BTW, great page you have there. I see the new chevrons for Smsgt. I must admit I much prefer the old chevrons, where two up is a Chief. I was actually stationed at Mainz-Kastel, yes, an air traffic controller at Mainz-Kastel. I was doing staff type work, creating instrument flight procedures. I went TDY all over Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, for this job, including Ramstein, so I have been been in the tower there. Good picture of it. When I worked in control towers, Mt Home, Vietnam, Laughlin and Travis, sometimes, I felt sorry for the maint troops on the ground, out in the elements, while I was sitting in air conditioned comfort, but not too sorry (smile)
Later bro.
