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. .
