AFN, Europe

icon


I recently came across this picture of the AFN Headquarters building, Frankfurt. I lived in this building for a little more than 2 years. As I remember, I painted a large portion of the interior of this facility. Painting and the Army seem to go hand in hand. Grunt or Broadcaster, it's all the same.

American Forces Radio Network, Europe
Why do I include this in the blog? Probably since I spent a large portion of my young life here. There are AFN Alumni groups and reunions. All of them are loaded with folks who have poor memories. As a radio station, AFN was mediocre at best. I can say this because I was on the air, hosting a network show, 5 days a week.

Our claim to fame was that we brought American top 40, rock and country music to the continent. Any enjoyment that I got from those years had nothing to do with the talentless zombies who called the shots at AFN.
