What would be your #1 choice for a duty station and why?
Fort Hood for sure. It really is "The Great Place". Sure, some stuff happens there, but it's really not bad at all. There are pretty much endless places in relatively close proximity to do anything you want. The post itself has a lot to do as well compared to some others.
Near by places that offer so much:
Belton, Temple, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and a ton of good hunting and fishing all over the state. Oh, and Marble Falls is just a beautiful place. There's not a lot to do there, it's a small town, but just really nice.
Ft Irwin was my favorite and first duty station.
Graf and Ft Lewis again
Fort Campbell. Close to Nashville with four seasons. Great outdoor activities.
Ha, almost correct why it was in Ky. The post office is half a block in Kentucky with a Kentucky zip code. I did spend 5 years in the 101st.
Did 3 tours at JBLM. It was easily the best base in the Army in the 80's/90's. My first duty station was Ft. Carson. Didn't mind it, but I spent 8 to 9 months a year in the field, 6/32 Armor. It was my first duty station and the only reason I reenlisted was to get out of there. I actually retired rather than go to Ft. Campbell and back into airborne status.
When I was in the Army in 1968, Fort Polk was considered a hellhole where you went for Infantry AIT before being an 11B in Vietnam!
Hasn’t changed…
I was there 1992-1993, one of the worst places I have been in the Army. I was in Yuma at YPG and it sucked, but close to San Diego and Phoenix. I have been to most Army Bases Conus, Italy, Germany, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. I have not been to Alaska, But Fort Polk was the worst, and I was there pre internet and cell phones. We had one channel on the TV. I guess the experience made me appreciate other spots.
My brother was there the year before. He was on his way to Vietnam and this was AIT. While there he said people returning from Vietnam guys claimed this place was actually worse than being in country except for someone shooting at them. I personally went to Fort Leonard Wood basic base 1970 for me and Fort Carson which for me was a good base to at.
Ft. Polk (Johnson) is by far the worst US Army Instillation in the US, but I’ve never been to Ft. Irwin. There is absolutely nothing worth seeing within a 3 hour (or more) drive of that place. I only had a couple TDYs there and absolutely hated it . I could not imagine being stationed there.
Lot of young men caught up in government subsidized lunacy,,on an industrial level....We signed out at Ft Benning in '70...6 of us lined up at a table with a warrant officer, getting our paperwork.. guy at the head of the line turned around to us and said.. "Holy shit,,, we're still breathin'.....that was a VERY good day....
I was stationed at ft. Hood and ft. Campbell in the 90s i loved ft. Campbell the most awesome video Christopher.
Great video! I think when I enlisted in 1983 I put Hawaii as my first pick, ended up going to Weisbaden, Germany. Got to see Europe through ITT tours! PCS'd back to Ft Hood as Airborne Pathfinder in 6th Cav, great duty assignment, excellent unit, had alot of fun!
Had I stayed in I wanted to go to Ft Benning as a black hat at the airborne school, ETS'd in 1987 and came back to Pa. where I still live. Didn't regret going in the Army one bit!!
I loved Fort Bliss. When I was stationed at Fort Bliss Juarez was off-limits.
Still is today. I’m stationed at bliss currently
Did my PLDC at Bliss! Land Nav at Biggs sucked! 103 degrees the day we did it! Had a lizard run out from under a bush... Scared the crap out of me, as we had been warned about snakes!
I like the first Cav patch, very iconic patch Vietnam war. Huey choppers 😎
I was in the Army from 1982 to 1988 and was stationed at Ft Hood & Schofield Barracks. I enjoyed both duty stations!! I meet some decent folks at each location. One thing I enjoyed about the Army was getting stationed in a location Ive never been too before..
My life as an Army Brat gave me chances to live on many Army bases around the world. When the joint forces were stationed at Albuquerque,NM, went Air Force, my dad was asked what his dream duty station was. Schofield barracks Hawaii. 1972-75. Fun, right? As a former Marine, I loved S.Korea and Okinawa Japan, and of course Little Creek Virginia.😎🤙
Times have changed. I never even came close to getting an assignment on my wish list. Posts mentioned are not bad.
I was at Ft. Polk and Ft. Irwin, not sure the Army liked me that much too place me in both of those places.
