The 4:30 AM Scenario...Frankfurt, Bitburg or Kasierslautern?

 I came to be stationed at three German bases in my life (over a 22-year period).....Rhein Main (outside of Frankfurt), Bitburg, and Kaiserslautern.

Each was unique and different.  

But in terms of getting into 'stupid-trouble'....you figured out a couple of things.  It's what I would call the 4:30 AM reality.

In Frankfurt, there were probably over 1,000 different ways of getting into trouble, or just standing in the wrong place....at the wrong time.

In Kaiserslautern, you had to go looking at 4:30 AM....for trouble, and maybe in 10-percent of these situations....you'd find one single way of getting into trouble.  What you generally figured out....most all night-life ended by midnight.  

In Bitburg, it was nearly impossible to find trouble. Most night life?  It was closed by 10 PM.
