Whether it be on assignment or a small unit exchange. I had two myself. I was fortunate to go to Fort Benning to the US Ranger School and had a very good time with the 3rd Bn 7th Infantry just after the Vietnam War. The other time was on assignment with the 1st Bn British Para in Cyprus in 76. Both times were a real experience I won't forget. How about you?

Two....
One while on active duty at Ft. Sill, OK detonating Claymore mines in series, "digging" holes with C4 and cutting down small diameter trees with Det cord with 2 British artillery Officers and another FA 2LT from my battery. It was serious and important training!
The second was years after leaving the service while working in Iraq on a DoD contract. Myself and some English lads (Royal Marines) were traveling to Basrah. As I recall we had a RON at DUKE; a small camp in southern Iraq with the civilian facilities (DFAC, laundry,billeting, etc) run by a great bunch of Australians.
While having a small "get together" we were hit by a significant mortar attack by the bad guys. And true to form what I had hear about the Royal Marines, they made it their 1st priority to make room for the grill and tub filled with ice & Foster's beer in the bunker.

Home to the State Capitol, Honolulu could be the vivid epicentre of Hawaii and a city worth visit, as you might find with hotelbye . In Honolulu you will discover every thing from traditional landmarks and cherished monuments to world-class shopping and a flourishing arts and lifestyle scene. House to nearly all Oahu's population, the expansive town of Honolulu advances through the entire south-eastern shores of Oahu, from Pearl Harbor to Makapuu Point, encompassing earth famous Waikiki. Pearl Harbor is among Honolulu's greatest tourist attractions. Though it is home to the Navy's Pacific Fleet, visitors may take a tour to start to see the USS Arizona Memorial, and the USS Missouri.

Here in Hawai'i there is a military exercise called Rim-Pac involving navies from around the World. Lots of seamen flood the streets of Honolulu looking for a good time. If one plays things right they can have a lot of good experiences with other countries military. Nothing like a weapons check beneath & on top of the sheets. Yee Ha!
Peace..

Patrols with Australian troops, even though for only a brief time, but omg...these guys were downright cool. Funny, full of spirit, and very professional. Along the Iraqi border with SA, theres not much to do at night...so, they provided good jokes, tales...it was a huge relief from the thoughts of the mission.
I salute those guys from that unit-all I remember about them is..
2/45 Reg. 4 infantry....something like that. I wish i could talk to them.

I'm not in the military but the best expierience I've had with another country's military had to be the Ice Storm that hit SE Quebec. The response of military personnel and the Hydro crews was phenomenal. Really amazing.

I had lunch aboard a New Zealand ship while I was stationed in Hawaii. Those guys were alot of fun to run around Honolulu with. It was during a RIMPAC exercise.