I did 5 years at each one. I asked for Irwin and was told to go to Polk.
Imagine going from Ft Shafter, HI to Ft Irwin, CA. And in Jan 1981 before Ft Iwin was activated. What a wake up call that was.
Mother of God
The green weenie Fd you good 😂
You’re right about not basing your choice on the current post commander. I worked for an incompetent new general in a staff position. Fortunately I had orders for graduate school, saved. Signing into my new assignment after school my wife showed me the post paper with the announcement of the new post commander. Within the year her command was such a disaster she was reassigned and the assignment was really enjoyable.
They built up Bliss, and the quilty of living is great. New barracks, housing, parks, gyms, pools, exchanges, etc. Plus, El Paso is large enough and has a variety of nightlife, restaurants, UTEP, Outdoors stuff do to.
I was stationed at JBLM and it was my only duty station. with that said, I really enjoyed my time there. There was really a lot of stuff to do in the surrounding area of the base.
A bunch of Career Skills Programs as well
When I went in to the Army as a 19E10B8 in the fall of '83, I did OSUT at Knox,and near the end of training,I was given "the option of picking my first duty station". I picked Knox (obiously) Devens,since I am a Masshole and Hawaii. Along with Germany.
Well,I got sent to the Planet (NTC,Ft.Irwin,Cali) for four years(84-88). Hated it .Loved it. OPFOR RULES!!!
Served during the early 2000's. Always wanted to get stationed at Camp Zama, but never managed to pull it off. I did spend some time out at Fort Huachuca and loved it... probably one of the few who think that.
I was in the Army from 82-86. I was stationed at Baumholder West Germany and Fort Carson. I had really good leadership and enjoyed the duty.
I picked Bliss as my option 19, no idea why I did but my unit is awesome so there's no regret in that.
My brother was drafted in ‘65. He sent letter to mom after a few weeks . He told her if he has to spend his whole two years at Fort Polk , he was going volunteer for ‘Nam… he ended up in White Sands, NM… because he had a bachelor’s degree already .
scoffield barracks hawaii i would think.I was at ft hood 1975 to 1978.I joined the air force reserve in 1987 and retired from it. I went tdy to Osson Korea neat place.Also Kadena Okinowa liked it there. Thank you
I’m was raised in Michigan and Indiana! I loved my 7 years at Ft. Bliss. When I was there I was able to walk with my family into Mexico. I’ve heard that’s changed though.😊
We lived at Ft Campbell in the 70s when my dad was in the 101st that place was 80 percent farm land now I recently visited and it's amazing how much it changed..Where there used to be fields is now massive neighborhoods and complexes.
I was at Campbell for my entire temure. I loved it there. Nashville is about an hour away. Plenty to do there.
In terms of things to do around it, Fort Irwin has its good points. The beach, Tiajuana, Vegas just a few hours away in each direction. But you will need a car.
I think you are right about Cavazos..lots of Texans in the Army and it's in iconic Texas hill country..Killeen is icky...just like Fayetteville outside of Liberty (Bragg)
i spent about 10 years at ft sill one month.
I was stationed in Alaska in the 70s. Ft Richardson is just outside of Anchorage. I loved it. I believe Ft Richardson was absorbed by Elmendorf AFB.
i was stationed at Ft. Cartoon - I hate the snow. There were 3 blizzards while I was there for 9 years! However I loved Ft. Campbell, it was my first duty station. 1/187th Inf. Whooah!
leader! ⛩
Rakkasan! 2 of my uncles rolled through there in the late 70s and early 80s.
I was in 'Five Oh Deuce' a bit later.
The best duty station that I have been to is Fort Huachuca Arizona, but you have to be in an MOS that's needed there. There's no combat arms there as far as I know. I was stationed at Fort Bliss before all of the build up, it was pretty good, but if you wanted to leave the area you had a drive ahead of you. San Antonio was 8 hours away, Dallas was 10 hours away, Tucson was almost 5 hours away, and San Diego was 10.5 hours away. The closest place was Las Cruces (48 min) and there was nothing going on there.
