My dad was stationed in Germany in the 50's. He wanted to get his picture taken with a cop there so he gave his buddy the camera and walked up to the cop with a cigarette and said, "Haben Sie ein light, bitte?". The cop just rolled his eyes. Dad did learn how to say 'asshole' in German, though.
He has been gone 20 years and I don't remember what he told me, I know it wasn't Ramstein, because I worked with a bunch who were stationed there. So I asked about that. He was very outgoing and while he was there, he looked up some of his cousins and was able to get to know them a little.
