Question for my German and/or Army friends

[innerslytherin]

I know I have some ex-US military types hanging around here, as well as several German friends. I'm looking for a likely US Army base for a character to have spent time on as a kid. Her father is an officer (I'm thinking Colonel by the time she's an adult) and they were posted in Germany while she was maybe 8 to 12 or thereabouts.

Suggestions? Little details she can sprinkle into conversation? How would she say "I love German food!" in German?

Thanks in advance! *G*