I was at Schofield Barracks Hawaii and couldn't believe it wasn't on the list. I'm from Oklahoma, when I was offered Hawaii, everywhere else wasn't an option. I was there 2 years and 8 months. I only did 3 years. So after BT and AIT of 8 weeks, the rest of my 3 years was Schofield. I spent 7 months on Maui, 45 days in the Philippines, 45 in South Korea, about 2 months in Micronesia and around 4 months total at PTO. Pahokaloa Training Area on the big Island. I saw so much in that 32 months, its unbelievable.
My last duty station was Ft. Campbell, it wasn’t too bad. Nashville is not too far away and is a fantastic city. I was very proud to wear the 101st ABN patch too. I still got out although. I often wonder where I would have been sent next if I stayed in the Army. I probably would have tried to get Lewis or Carson. I love the mountains and skiing. Germany would have been high on the list too.
US Army 1971 -2025. I've served on a lot of bases and my favorites were Camp Zama (Sagamihara Japan), Caserma Ederle (Vicenza Italy), and White Sands Missile Range (New Mexico). I absolutely hated Fort Hood, but that was mostly due to leadership issues. My father had a career in the Army as well, but he was in Air Defense Artillery (Nike-Hercules Missile) and as such I grew up on small missile sites throughout the US North East (Buffalo, Niagara, Limestone Maine, etc.) - no more than a dozen military families in the area.
I enlisted st 17. 11B and ft campbell. Went to ft polk for basic, 11B ait and tigherland. Then off to airborne school. Then back to polk to toe school. Then I joined another group. Never made it to campbell. Spent time at several different army, navy and sirforce bases. Been to jungles is several countries. Had an absolute blast for the most part. Loosing team members was mot fun. The guys I trained and opperated with over rode any bad place.
How were you able to go to navy and air force bases as army infantry?
@@golfery5119 for specialized training.
Fort Polk is definitely the most requesting duty station.
Went through Bliss on mob and demob absolutely awesome PX.
5th Special Forces Group is also on Fr Campbell and many of the SF guys love that area and stay there. I was one of them I get it.
Okay ... Retired Army here, Armor. 4 of the 5 areas you mentioned are the WORSE spots to be assigned. Ft Hood, #1 are you kidding me?! They might as well re-named it Ft. Field Prom off to NTC! It's hot, it's sandy. Yea the CAV (I'll have to wash my mouth out now) is there. Germany is the BEST place to go! Korea can be fun I went there 2x in my career and the 2nd time was AWESOME!
If I had not joined the USMC, I would have loved to have been stationed at JBLM. I grew up in eastern Pierce County WA, about 20 miles from JBLM.
Done with basic and done with airborne/jump school and headed to Camp Ederle in Italy with the 173rd Airborne I hope my Spanish can help learn Italian but anything to get out of the states 😅
Last I checked, soldiers weren’t allowed to go to Juarez and if one did try to get back through the border in Juarez, a one star had to pick you up.
Just got stationed at Bliss. Only been here about a week and yeah Juarez is rough but El Paso is completely different. So far El Paso seems pretty cool. But like any place, it is what you make it.
Been to bliss been to Stewart and been to Campbell! Campbell is like 5hrs from my house and my cousin was station there for a hot minute attached to the 101st
If you like the big cities there are lots of places near major metro areas. Look up a big city and find the nearest base. Not all are large some are small.
I did SCHOFIELD & BERLIN BRIGADE two of the best duty station in the army
I did too and I agree. 1997-2000 and 1977-1980.
As I could read & speak German, the Army sent me on my way to Bavaria(And a very good unit)!
When I Joined In '79, They Gave Me The Choice Of Ft Lewis, Polk or Hood. I Chose Ft Hood (2AD). With Ft Lewis, All I Could See Was Cold And Snow. Ft Polk, Swamps Came Mind. So Ft Hood Won By Elimination.
I recently just sign a new contract to reenlist in the army in my old MOS. I was given a choice of duty station between Fort Hood, Texas and Fort Campbell, Kentucky. I choose Fort Campbell as I have not heard good things about Fort Hood.
I was at Ft Carson, Ft Campbell, and now Im JBLM.
Fort Benning / Fort Moore is my number 1
Army Brat and retired Army, so a lot of time around different posts. For combat arms duty stations, my top 5 are Germany, Italy, JBER, Bliss, and Hood (or whatever they are calling it now). For all posts, Germany, Italy, JBER, Huachuca, Bliss. Gordon and Hood would be runners up. Bottom of the lists are Stewart, Benning, Polk....
