % disabled veteran and dont have the funds. Iche Liebe Deutschland! !
Ramstein is only a good base because its centralized in Europe.
A space for great activities for young and old. For example: kill innocent people by drone attack and spy on innocent German citizens. Something for everyone and the best a top canteen.
These are the Days, When you Wish Your Bed Was Already Made..
Easily one of the best assignment I ever had the pleasure of getting while I was in the Air Force. The base facilities while I was stationed there in the late 90's were adequate. When I came back through early 2000's they were outstanding. The only thing I could say that is lacking would be the lodging facilities off the main base. The satellite lodging facilities are old and need to be gutted and refurbished, which I believe were in the works. The Main AAFES exchange is huge and the shops in the concourse are nice. The food court is just like one back home in the US. If you get an assignment here consider yourself lucky. Enjoy the area be courteous to the nationals on and off the base and represent the US, USAF, and US Army in a positive manner. On a side note who is this "Ami" other commenters are asking to leave and go home?
Wheeeeee occupier and such. Worried citizen and such. We also have hollowman in the US so where is the problem? xD. Occupiers and such.
"Never war again from German soil"? Probably nothing with Ramstein within Germany!
It's a nice air base there is always a ton of things going on. Hope the toxic leadership has made it's way elsewhere. It's near a few small villages that have plenty to offer. Kaiserslautern is a short drive on the A6 and it has most things you could want. Its Europe so get out and travel if at all possible.
Drone warfare breeds terrorists he does not fight them
Best places to live around in the KMC. Little America in the heart of Europe
Due to the airbase, many Germans have a job that is safe. The Americans spend their money in German shops and those from the East moan, the Americans should go away. Lol. You have no idea what the airbase means to humans.
And clearly the weapons, that's also a MILITARY airbase
How can you visit the base? You have to have a contact?
The prices are way too high. I stayed only one night and split the cost with a buddy. Service is great. No water?
I'm still confused ...
2 star deduction!
Interesting place, beautiful surroundings and inconspicuous but very militaristic place.
What else does the US have to do here? The other Allies have already left, but the US needs to be in control everywhere, and at the same time, it's running a torture camp in Cuba.
Ramstein Air Base is really great, visiting here immediately feels a bit like being on vacation in the USA. The whole area is really very beautiful and well developed, there are lots of opportunities to do something, to eat out or to buy something. The people you meet there are all super friendly. However, you can only perceive all these things if you are visiting there with someone who is also employed by the Army, NATO or the Air Force in order to get access to all these things. Still really good.
Thinkin about going out to airbase... woundering what it is like out there..?
I actually wanted to scoff at the beautiful Planes, but then scoffed at a Wikileaks video ...
I'm glad that I live with such a beautiful base. Thank you for this amazing base.
Great place to set up home base for some European site seeing!
Im loving how all the negative comments in here are the personal opinions of people and not their actual experience at the base
I THOUGHT this section was for folks, whether Civilian or Military, to write some USEFUL reviews about what the Base has to offer, the Command, how easy it is to get around, etc. I wasn't thinking this section would denigrate into the Locals eviscerating we Service Members just for...well, being in the US Military. This section reminds me of the "Comments" section of YouTube on any random video about the Military.
I was here TDY in 2008- was only on a 14 day set of Orders, but, seemed to be a decent base that was fairly clean and arranged logically with helpful Staff everywhere I went. And, it must be noted, the Locals I met out and about seemed to be pleasant (or maybe the term should be tolerant?) to myself and my cohorts, either in or out of uniform.
Again, I'm just adding my 2 cents....
No man needs. Drain tons of kerosene daily over the surrounding villages and over the Palatinate Forest. Our occupiers and we are still paying. The people themselves are okay but the military does not need anyone here.
Was sucks.
Very nice air base, perfect for tarpaulin spotting. Of course, as a member of us, you can't see everything!
Lived here from 2012-16. Saw everything around the KMC and beyond. Best years of my life for travel.
Pervert such a thing! No more war was once the motto!
Anyone who rated this with 5 stars, is to drive yourself to these countries and with their own eyes see how the Axis of Evil aka. Old, women, children, sleeping, loving and desperate to be murdered there on perfiedeste way!
Germany is not "defended" in Iraq and Afghanistan!
High-quality nuclear missiles, but unfortunately the people in the combat drones have not strengthened the compensator qualitatively enough.
In addition, the F-35 fighters are too expensive and better available elsewhere
It would be much quieter in the world, the American would stay in his country.
To all who approve of this basis of the Americans .. suffer from loss of reality!
Simply research myself would help ;-)
"NATO AGRESSIONS BASE" would be the more appropriate name for this place !!! A shame that our government supports the Americans in the killing of civilians, participated in their wars of aggression and then financed it with our taxpayer money !!!
The US military is doing great!
I would like to thank all US soldiers who are stationed not only in Miesenbach but also in other parts of Germany and who protect us from international terrorism and the countries that are part of the "axis of evil". Thank you for preserving and defending the values, freedom and democracy of the western world.
Thank you U.S. Ramstein Air Base!
God bless you and god bless america!
great place to work feom time to time,with my good friend at my side
Great hub to use Space-A. Located in one of the best USAF bases in Europe.
I miss that place. A lot of pros and cons though. LOL I go from that to Arizona.....
BX is cool and all.. but I love their Burger King the most!
it's time for Ramstein to close, google: Anacker, Rammstein instead of Ramstein
Thank you America, thanks to the brave man and women serving for the greatest country in the world!
Hay all thank you for what you doing for American look what American do for you here most of all Tucson Arizona to military service and ex military service families and because someone ask for one love one
I think Ramstein is great, but the food was really bad and the parking spaces were 0.12 cm smaller than the EU guidelines .
You ve got it.
War Criminal, this occupation zone should be closed immediately ....
I also can not support the fact that other countries under German flag are attacked by other countries with drones. If the countries shoot back, it is Germany that gets hit.
A great place to drive a tank, clean toilets, unhealthy American food, and even to watch as prisoners are tortured. Thumbs up for this great experience. Our youngest was even allowed to drive an unknown drone. One does not even believe what destruction a single rocket can do in a market. Well we did not have to clean the meat pudding so deserved 5 stars. Keep it up God save America!
It is always a great experience shopping here. There is no waiting line, and everything runs very smooth.
A very nice place
Here you can meet most of the nice people
Air Base Ramstein is a place where valid international law is trampled!
Great, thank you for being here.
All those howling you do not even know what that means you are here.
Does Ramstein Air Base work with remote-controlled trucks?
