If you get enough of them you can have your own private airforce, then it doesnt matter if they do complain!

I'm pretty much done moving ever again......unless I hit the lottery.
I lived out of a duffel bag overseas for most of the 20 years I was in the Army.
Enjoyed every minute of it.....

You're not finished moving until you have a lift.

Aaaarrrfff! Mighty fine shop there, Bob.
That's the Automotive Craft Shop on Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. I get to use it since I'm Retired Army. They charge small fees for using the shop which includes use of their (Snap On) tools. They even have a paint booth.

LOL! The cigarette and liquor deals at the PX and commissary ended 20+ years ago. The Surgeon General determined that smoking was bad for Soldiers. So to help the Soldiers quit......they raised the prices to almost as much as the civilians pay for cigarettes. I remember in 1992 in the Commissary in Germany, I paid $1.99 a carton for Winston's. No, that is not a typo.....$1.99 a carton. I transferred to Aberdeen Proving Ground in March 1992 and the last carton of cigarettes I ever bought at the Commissary was $3.99. I quit smoking a few months later. I don't even know how much they are now exactly....I know over $40 a carton. I'll look next time I'm there.

Seriously. The Vet would load up their beach wagon with shopping bags full of booze and cartons of cigarettes filling orders from family and friends. At the Sunday dinners, the spoils of war were distributed like it was a God given right to plunder the PX no matter how remote your connection to the Vet was.

Prior to 9/11 we could get in the residential/shopping areas and the book store didn't ask for IDs, used to show up there every month to get a load of car mags and using the soft drink vending machines; well at least some of the drinks can be bought now in German supermarkets. 
Overseas, GI's can't buy a lot things without a ration card....gas, cigarettes, booze, coffee, tee, sugar, etc. You were limited to about 300 litres of gas a month, 4 cartons of cigarettes, 2 gallons of booze, etc. I have an old ration card around here somewhere. American cigarettes and booze was the King. Beer not so much....my German friends use to call American beer "alcohol free".
The Fraulein's sure loved American ice cream...... LOL!!!

My wife's dad had a Willy's Jeep in Indonesia when we married in 1986. We drove to the wedding in it. I wondered if it was left from WWII and can't recall if LH drive. U.S. troops never came in bulk to Indonesia, but maybe leftover supplies from the Solomons and Marshalls made their way west. He seemed embarrassed driving it, though I told him they were very desireable in the U.S. He later traded it for a Honda 150 cc motorcycle since it had a "major" problem (needed a new battery). I had told him I could get any part he needed easily in the U.S.
