Well the Car was Bought in South Carolina, then was moved to Alaska, then shipped to Germany and spent most of its life in Stuttgart and then Ramstein and now its been shipped back to the U.S. to the East Coast. For two weeks in the U.S. it was still registered under it's German plate, now It has a CT One. Was a rare sight to see on the U.S. roads in New England

As a servicemember, aren’t D plates supposed to be handed back prior from leaving Germany? I would have expected to see QQ plates but regular ones??

This Jetta was Registered on A British Forces Germany System (BFG), And in that system the vehicle can still maintain it's German plates when in transit to a new location.
Instead of Getting QQ Plates, The BFG system allows you to use the existing plates until a new registration in the other country has been obtained.

Very interesting!
And why Ramstein is so strict with driving around with US plates?
Because in many other American bases in Europe you can see plenty of US plates on servicemember's cars.
