You won't get anything extra.As far a travel goes I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. If you were asking about pleasure travel Google Ryanair and Aer Lingus for flights.

Do you want the physics of bodies in motion....or what?

Germany, all of Europe really, has public transportation that makes anything in the USA look like a bad joke. Busses and trains are cheap, fast and efficient. You could be stationed in Germany, and go visit Rome while on a four day leave without ever needing to rent a car. Train tickets cost money, but less than you'd spend on gas if you drove. Army pay includes your paycheck, all housing and food expenses (as long as you eat in the chow hall) and all medical expenses. In short, your paycheck is free and clear, making that $1200 check more like $2700 in the civilian world. And you get raises every year and every time you're promoted. If you have to live off base, you will be given a housing allowance equal to the average rent for a place appropriate to your station, and a daily allowance for food and what not, usually about $50 per day, seven days a week. Have fun!

you will get COLA for yourself..and that fluctuates monthly. There are no other benefits. a passport..a regular tourist one..is required to travel outside of Germany. within Germany, you are subject to your Command's policies regarding mileage restrictions and areas that are off limits. .

How do I go about applying for status to be certified to work in Germany

How do I go about applying for status to be certified to work in Germany?
Being an American citizen abroad I was looking to work to help my bank account from dipping to far. I was wondering what sort of things I need to do to be able to work in Germany, do I need a permit or visa? What sort of things are necessary to work here? Also I read that in Germany there is a huge demand for IT personnel and that 25% of the slots that are in the IT field are not filled due to Germany's vast demand for IT workers. Thanks!

You never mentioned what skills you have but generally speaking,yes,germany has a VERY large need for not only IT workers but Engineers as well.You're given Permanent residency from the start NOT a work permit as suggested if approved of your high skills. "How to apply for permanent residence As of the 1 January 2005 introduction of the new German Immigration Act, foreigners need only obtain a German residence permit, which gives them the right to work, rather than separate residence and work permits. Citizens of the US, Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, and Switzerland may apply for their residence and work permit while remaining in Germany as visitors. Citizens of these countries, however, are not allowed to work in Germany until after their work and residence permit application is approved. Citizens of most other countries are required to apply for and obtain a residence and work permit prior to entering Germany at their German consulate. The procedure as of 1 January 2005 is as follows: Stage 1: The residence permit application (which also provides access to the labour market) for the candidate is received by the German embassy in the country where the candidate lives. Stage 2: The Embassy passes the application to the immigration office (the Auslaenderbehoerde) in the place where the job is to take place for initial approval. The immigration office, in cooperation with the local employment office (the Arbeitsamt) that issues the permission, makes its decision. Stage 3: If the candidate's application has been approved, the Embassy provides an entry visa to the candidate. Stage 4: Upon arriving in Germany, the foreign national and any accompanying family members must apply for their work and residence permits at the local foreigners authority."

Will a "stick" internet connection in germany work on a US laptop

Will a "stick" internet connection in germany work on a US laptop ?
Traveling to Berlin Germany... I want to take my laptop. Powersupply says up to 240 V so I am guessing all I need is a plug converter not a power converter. Also my friend said they just got a inexpensive ISP with a "stick". I assume that is like our Air cards. Will it work on a US Laptop ?