My ideal location is Fort Humphreys in SK 😊 I've always wanted to go there
The hard part about that is if you get sent to Korea then you don't get to pick where in Korea. They just send you where you are needed. South of Seoul is normally the better locations and north of Seoul are typically the locations people don't like as much.
I’m currently at fort Bliss my choice it’s not bad. There’s a tattoo shop and a cigar shop. Food is good as well
I never wanted to go to ft hood. But I got out and stayed here in Texas.
Favorite duty was West Berlin. Best duty station and my second wasn't even close.
I tried like heck to get that assignment. Folks who don't know, don't understand why folks would choose it, but those who DO know.....
Ft Detrick 🙌🏿 I was at ft Lewis, base was good but hated Washington. Too expensive, too much traffic, too many homeless. Wok in wok out was good though
May I suggest doing a video on the Army’s smallest bases and camps such as Camp Merrill in Dahlonega GA. That would be my pick for a duty station because of its small area and between training cycles it’s really super quiet.
I initially chose Ft Bragg in the 90s because I wanted to go to the 82nd, glad to have served in the 82nd but I hated the unit. A plus at Ft Bragg is the SF units and Delta if you're into that. I reenlisted to stay in Panama but got screwed, by far my best duty station at Ft Clayton. I was then stationed in Stuttgart Germany, excellent duty station. A lot of opportunities to drive to different. countries in Europe.
The reason FT Campbell is in Kentucky is the Post Office is in, it the HQ is in Tennessee and Flag pole also.
Good video, When I was in 87 to 97 before the bases changed their names, I wíll still call them by that name Fort Hood etc.
I served in the Army from 1973-1990. My duty station of choice is Fort Hood. I was stationed there from 1973-76. The Army never saw fit to reassign me to Fort Hood.
About Ft Bliss in El Paso, Jaurez has been Off Limits since forever
Remember you do have full time National Guard and Reserve too. After active duty consider that if you don't want to move around much.
Back in the 80's Fort Carson was always talked about as a cool place.I was at Ft.Hood and you need a vehicle. Back in the day there were a ton of clubs in Killeen and Harker Heights all types of music. Also Belton lake was an ok place to hangout, But for me Germany was great since we were on a small base near a tourist castle town. Most bases in Germany are gone except for larger ones near cities which i don't care for
Ft. Leavenworth or Ft. Bliss. Doing ROTC ECP soon.
I legit joined the army to get out of Texas and they sent me right back. I was supposed to go to Riley but they changed my orders to Bliss
Lol my homie joined the Air Force and they put him in the CITY hes from😂😂😂 i dont think he minded that much, because he has an actual family, but still. Wild.
I did three tours in the Army, but only one stateside station: Ft. Carson CO at the end of the 80s.
Most. Eff'd. Up. Post. Ever.
When I got out the Army was in flux. The Warsaw Pact was on the verge of breaking up and Saddam Hussein had not yet gone stupid crazy. Major forts hosted an entire division all in one spot and Cartoon hosted the 4th ID [M]. At the time the division was a huge cluster frig. It didn't even have a legit mission. When I finally checked out, the mission of the 4th ID was 'to provide engaged units with trained and experienced replacement personnel' and 'to prepare for deployment should such a deployment become necessary'. Translated that meant the entirety of the division, less cadre, was one big replacement depot. We weren't even turning wrenches on the vehicles or equipment we were theoretically gonna go to war with. It was post full of ROAD NCOs and time-serving officers and everybody was dying to escape it.
We joked about it, but there was some biting truth to it... Fort Cartoon's mission in life was to support the strip joints, dance clubs, and pizza delivery companies in the greater Colorado Springs area.
as far as mexico goes for fort bliss, soldiers are not allowed to even go to juarez, they still do but theyre not supposed to
I leave June 2nd and I got Fort Wainwright, Alaska.
U goofed up boy
I leave July 8 for fort carson
@@AustinKaylor a lot of people I’ve talked to said they really liked it but from what I get it’s kind of a hit or miss.
Have fun with JPMRC 😂
Fort bliss gets snow from time to time. Winters are cold as heck.
