Driving around SHAPE - Belgium

[lmariej83]

I guess this idiot has never heard of OPSEC!!! DUMB ASS!!!

[mpaulino]

Wow, someone totally threw Opsec out the window.

[libelef]

Just like travelling back in time. Went to primary school there, I remember my teacher Ms Folkenberg (Canadian section), Ms Dibble (British section), my friend Helen from Norway. Always wondering were they are now. A Greek teacher.

[wingblack1967]

Wow great vid I lived there from 73-84. Best time ever. I Spent some time in school at the Canadian section, and British section. Was good to see it again. Always wanted to go back and see how my old house has changed. I lived in Casteau Homes Thanks for sharing with us..

[madarakh]

oouhhh! i luv this place! second home 4 ever :)

[acamus36]

I was 8-11 years old when I lived here in the early 70s. It was a facinating place for a young Brit to live, loved the exposure to American culture. BowlingAlleys, flavoured gum|Swimming Pool. playing pool and those big Plymouth Satellites. Nice vid.

[jckennedy13]

Just watching this video was tremendously nostalgic. Hard to believe it's been 13 years since I left there. It's really cool seeing it again. I remember living on base and enjoying the sunny Belgian summer days around post. School wise, I went to the American high school, played football, basketball and baseball. I bagged groceries at the GB, worked at the pizza bowl, the North American Mess and at the main gym at the swimming pool as a lifeguard. This video touches on all of that. Thx!

Loved this video! Thank you for sharing it. We lived there in the early 70's and I still recognized the elementary school. We lived in Green Park in Mons and this was my favorite of all of the places we were stationed when growing up. Thank you thank you putting a video on here to enjoy some of those memories again! Still miss the Pom Frites (sp?) with Mayo! :)

I'm Belgian and I never knew we had this. I knew we're the NATO headquarters, but this, it's awesome!

[Refuse2be]

Wow.

Just Wow.

Ever since I left in 1997, I've ever wondered how the place looks these days. I miss SHAPE so much and this really put a big smile on my face.

Thank you very much.

[AugieGK4life]

ur right it prolly is a security risk haha xD

and it prolly isnt funny either.. but w/e i live here =P

[rottentomato11]

This is a security risk. This vid is exposing unauthorized recording of a military installation. Civilians do not need this information. this video should be removed.

[DOBSHAPE]

How in the world is this a security risk?

It doesnt give away any classified information at all.

So people know now where our green gym is.... WHO CARES?

[pstrois]

good souvenirs..

[bunkerio]

[sifufenix]

yeah!!!! im bond, you know...
