Yep. Because I could spell and speak German, I worked as an LNO for the TAACOM ACSCMO and TKN with the PAO in the JIB at Mönchengladbach for a REFORGER - never again became my mantra.

For those who don't understand a NATO lisp:
  • LNO - Liaison Officer
  • TAACOM - Theater Army Area Command (US European Cmd's logistics HQs) - affectionately referred to by us combat arms branch guys working there as the 'TrashCom'
  • ACSCMO - Asst Chief of Staff for Civil-Military Ops
  • TKN - Bundeswehr Territorial Command North
  • PAO - Public Affairs Officer
  • JIB - Joint Information Bureau
  • REFORGER - Return of Forces to Germany (a series of multi-national exercises)