I was stationed at Bliss while in the army in 2000 and it was a very small post then,then in 2008 I was doing a train-up to deploy to Iraq with a Texas Guard unit at Bliss and it was getting much bigger than when I was stationed there.They added a Sgt Majors Academy,an aviation brigade was also added,new housing for married soldiers too.
@@user-be7tc2bd6e Bliss was my 1st duty station in 2003. I was in 5/52 ADA, 11TH imperial bde. 507th maintenance company.
Was at Huachuca 99-03. We got 4 inches of snow, the night Bush beat Gore... It was gone before noon!
@@user-be7tc2bd6e Sgt Major Acadamy was there before `99. Was at Huachuca then, and had a former 1SG attending when I got there.
I’m in the Air Force and landed in El Paso (Ft. Bliss) one night in a terrible blizzard. It blew my mind, didn’t think it snowed that far south…but it does.
My dad was stationed at fort Polk 1962
I was a soldier of the 80s but now they say at 57 I can't reenlist and I'm in good shape ,I still fit in my old bdu's
If i join later (im in hs) i either want to be stationed at either fort Johnsons (i was born there) or on the base in Alaska
I was in 84- 98 and I never regretted any of it .Not a question of wanting to but more of a question of being able to .A lot of the young people i see now with their attitudes would never make it .
Station overseas 81-83 2nd battalion 28th Infantry Wiesbaden Germany I was then stationed at Ft Campbell 82-85 had the best time there 3rd battalion 187 Rakkasans
I do not know why people ask for Ft Bliss but as a native of El Paso I can tell youwhat should and does cause many retirees live there. 1) El Paso is one the largest city in the US to have a military installation (pop just short of a million. ) 2) Fort Bliss goes back to the frontier forts in the Indians Wars so the population has a great respect for army and strong tradition. 3) The military hospital as well as the retail you mentioned. 4) Sunshine, it has some the greatest number of sunny days in the United States. 5) Educational opportunities. The public schools are better than most military towns and there is UTEP. 6) It is in Texas which has no income tax and allows you to claim residence for the rest of your career once you live in the state. 7) Nice desert weather which means a wide spread between low and high temperatures so there is almost always a nice time to be outside. Incidentally, the desert does get snow usually actual accumulation of 3 to 5 inches for 1 to 2 days a year and the lows at night or often under freezing in the winter and usually you get a temperature down near to or at zero every winter. Of course, the afternoon high is likely to be in the fifties. In the summer afternoon highs of 90 or above usually means nighttime lows in 60s or 50s. Sure beats where I know live in Houston
I’m actually about to head to SAWE then I’m gonna drop a packet and see about going active from the guard. I’m a 11B E5 so I’m hoping to keep my rank as well
As long as there is not a large break in service you will keep your rank. People that usually don't get to keep their rank are those that get out for a year or so before going back in.
I was at Ft. Carson after Germany in 1988 and I hated it because I had so much fun in Europe and I was still only 18. We couldn't go to bars or clubs to meet chicks and Colorado Springs was a small town feel even though it was a city. Denver wasn't so fun even though it was away from Carson, state side was lame. I finally got my 4187 approved and went to Panama and I had fun their and being a Paratrooper and it was a single mans paradise.
I loved fort Huachuca.
Me too.
My cousins currently stationed at jblm he says its mainly outdoors, if i get the chance when i enlist jblm will definitely be on my dream sheet
And yeah to add to fort bliss,as a mexican i have to say juarez is definitely not for tourists, it has one of the larger crime rates and not safe at all even for the locals
I’ve been stationed at both Fort Campbell and Fort Hood (now Cavazos), they are great places. But I don’t see how they could exclude Schofield barracks in Hawaii, Vicenza, Italy along with Wiesbaden, Germany. Those three places are awesome. 👍🏾🇺🇸
Fort Huachuca was boring as hell! One good memory, was when I went up to Tucson to watch a spring training game with a fellow Admin puke, and our Legal NCO... We were at the game, that Randy Johnson hit the bird!
I loved Huachuca, but you do have to have a love for the outdoors and a mode of transportation. I loved going to Big Nose Kate's in Tombstone on lunch dates with my wife.
When Ft Lewis and McChord AFB combined to become JBLM, it surpassed Ft Hood as the largest military installation in the free world. Yes, it happened when it was Hood, not Cavazos.
