Grafenwoehr Main Exchange (PX) at USAG Bavaria Germany!

[@willowdon]

the military should seriously hire you to travel around each base and do these videos.....these are great quality and vital info for folks that are pcsing to these areas.

[@DTVDanielTelevision]

Thanks so much! I’m actually working to make that happen now… stay tuned 🤞🏾

[@fitragamuffin]

Never in a million years did I think I would be enthralled in a video about the PX. You've done it again- the editing/music etc are incredible!

[@DTVDanielTelevision]

Hahaha, you're crazy Jamie! A million years tho.... c'mon. You should see my Prius videos ;) PS: Word of the day: "Enthralled"

[@lisaweigl8339]

Wow thanks Daniel. Grew up around Grafenwöhr but was never able to see what was hiding behind those gates to the base. My uncle worked on base and sometimes brought me a can of Dr Pepper - oh the good old days ha

[@DTVDanielTelevision]

Haha, that's hilarious. I figured there would be quite a few Germans who would love to see the inside :)

[@aleina5899]

Yeah, I tried to sneak in with my US friend who had a card when I was 15, but they turfed me out. Still, she had my shopping list so all was not lost. Cinnamon donuts and Dentyne cinnamon flavour were the top items.😅 @@DTVDanielTelevision

A lot of wars fought, and sacrifices were made to have such a magnificent PX.

[@kevinbanks6855]

Thank you for this video. Things have really changed since the first time there 43 years ago. WOW!!!

[@DTVDanielTelevision]

You're welcome! Thanks for paving the way for us!

[@brucebeyer9174]

Kevin - I was also stationed at Graf from August 1976 to 1979. I recall that our PX and commissary were not anywhere as large as they are today. I've used Google Earth to see what Graf looks like today and about the only structures I could find on the main post area were the Graf Water Tower and the theater. I was assigned to the flight detachment at Graf. With the exception of the runway itself the airfield has been renovated.

[@chrisl129]

Very entertaining and informative tour of the Grafenwoehr Main Exchange. Excellent video...

[@cathybender-bq4zp]

I worked in the old PX in 88-92. My job was in what we called “the cash cage” we cashed checks, sold ration tickets for gas (is gas rationed anymore)? And handled funds from all the other exchanges, from the training grounds to Vilsek. I’m really beginning to feel old looking at your great videos! 😂

[@DTVDanielTelevision]

Whoa! I was in elementary school at this time 😊 Yes, gas is still rationed along with tobacco and alcohol. Thanks for sharing!

[@SpacelySprockets88]

This video get me more excited for Germany. I’ll be there in 3 weeks!

Not sure how I ended up here but I like your editing style and narration. Keep it up!

[@DTVDanielTelevision]

Hell ya my man, thanks for the support and welcome to the channel! ✊🏽

[@florianbauer657]

Hello from a german soldier :) im quite often there, but sadly we're only allowed to buy something to eat. The only thing that triggers me there is, that u can pay in € but u will get $ back. Very interesting video, thanks for it .

[@DTVDanielTelevision]

Thanks for watching my friend! Most Americans pay by card, but yes, you can get $ back when paying with €

[@Svenne_Kloppe]

What's strange is that, compared to a German mall, it follows the US building code, especially with the unique ceiling lights and exit signs that you don't typically see in Europe.

[@bretcantwell4921]

My family was assigned to Graf from 81-84 and that was back when AAFES cafeteria and Stars and Stripes bookstore were a thing. This video just blows my mind.

[@kable_tv4]

When my family was stationed in vilseck,I would always love to go to the Grafenwöhr PX.We would always shop,and get lunch!I remember I would always look at the military artwork on top of the restaurants.

[@robbsgarage990]

BUN-D !!! I can't believe they opened one up there, that's awesome!

[@DTVDanielTelevision]

They did, but it’s changing to Dean and David soon

Thank you!

I lived in Grafenwoehr Base from 2016 to 2018 good memories

[@EpicThe112]

Looks like a Walmart and Target combined. For Electronics which one would you choose a German Saturn store or AAFES Px? 9:15 laundry detergent United States size. Local equivalents for Tide Arm & Hammer are West German Persil Ariel and the former East German Spee and Perwoll which soldiers in Grafenwöhr 1980s call Fewa.

[@WheelsfanaticsCz]

Very well done video, Daniel. Do you know if people without military ID can go to the Panda Express in Grafenwoehr and eat? Panda's outside the PX. I've just been hooked on Orange chicken since I was first in the States, and I was so happy when I found out they opened a branch in Germany very close to my country. I'd like to stop there with my family on my way back from a trip. It's a pity I can't visit the PX as it reminds me of shopping malls in the US. Thank you.

[@DTVDanielTelevision]

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately you need someone who’s stationed there to sponsor you on for some Panda 🐼

[@Ruhrpottpflanze88]

Hello Daniel, cool videos!! but from where you got the music, because i like this one where you say "..TOYS!!" i like the song "because i feeling so good wanna.." ??? could be very nice when you say me the song. Kind regards GFML

[@qinn1996]

interesting insights! As a German citizen who has just found out that exclusive American malls like this exist on German territory I have a few probably naive questions: -how come this exists at all? How about shopping in German malls? Is it just for the sake of not needing to adapt to local/cultural customs? -how come it's military exclusive? Would be cool to have access to Taco Bell/Popeye's

[@Egg-f4o]

I used to always go to that PX with my family.

[@travelingwithmikeandpam9074]

So, So, different than in the 80's!! LOL!!

[@garryt.6184]

Thanks for the tour. What's up with the cart? Hopefully you are not injured. I love your videos, keep it up! Grew up an Army Brat in Germany during the 80's.

[@DTVDanielTelevision]

You’re welcome! The cart holds all my video equipment. Lifesaver 🤘🏾 Thanks for the support 🙏🏽

[@nobodysfool4444]

Looks just like Target or Walmart. I swear we take America everywhere we go. 🤣

[@DTVDanielTelevision]

The Exchange motto is literally, "we go where you go" lol

[@benjaminbeciri2989]

It's really sad that the fact that this is in Germany but you not allowed to go there as a German. I would love to see that!

[@DTVDanielTelevision]

Agreed 🫤

[@GeistView]

Be nice as an american retiree in germany to use the PX but we cant.

[@glendacastillo6504]

I was stationed in Ramstein, 2009-2013. I did training with the Army medic.

[@CliftonBriggs]

we were a military family and moved often and I was in the army myself and i have NEVER seen a px like that. makes me jealous.

[@jpass7784]

Can You make a video about the Netzaberg Hill Trail??

[@KCGLivingInGray]

I used to live so near there!!

[@anasilva1631]

Great video. Do you know of europeans can go in and shop there?

[@DTVDanielTelevision]

Thanks for watching! If you’re not a military ID card holder you need someone to sponsor you on base

[@itzilee]

I think i went to that exact PX when i lived in vilseck

[@sterlingschuyler8934]

Graf has a Dunkin' now? Does that mean no one goes to Vilseck anymore?

[@DTVDanielTelevision]

So happy to see you in the comments my friend!! Good question, but Dunkin is still worth a trip on Vilseck if you're in the area ;)

[@GeistView]

Now do video from the PX in the training area (the one next to the theater).

[@ThadMiller1]

The small one on the other side (near gettysburg club )doesnt exist anymore.

[@clawy-2598]

Come to bayreuth

[@Calida2308]

Are the salesperson actually soldiers or employees of the shops from the US?

[@DTVDanielTelevision]

Employees are either local nationals, military spouses, or just American civilians just applying online 😊
