What is there to do on Smith Barracks in Baumholder Germany?|160202

We are moving there at the end of this year and I would like to know from people that have lived there what it_s like. Also what it_s like off post and what is there to do in the city of Baumholder.

I was not stationed there for my tour of Germany, I was at Fliegerhourse Kassern out of Hanau.

I would take USO tours al over Germany. The boat trip on the Rhine was just wonderful. Trips to Paris and London were also great. Don_t miss Heidelburg, if you don_t go you_ll regret it.

I also took trips to Italy. Lake Como was very expensive, but worth every penny.

Look around, enjoy

The EM, NCO or Officers clubs sometimes put on shows.

Baumholder is a small town and there_s not much going on in it. In fact, there_s really not much to do in that part of Germany because it_s mostly used for industry and military purposes. Baumholder can be really boring if you stay on post and don_t get out of the area.

The good news is you_re in Europe! You can spend your weekends exploring and sight seeing. MWR offers cheap trips for government officials and their family members.

On post activities include the movie theater, PX, shooting ranges, indoor swimming, gyms, track _ field activities, education center (for college courses), library, fast food (burger king, popeyes, anthony_s pizza, taco bell), and commissary. There_s more, but that_s just off the top of my head.

The weather is horrible! Baumholder is at a high elevation and you_re going to see lots of clouds, rain, and snow (the last couple of years have been light winters).

Soldiers stationed there are constantly in the field or deployed. It_s all about training there.

To make the best of your stay, I_d suggest getting out of Baumholder as much as possible. Take advantage of being in Europe and enjoy the culture.

About the bus line between Atlantic city and New york city. How exactly does it work?|115205

There is a bus line goes from New York to Atlantic City called lucky streak. I think people take it because they can get their money back when they come back to New York. But how exactly does it work? Do I need to be a frequent rider to get on that bus? how much do I pay initially and how much do they give me back? Thank you for reading the whole thing. Hope my crapy English doesn_t bother you that much.

Ahh, the gambling bus. I_ve taken it many times. You buy your ticket at the Port Authority Bus station in NYC. Do not buy a ticket to Atlantic City, they will only give you a ticket to the town, not to the casinos, you won_t get your voucher. You must tell them you want the bus to the casinos!! The ride is about $23 or $27 round trip. I don_t remember exactly. You pay full price in NY and when you get to the casinos, depending on how they_re doing that day you get money back. The people on the bus are total gamblers, they always know which casinos are paying out best, different casinos pay out different amounts. The bus stops at several casinos, once I got off at Harrahs and got 14 dollars back, once I only got 8 at Caesars. You do not get any money when you come back to NY, you only get the money when the bus gets to the casinos. Have fun.

How long does it take to ship something from illinois to florida?|125236

A package. i used the regular shipping and it got picked up in illinois at 6:01 p.m.
do they fly it to Florida?

By regular, you mean the US Postal Service? If so, somewhere between 3 and 10 days.
Sometimes they fly stuff, sometimes it_s trucked. Depends.
You should have asked when you mailed it and they would_ve told you an expected average time for delivery.

What University has a good education program in the bay area?|122455

I was looking at cal state east bay, but it looks like they only have degree programs for health sciences and physical education stuff. I want to teach history/economics/social studies etc.

sf state. most teachers in san francisco and the peninsula got their degree from there

your question isnt addressed to me, but yes, a lot of people apply to sf state, not too many apply to cal state east bay

Anywhere but UC Santa Cruz and Sonoma State is fine. Cal State East Bay is growing right now and trying to make a name for themselves. SF State is good. However, they are cutting back on accepting applications.

San Francisco State

SF State and CAL.

What is there to do around Eastern Illinois University?|196934

i am planning on going to EIU in the fall of 2009, and just wondering what there is to do in charleston.

I grew up near Charleston and have two degrees from Eastern. If you want to go to college be willing to study and complete your courses and degree(s) on time. If you can do the required studying and make the grades the first year or two then that frees you up to have more free time to investigate the area around Charleston. Charleston is a small city but Eastern is a great university. There are a lot of historic sites as well as other interesting places to visit around Charleston. With a car you can travel around the area within two hours and see much more. Use the internet to find the exact places which may interest you. A lot of the sites around Charleston are on the theme of President Lincoln.

Jackson Av Coffee (Live Music), Bars/Bands(usu. let in freshman), Movie theater, Parties(you don_t nec. have to drink), Champaign is an hour away and they have clubs that let in 19 y/o_s, Campus activities(you get a weekly calendar and there are tons). Overall, its what you make it.. :)