Actually Fort Liberty (Fort Bragg) is considered the largest military instalation in the world. JBLM does have more acres than Liberty and Cavzos but I believe they have a larger population than JBLM so they count Liberty to be the largest.
Bragg is one of the coolest bases to be stationed at I gotta say
early 80s it wasn't that great, Fayetteville was a craphole. But overall I loved North Carolina.
Fort Campbell's Post Office is on the KY side, so therefore its in KY.
I would have thought 1st place would have been Ft Sam Houston. I loved Ft. Sam. San Antonio is nice place to be.
That post is mostly for medical so it's fairly limited as far as who can even request it.
I’m stationed at Campbell and I’m stabilizing
Ok, I'm originally from DC. I remember being in Navy bootcamp and being asked to fill out a 🤔💭 dream sheet 📃.......
My choices were
-Japan
-Hawaii
-Sandiego
&
-Jacksonville
Do you realize the Navy stationed me 2 hrs away in 🤬Norfolk, Virginia????
Using Fort Polk in the thumbnail is HILARIOUS
Based on a few comments from other it seemed to work well. Lol.
Don't know about the Army...but i did 26 years in the Marine Corps. And a MAJOR consideration when ranking assignments was always the cost of living in that area. Military pay is much better than it once was, but still lags behind civilian wages. Some installations in high-cost regions can put a very real stress on your lifestyle and budget. Having a bunch of great local amenities you can't afford is not an appealing scenario.
The post office is on the Kentucky side so yeah
Interesting that you show Ft. Polk (now Ft. Johnson) in the thumbnail. In the opening monologue in the film, "Patton" (1970), Patton, played by George C. Scott, makes reference to "...shoveling sh*t in Louisiana," he was referring to Camp Polk, as it was in WWII. Ol' Blood 'n' Guts got it right. BTW - Louisiana natives still refer to it as Ft. Polk, and screw the PC name change.
I guess Hawaii was not on the list because of the high cost of living there? Schofield Barracks would be my choice. I hate cold and snow. loool
It was further down on the list at 8. While it's cool to be in Hawaii I think alot of people prefer to be able to drive home when on vacation rather than always having to book a flight.
Schofield Barracks was my last duty station b4 getting out. I loved it, but that red dirt never comes out of your field gear!
Hawaii Alaska and all international bases are places a new soldier cannot choose as their initial duty station. They can still do dream sheets but they can’t say “i want to do infantry and guaranteed assignment in Germany” for instance
A lot of time if you can get someone to switch it's possible.
Get your Jungle there.
My son is stationed at Ft Campbell .
Surprised Hood is number 1. I was stationed there and I hated it. The place is too crowded. Takes for ever to get on and off post. Plus I was there with all the shootings. Was stationed in Germany also and I had a great time there. That would be my pick. To answer your question.
I am currently in Fort Cavazos and I love it here
Ft Hood?
Lol cap, that's just fort hood rebranded 😂
Same I’m here too
Yeah I assumed 25th old have been listed because..HAWAII🤭close to a large city for access to nightlife and women.🤗 outdoor activities and such plus the warm climate. But I guess I was wrong.🤷🏼♂️
If you like bugs and ear infections, request Ft Polk.
Fort Carson was my #1 choice and I got it in 2019. Leadership was the reason I left the Army. Leadership that took over when I got there was just as toxic as the old leadership.
Hard to fathom what modern day soldiers consider good duty stations since they are alien to soldiers of my day. I was stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, MO in 1962 for training for about 4-5 months, and then shipped overseas for 18 months before returning to spend my last year of my enlistment at Fort Campbell, KY. I liked Fort Campbell because it was like a small town. Very quiet and peaceful outside of my military duties, but my best duty station was in Ankara Turkey for 18 months. Duty was good there and I wanted to extend for 12 months and be discharged after i returned from there. The guy I replaced did that. I had it approved,, but the new Commander that came in about two months before my 18 months was up vetoed me staying on for another year. His only reason he gave me was he thought American Soldiers should not stay away from home too long in a country like Turkey. I was given the choice of going to Germany for one year or returning to the US. In a weak moment I decided to return to the US. But it worked out.
Can you plz do a video talking about 15N and 15F plz avionics and mechanics is the field I want to do but there’s not much out there to research😅
