I'm a product of the DoDDS system. I played high school sports for Stuttgart High School back in 1975-76. Yes, there were some long rides in school buses to get to other high schools, but really not much different than what high school kids do here in many rural areas of the country.

It wasn't a high school sport back then, but I also played baseball for the local ADYA (American Dependent Youth Activities) where we lived. We sometimes took trains to get to tournaments.
