Best & worst of in-processing & out-processing?

BEST part?
Probably Squadron/Platoon tour since that's when you meet all the people you're going to get to know best.

WORST?
Finance. They always hold the oddest hours they can get away with, there's always a line, the waiting area is usually too small, and there's always something wrong with or missing from your paperwork.

And tomorrow is a day when they aren't even open, unless it was today.

For Outprocessing it's juggling packing and being mostly packed in the last week before you leave and having people give you gifts that now have to be packed that's the worst. Best part depends on too many external factors to pin down, but I'll go with unpacking at the next stop.

The worst unit I have ever seen for in or out processing are Air Combat Command. The best was 62 airlift wing.

I was coming from Korea and bound for Manhiem Germany which at that time was one of the last 11B units. When I arrived at Frankfurt I ran a cross a Spc Morgan and Mulvaney who were clercs at the processing center. There was a newlywed couple just in front of me who had managed to make it in country together and were looking to get orders cut for a joint duty station. After several minutes of haggling they both left very disturbed. As I was coming up to the counter Morgan was laughing and telling Mulvaney that the gal was hot and so he cut her orders to stay where they were and had sent her Hubby way down south . When it was my turn I wound up getting my MOS changed from 11B to 11M and sent to Baumholder instead of Mannheim. This was my 1st taste of the bureaucratic bullshit of German Command.
